Genetic structure of Sufflogobius bibarbatus in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem using microsatellite markers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The bearded goby Sufflogobius bibarbatus is an abundant endemic small fish species on the continental shelf of the northern Benguela. The goby habitat is characterised by generally low bottom oxygen concentrations that ... -
New and noteworthy lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Twelve species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are reported as new to Fennoscandia. Additionally, we report 19 species as new to Norway. New localites are given for 47 rare or seldom collected species. The new combination ... -
Approaches to improve utilization of Nannochloropsis oceanica in plant-based feeds for Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rigid cell walls of microalgae lower the digestibility and nutrient bioavailability in carnivorous fish. Extrusion is a thermo-mechanical process and a scalable technology that may break cell walls and improves nutrient ... -
Imaging flow cytometry protocols for examining phagocytosis of microplastics and bioparticles by immune cells of aquatic animals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Imaging flow cytometry (IFC) is a powerful tool which combines flow cytometry with digital microscopy to generate quantitative high-throughput imaging data. Despite various advantages of IFC over standard flow cytometry, ... -
Molecular phylogeny of one extinct and two critically endangered Central Asian sturgeon species (genus Pseudoscaphirhynchus) based on their mitochondrial genomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The enigmatic and poorly studied sturgeon genus Pseudoscaphirhynchus (Scaphirhynchinae: Acipenseridae) comprises three species: the Amu Darya shovelnose sturgeon (Pseudoscaphirhynchus kaufmanni (Bogdanow)), dwarf Amu Darya ... -
Survival and migration of Rock Ptarmigan in Central Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In a world undergoing massive declines in the distribution and abundance of many wildlife species, documenting basic ecological characteristics is often needed to be able to understand and potentially mitigate current and ... -
A new strain group of common carp: The genetic differences and admixture events between Cyprinus carpio breeds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Common carp (Cyprinus carpio ) has an outstanding economic importance in freshwater aquaculture due to its high adaptive capacity to both food and environment. In fact, it is the third most farmed fish species worldwide ... -
Pseudozyma priming influences expression of genes involved in metabolic pathways and immunity in zebrafish larvae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Fungi, particularly yeasts, are known essential components of the host microbiota but their functional relevance in development of immunity and physiological processes of fish remains to be elucidated. In this study, we ... -
Growth performance, fast muscle development and chemical composition of juvenile lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fed diets incorporating soy and pea protein concentrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are widely applied as biological delousers in open net-pen farming of Atlantic salmon. As a species new to farming it is necessary to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the capacity of ... -
Reindeer carcasses provide foraging habitat for insectivorous birds of the alpine tundra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)On August of 2016, almost an entire herd (n = 323) of wild tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) was killed by lightning on Hardangervidda in southern Norway. While conducting fieldwork for another study in 2017, we ... -
Novel genomic resources for shelled pteropods : A draft genome and target capture probes for Limacina bulimoides, tested for cross-species relevance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Pteropods are planktonic gastropods that are considered as bio-indicators to monitor impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems. In order to gain insight into their adaptive potential to future ... -
Unraveling the chloroplast genomes of two Prosopis species to identify its genomic information, comparative analyses and phylogenetic relationship
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Genus Prosopis (family Fabaceae) are shrubby trees, native to arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, Africa, and America and known for nitrogen fixation. Here, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of two ... -
Expanded inverted repeat region with large scale inversion in the first complete plastid genome sequence of Plantago ovata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plantago ovata (Plantaginaceae) is an economically and medicinally important species, however, least is known about its genomics and evolution. Here, we report the first complete plastome genome of P. ovata and comparison ... -
Cold seeps in a warming Arctic : Insights for benthic ecology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cold-seep benthic communities in the Arctic exist at the nexus of two extreme environments; one reflecting the harsh physical extremes of the Arctic environment and another reflecting the chemical extremes and strong ... -
Iron cycling in Arctic methane seeps
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Anoxic marine sediments contribute a significant amount of dissolved iron (Fe2+) to the ocean which is crucial for the global carbon cycle. Here, we investigate iron cycling in four Arctic cold seeps where sediments are ... -
Environmental pollutants modulate RNA and DNA virus-activated miRNA-155 expression and innate immune system responses: Insights into new immunomodulative mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many persistent organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have high immunomodulating potentials. Exposure to them, in combination with virus infections, has been shown to aggravate outcomes of the ... -
A truncated galectin-3 isolated from skin mucus of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar binds to and modulates the proteome of the gram-negative bacteria Moritella viscosa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The mucus of fish skin plays a vital role in innate immune defense. Some mucus proteins have the potential to incapacitate pathogens and/or inhibit their passage through the skin. In this study the aim was to isolate and ... -
CircParser : a novel streamlined pipeline for circular RNA structure and host gene prediction in non-model organisms
