Dataset from long-term air quality monitoring in the World Natural Heritage Geirangerfjord, Western Norway (AQM-G)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Here, we present a datapaper containing observational air quality and meteorological data related to our long-term air quality monitoring program at the UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord, Western Norway. ... -
Dendrometer Measurements of Arctic-Alpine Dwarf Shrubs and Micro-Environmental Drivers of Plant Growth - Dataset from Long-Term Alpine Ecosystem Research in Central Norway (LTAER-NO)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Here, we present fine-scale measurements of stem diameter variation from three common arctic-alpine dwarf-shrub species monitored in two mountain regions of Central Norway. All three species (Betula nana, Empetrum nigrum ... -
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 ... -
Detection of tick-borne pathogens by molecular methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)The use of molecular methods such as species-specific PCR, Multiplex-PCR, RT-PCR, reverse line blot hybridisation in investigations of tick-borne pathogens allowed to detect and identify the causative agents of Lyme ... -
Determinants of lifetime reproduction in female brown bears: early body mass, longevity, and hunting regulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)In iteroparous mammals, conditions experienced early in life may have long‐lasting effects on lifetime reproductive success. Human‐induced mortality is also an important demographic factor in many populations of large ... -
Development and evaluation of 16 new microsatellite loci for the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) and cross-species amplification for the willow grouse (L. lagopus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Abstract The genetic markers designed for this study can facilitate future genetic studies on the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta). To our knowledge no microsatellite markers have ever been developed specifically for this ... -
Differences in the vertical distribution pattern of Betula pubescens in Norway and its ecological significance
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 1996)Several factors influence the altitudinal position of the climatic forest-limit. In addition to variations due to different "forest-limit" definitions, topographic factors are very important. In Western Norway, a range of ... -
Directed endozoochorous dispersal by scavengers facilitate sexual reproduction in otherwise clonal plants at cadaver sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. The regeneration niche of many plant species involves spatially and temporally unpredictable disturbances, called recruitment windows of opportunity. However, even species with clear dispersal adaptations such as fleshy ... -
The distribution limit of the common tick, Ixodes ricinus, and some associated pathogens in north-western Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In north-western Europe, the common tick, Ixodes ricinus, is widely established, its distribution appears to be increasing and the spread of tick-borne diseases is of increasing concern. The project ‘Flått i Nord’ (Ticks ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Diversity in prevalence and genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks and rodents in Lithuania and Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)A total of 1679 questing Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in Lithuania and 535 I. ricinus ticks collected in Norway from locations with different habitats were investigated for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. ... -
Diversity of thermophilic Campylobacter isolated from slaughter pigs in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Out of 100 faecal swab samples, 88 thermophilic Campylobacter representing ten herds were isolated. The species were identified by biotyping and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of the isolates, 86 (97.7%) were ... -
Diversity of thermophilic Campylobacter isolated from the Bø River, Southeast Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Out of 125 samples we isolated 45 thermophilic Campylobacter spp. from Bø River by filtration followed by growth on selective agar plates. The species were identified by biotyping, multiplex PCR and riboprinting. C. jejuni ... -
Diving behavior in a free-living, semi-aquatic herbivore, the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Semi-aquatic mammals have secondarily returned to the aquatic environment, although they spend a major part of their life operating in air. Moving both on land, as well as in, and under water is challenging because such ... -
Do bank voles (Myodes glareolus) trapped in live and lethal traps show differences in tick burden?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In studies assessing tick abundance, the use of live traps to capture and euthanize rodent hosts is a commonly used method to determine their burden. However, captive animals can experience debilitating or fatal capture ... -
Do Eurasian beavers smear their pelage with castoreum and anal gland secretion
