Characterisation of the bacterial microbiota of a landfill-contaminated confined aquifer undergoing intrinsic remediation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Literature on microbiomes of landfill leachate-contaminated aquifers is scarce despite groundwater contaminations from landfills being common globally. In this study, a combination of microbiological techniques was applied ... -
Characterization of bacterial community associated with phytoplankton bloom in a eutrophic lake in South Norway using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Interactions between different phytoplankton taxa and heterotrophic bacterial communities within aquatic environments can differentially support growth of various heterotrophic bacterial species. In this study, phytoplankton ... -
Climate influence on plant–pollinator interactions in the keystone species Vaccinium myrtillus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Climate change is altering the world's ecosystems through direct effects of climate warming and precipitation changes but also indirectly through changes in biotic interactions. For instance, climate-driven changes in plant ... -
Clinicopathological factors associated with tumour-specific mutation detection in plasma of patients with RAS-mutated or BRAF-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Detection of tumour-specific circulating cell-free DNA in plasma (ctDNA) fails in a significant number of cases depending on the clinical context. The primary aim was to investigate clinicopathological factors associated ... -
Collapsing burrow causes death of a Eurasian beaver, Castor fiber
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)The death of a Eurasian Beaver Castor fiber caused by a collapsing burrow in southeast Norway is reported. Two days of heavy rainfall had presumably caused the burrow to collapse, suffocating the animal. -
Colonizing the high arctic: Mitochondrial DNA reveals common origin of Eurasian archipelagic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In light of current debates on global climate change it has become important to know more on how large, roaming species have responded to environmental change in the past. Using the highly variable mitochondrial control ... -
Comeback of the beaver Castor fiber : an overview of old and new conservation problems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)Due to over-hunting c. 1200 Eurasian previous termbeaversnext term Castor fiber survived in eight relict populations in Europe and Asia at the beginning of the 20th century. Following hunting restrictions and translocation ... -
Comparison of Norwegian poultry, waterborne and clinical isolates of Campylobacter jejuni by ribotyping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Campylobacteriosis is the most frequently occurring food and waterborne gastroenteritis in Norway and 90% of cases are caused by Campylobacter jejuni. Campylobacteriosis is epidemiologically associated with use of ... -
Compatibility of preparatory procedures for the analysis of cortisol concentrations and stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N) ratios: a test on brown bear hair
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The measurement of naturally occurring glucocorticoids and stable isotopes of several elements has gained importance in wildlife studies in recent decades and opened a myriad of ecological applications. Cortisol and stable ... -
A Conflict between Traditional Flood Measures and Maintaining River Ecosystems? A Case Study Based Upon the River Lærdal, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Floods are among the most damaging of natural disasters, and flood events are expected to increase in magnitude and frequency with the effects of climate change and changes in land use. As a consequence, much focus has ... -
Consistent imprints of elevation, soil temperature and moisture on plant and arthropod communities across two subarctic landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Factors shaping arthropod and plant community structure at fine spatial scales are poorly understood. This includes microclimate, which likely plays a large role in shaping local community patterns, especially in ... -
Continent-Wide Modelling of Potential Habitats and Connectivity for the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) once inhabited almost the whole of the European continent. After facing nearly complete extinction about a century ago, they now form a more or less connected metapopulation with eleven broad-scale ... -
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, ... -
Contrasting Growth Response of Evergreen and Deciduous Arctic-Alpine Shrub Species to Climate Variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Broad-scale changes in arctic-alpine vegetation and their global effects have long been recognized and labeled one of the clearest examples of the terrestrial impacts of climate change. Arctic-alpine dwarf shrubs are a key ... -
Contrasting northern and southern European winter climate trends during the Last Interglacial
