(Master thesis, 2024)Lokale genetiske variasjoner i Rødrandkjuke (Fomitopsis pinicola) ble utforsket ved at 30 kjuker ble samlet inn i Bø og Notodden i Sør-Norge. 17 individer ble funnet over 400 meter over havet, disse ble merket som «høy ... -
Investigating the presence of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in River Sandvikselva by eDNA analysis
(Master thesis, 2024)Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae is a myxozoan parasite that poses a threat to salmonid fish populations leading to development of the potential lethal Proliferative Kidney Disease (PKD). The presence and effects of T. ... -
Bambi i byen: økologien til rådyr i urbane områder. Moss og Råde kommune, Viken fylke
(Master thesis, 2024)Voksende urbanisering fører til fragmentering- og tap av habitat, som medfører at hjortevilt må oppsøke nye hjemmeområder. Økt mattilgang og lavere predasjonstrussel, driver flere rådyr (Capreolus capreolus) til å øke ... -
Mikroplast i elvesediment og kantsonen i Sauarelva, Telemark
(Master thesis, 2024)Denne master oppgaven undersøker antall og størrelsesfordelingen av mikroplast i elvesedimentet i Sauarelven og i kantsonen rundt elven i Telemark. Tretten prøvepunkter ble valgt langs elven, punk 1 var øverst i elven og ... -
Jorddamping og dens effekt på jordøkosystemet
(Master thesis, 2024)Denne oppgaven tar for seg jordøkosystemet og effekten av å dampe jorda. Jordet har tidligere fått påvist Phytophthora fragariae og har ligget brakk siden da. Soilsteam International har dampa 9 ruter på 1,43 x 2,27 m og ... -
Næringsstoffers innvirknings på planteplankton og toksinproduksjon i utvalgte innsjøer i Vestfold
(Master thesis, 2024)Feltarbeidet ble gjennomført i samarbeid med Statsforvalteren i Vestfold og Telemark. Det ble gjennomført prøvetaking en gang i måneden i perioden juni til september 2023. Vannprøver (blandprøve) ble hentet fra overflaten ... -
Effekten av damping på Phytophthora fragariae og andre Oomyceter
(Master thesis, 2024)Phytophthora fragariae og andre oomyceter er en viktig del av jordsammensetningen. Mange oomyceter er patogene og i denne oppgaven ser jeg på hvordan jorddamping vil kunne påvirke Phytophthora fragariae, men også andre ... -
A comparative analysis of Merlin and BirdNet applications for accurate bird species identification through passive acoustic monitoring
(Master thesis, 2024)In recent years, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring avian biodiversity. However, a major challenge has been to develop algorithms that can process large amounts of data, and at ... -
Macro chemistry, nutrients, and heavy metals in River Bø-elva upstream and downstream Bø sewage treatment plant - 2023

(Master thesis, 2024)This study investigates the genomic structure of Fomitopsis pinicola populations across western and eastern Norway to determine the extent of reproductive isolation and gene flow, identify genomic regions potentially ... -
Exploring gastropod presence along an altitudinal gradient in reindeer habitat: implications for infection with brainworm disease.
(Master thesis, 2024)The emergence of diseases, such as cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis caused by brain worms or Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), as a critical threat to wildlife has accentuated the necessity of understanding disease dynamics ... -
Influence on Alert Distance and Flight Reaction of Roe Deer
(Master thesis, 2024)As human development expands across the planet, there are fewer places where animals can find a safe refuge. This leads to animals encroaching on human settlements and an increase in animal-human interactions. As this ... -
The Bear Minimum: Brown bears “bearly” react to secondary research activities
(Master thesis, 2024)Anthropogenic disturbances can alter wildlife movement, potentially causing changes in behavior, increased stress, reduced fitness, and, in severe cases, death. This study focuses on how non-intrusive field research ... -
