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 ... -
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 ... -
Mitochondrial phylogeography of the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber L.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Nucleotide variation in an approximately 490 bp fragment of the mitochondrial DNA control region (mtDNA CR) was used to describe the genetic variation and phylogeographical pattern in the Eurasian beaver ( Castor fiber ) ... -
Modeled storm surge changes in a warmer world: the Last Interglacial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Last Interglacial (LIG; ca. 125 ka) is a period of interest for climate research as it is the most recent period of the Earth's history when the boreal climate was warmer than at present. Previous research, based on ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
More than agriculture: Analysing time-cumulative human impact on European land-cover of second half of the holocene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Assessment of past anthropogenic modifications of land-cover dynamics is key to understanding the human role in the Earth system. Recent advances in palaeoenvironmental sciences allow us to assess the long-term impacts of ... -
Movement and habitat selection of a large carnivore in response to human infrastructure differs by life stage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: The movement extent of mammals is influenced by human-modified areas, which can affect population demographics. Understanding how human infrastructure influences movement at different life stages is important ... -
National Parks in Northern Sweden as Refuges for Illegal Killing of Large Carnivores
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Large protected areas are often considered to be as important as population size in reducing extinction risk for large carnivores. However, the effectiveness of protected areas for large carnivore survival has rarely been ... -
A nature-based solution to a landfill-leachate contamination of a confined aquifer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Remediation of groundwater from landfill contamination presents a serious challenge due to the complex mixture of contaminants discharged from landfills. Here, we show the significance of a nature-based solution to a ... -

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. ... -
Non-small cell lung cancer is characterised by a distinct inflammatory signature in serum compared with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Development of lung cancer is closely related to smoking in a majority of patients. Most smokers, however, do not develop lung cancer in spite of a high mutational load accumulating in the lung tissue. Here we investigate ... -

Norwegian rock ptarmigan ectoparasites: chewing lice (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera) and feather mites (Astigmata, Psoroptidia)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Feather mites (Astigmata, Psoroptidia), quill mites (Prostigmata, Syringophilidae) and chewing lice (Phthiraptera) are prominent parts of avian ectoparasites communities. Much attention has been directed to chewing lice ... -
Novel terrestrial haul-out behaviour by ringed seals (Pusa hispida) in Svalbard, in association with harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ringed seals ( Pusa hispida ) are the most ice-associated of all Arctic pinnipeds. In the Svalbard area, this species has always given birth, moulted and rested on sea ice. In addition, much of their food has been comprised ... -
Odorant source used in Eurasian beaver territory marking
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)Mammals use urine, feces, or the secretion of specialized skin glands to mark their territories. These sources can carry different information and, thus, have different functions. Presently it is not known if beavers (Castor ... -
Optimal foraging by a large ungulate in an extreme environment: Wild mountain reindeer select snow-free feeding habitats in winter
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Optimal foraging models predict that individual animals will optimize net energy gain by intensifying forage activity and/or reducing forage energy cost. Then, the free distribution model predicts an animal's distribution ...
