Contribution of camera-trapping to the knowledge of Abrocoma boliviensis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rare and endemic rodent species, such as the critically endangered Bolivian chinchilla rat, Abrocoma boliviensis, are infrequently captured using traditional trapping methods. Therefore, to determine their presence and ... -
MIS 3 sediment stratigraphy in southern Sweden sheds new light on the complex glacial history and dynamics across southern Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Recent studies have revealed that areas with sediments pre‐dating the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are more common in southern Scandinavia than previously thought. To describe and date these sediments, four deep core drillings ... -
Contrasting demographic histories revealed in two invasive populations of the dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Globalization and international trade have impacted organisms around the world leading to a considerable number of species establishing in new geographic areas. Many organisms have taken advantage of human-made environments, ... -
Improving Utilization of Maximal Oxygen Uptake and Work Economy in Recreational Cross-Country Skiers With High-Intensity Double-Poling Intervals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Purpose: To investigate the effect of a double-poling (DP) high-intensity aerobic interval-training (HIT) intervention performed without increasing total HIT volume. This means that regular HIT training (eg, running) was ... -
Soft resilience: moisture-dependent lichen elasticity buffer herbivore trampling in cold alpine-tundra ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Herbivores may have extensive top-down effects in open grazing ecosystems, generating vegetation changes by grazing and trampling. Trampling effects are understudied, but may be a major ecological factor. In cold alpine-Arctic ... -
Doctorateness across Higher Education Institutions in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This article investigates doctorateness in Norway by evaluating the juridical regulations for doctoral studies at all PhD-awarding universities and university colleges according to the following categories: admission, ... -
No change – no gain; The effect of age, sex, selected genes and training on physiological and performance adaptations in cross-country skiing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim was to investigate the effect of training, sex, age and selected genes on physiological and performance variables and adaptations before, and during 6 months of training in well-trained cross-country skiers. ... -
Low-density debris flows and floods modeling in the Susuya river basin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Significant area of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk city within the river Susuya flood plain, a terrace above it and its tributaries are located in flood prone zone. The aim of this research was to estimate maximum characteristics of ... -
Effect of Aerobic Exercise Intensity on Energy Expenditure and Weight Loss in Severe Obesity—A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of two aerobic exercise programs of different intensities on energy expenditure. Methods: This was a single‐center randomized controlled trial of patients with severe ... -
10Be surface exposure dating of the deglaciation of northernmost Norway and Finland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)During the Last Glacial Maximum, the coast of Finnmark county, northern Norway, was covered by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS), which coalesced with the Barents Sea Ice Sheet (BSIS) off the coast. The region is thus ... -
Responses to Maximal Strength Training in Different Age and Gender Groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the potential impact of age, gender, baseline strength, and selected candidate polymorphisms on maximal strength training (MST) adaptations. Methods: A total of 49 subjects ... -
Beaver genetic surveillance in Britain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Founder genetic composition can affect reintroduction success, especially as the number of animals released tends to be small and therefore less genetically diverse than their source populations. Numerous translocations ... -
Fears from the past? The innate ability of dogs to detect predator scents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Throughout the animal kingdom, antipredator mechanisms are an evolutionary driving force to enable the survival of species classified as prey. Information regarding a predator’s location can be determined through chemosensory ... -
Investigating and analysing the summer season soil temperature conditions on the extensive green roofs in Oslo, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Recently, green roofs have been investigated in-creasingly to improve the quality of municipal environment particularly to reduce the urban heat island effect and storm water runoff. Soil temperature is one of the most ... -
Hydropower‐driven thermal changes, biological responses and mitigating measures in northern river systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Water temperatures control life histories and diversity of aquatic species. Hydropower regulation, particularly in high head systems, alters natural water temperature regimes, which may have profound and long‐term impacts ... -
Emerging trends of the illegal wildlife trade in Mesoamerica
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mesoamerica is the world's third largest biodiversity hotspot and has c. 4,000 wildlife species protected under CITES. Despite the high biodiversity in the region, there is limited global attention, data and funding for ... -
A guide for studying among-individual behavioral variation from movement data in the wild
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view unexplained variation around the mean as "noise"when ... -
Are trends in Olive Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) nesting abundance affected by El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability? Sixteen years of monitoring on the Pacific coast of northern Central America
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Long-term monitoring is essential for the identification of population trends, and to understand how these trends are affected by climate variability. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest global interannual ... -
Molecular characterisation of TP53 mutated squamous cell carcinomas of the lung to identify putative targets for therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Personalised cancer treatment depends on identification of therapeutically relevant biological subgroups of patients for assessing effect of treatment and to discover new therapeutic options. By analyses in heterogeneous ... -
Insights in the regulation of trimetylamine N-oxide production using a comparative biomimetic approach suggest a metabolic switch in hibernating bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Experimental studies suggest involvement of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the aetiology of cardiometabolic diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD), in part via metabolism of ingested food. Using a comparative biomimetic ...
