Glacial history and palaeo-environmental change of southern Taimyr Peninsula, Arctic Russia, during the Middle and Late Pleistocene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We here reconstruct a glacial and climate history of arctic NW Siberia for the last ~600,000 years, based on the stratigraphy and chronology of 35 studied river sections on the southern Taimyr Peninsula. From this stratigraphic ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This Data in Brief paper contains data (including images) from Quaternary sedimentary successions investigated along the Bol'shaya Balakhnya River and the Luktakh–Upper Taimyra–Logata river system on southern Taimyr ... -
Strutseving (Matteúccia struthiópteris (L.) Tod.) - en vanlig bregneart som kan bli en gourmetgrønnsak også i Norge. Litteraturoversikt
(Bioforsk TEMA;, Research report, 2007)Det finnes et landbruksprodukt som er sterkt etterspurt i deler av USA og Canada, men som synes å være nesten ukjent i Europa. Produktet har blitt beskrevet som ”en smakfull og næringsrik grønnsak”. Råvaretilgangen og ... -
Mikronisert Solaritt (Ca-silikat) for bruk i vassdragskalking
(NIVA-rapport;, Research report, 2019)To typer av mikronisert solaritt (Ca2SiO4); Sol.2 og Sol.3, ble undersøkt for egnethet til bruk i vassdragskalking. Solarittene ble sammenliknet med de tradisjonelle kalkingsmidlene CaCO3 og NaOH i labforsøk for å studere ... -
Total circulating cell-free DNA as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic colorectal cancer before first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a heterogeneous disease where prognosis is dependent both on tumor biology and host factors. Total circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has shown to harbor prognostic ... -
Cervids as sentinel-species for tick-borne encephalitis virus in Norway - A serological study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is the causative agent of tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE). TBEV is one of the most important neurological pathogens transmitted by tick bites in Europe. The objectives of this study were ... -
Coupling of VAMPERS within iLOVECLIM: experiments during the LGM and Last Deglaciation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The VAMPERS (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Permafrost Snow Model) has been coupled within iLOVECLIM, an earth system model. This advancement allows the thermal coupling between permafrost and climate to be examined from a ... -
Agreement between reconstructed and modeled boreal precipitation of the Last Interglacial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The last extended time period when climate may have been warmer than today was during the Last Interglacial (LIG; ca. 129 to 120 thousand years ago). However, a global view of LIG precipitation is lacking. Here, seven new ... -
Distribution of allele frequencies for genes associated with physical activity and/or physical capacity in a homogenous Norwegian cohort- a cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background There are large individual differences in physical activity (PA) behavior as well as trainability of physical capacity. Heritability studies have shown that genes may have as much impact on exercise participation ... -
Experimental infection of lambs with tick-borne encephalitis virus and co-infection with Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic pathogen which may cause tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in humans and animals. More than 10,000 cases of TBE are reported annually in Europe and Asia. However, the knowledge ... -
Brood‐stock management and early hatchery rearing of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (Linnaeus))
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (Linnaeus)) is a stenothermic cold‐water fish, which has been cultured in Northern Europe and North America since the 1980s. The industry has remained relatively small with an annual ... -
Modelling the vegetation response to the 8.2 ka BP cooling event in Europe and Northern Africa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The 8.2 ka bp cooling event is assumed to be the most clearly marked abrupt climate event in the Holocene at northern mid‐ to high latitudes. In this study, we simulate the vegetation responses to the 8.2 ka bp climate ... -
Distribution of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Ixodes ricinus ticks along the coast of Norway: The western seaboard is a low-prevalence region
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Neoehrlichia mikurensis is a tick‐borne pathogen widespread among ticks and rodents in Europe and Asia. A previous study on Ixodes ricinus ticks in Norway suggested that N. mikurensis was scarce or absent on the south‐west ... -
Detection of Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Norway up to the northern limit of Ixodes ricinus distribution using a novel real time PCR test targeting the groEL gene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne pathogen. It is widely distributed in Ixodes ricinus ticks in Europe, but knowledge of its distribution in Norway, where I. ricinus reaches its ... -
The influence of a submerged meadow on uptake and trophic transfer of legacy mercury from contaminated sediment in the food web in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)There are contradicting results on the importance of legacy mercury (Hg) contaminated sediments to Hg fish tissue concentrations. Still, sediment remediation actions often aim at minimizing ecosystem exposure and human ... -
Sex-biased dispersal in a northern ungulate population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)In most mammals dispersal is male-biased and in many polygynous ungulates female philopatry and matrilineal grouping involve small-scale genetic structure. We have through sex-related differences in microsatellite allele ... -
Improved Environmental Status: 50 Years of Declining Fish Mercury Levels in Boreal and Subarctic Fennoscandia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Temporally (1965–2015) and spatially (55°–70°N) extensive records of total mercury (Hg) in freshwater fish showed consistent declines in boreal and subarctic Fennoscandia. The database contains 54 560 fish entries (n: pike ... -
Identification of salmon population bottlenecks from low flows in a hydro-regulated river
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Flow regime alterations from hydropower regulation may impact fish populations. Impacts can be characterized using methods for mapping bottlenecks for different species life stages. Improving the understanding of such ... -
Heritability of head size in a hunted large carnivore, the brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Wild animal populations experience selection pressures from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The availability of extensive pedigrees is increasing along with our ability to quantify the heritability and evolvability ... -
