The ecology of phytoplankton with focus on cyanobacteria and of aquatic macrophytes in selected lakes and reservoirs in Myanmar
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;153, Doctoral thesis, 2023-02-23)Myanmar’s freshwater systems are increasingly subjected to degradation, eutrophication, and anthropogenic impacts. The most visible effects of eutrophication in lakes and rivers are dense blooms of noxious, foul-smelling ... -
Territorial movement behaviour in the Eurasian beaver
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;162, Doctoral thesis, 2023-06-09)It can be challenging to observe and quantify natural behaviour in wild free-ranging animals. Species that are reclusive or exploit multiple environments, such as semi-aquatic mammals, may be particularly difficult to ... -
Impact of climate change and habitat degradation on two endangered reptiles: the Guatemalan beaded lizard and the Olive Ridley sea turtle
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;165, Doctoral thesis, 2023-06-15)Climate change and habitat degradation are the main threats to non-avian reptiles. Non-avian reptiles are a clade of ectothermic vertebrates that include turtles, alligators, lizards, amphisbaenians, and snakes. As ectotherms, ... -
Tick-borne encephalitis virus: an emerging virus in Scandinavia

TBE cases are increasing in Scandinavia over the last few decades ... -
Modelling and characterization of climate, environment, and human impact during the Holocene and Eemian using an Interactive Physical Downscaling
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;199, Doctoral thesis, 2024-06-26)The study of the past climate is important as it provides valuable information about how the earth’s climate has changed over long timescales and helps scientists to better understand natural climate processes and distinguish ... -
The effects of diet and metabolism on the life history of an omnivorous carnivore
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;209, Doctoral thesis, 2024-11-01)Many ecological principles are built on relationships which connect an organism’s diet, space-use, and fitness. However, actualizing these theoretical relationships into reality is complicated, because an organism’s fitness ... -
Pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma. Proteomics and metabolite profiles
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;216, Doctoral thesis, 2024-12-17)Adenokarsinom med utgangspunkt i det periampullære området har fellesbetegnelsen periampullært karsinom og inkluderer pankreatisk duktalt adenokarsinom (PDAC), ampullært karsinom, duodenalt adenokarsinom og distalt ...
