Effects of repeated captures on Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhyunchus) : implications for animal welfare and scientific bias
(Master thesis, 2021)Capturing and marking animals is an essential component of wildlife research. However, data gathered using invasive methods may lead to scientific bias and compromise animal welfare. It is therefore important to evaluate ... -
Effects of repeated short episodes of environmental acidification on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from a landlocked population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Chronic or repeated exposure to environmental contaminants may result in allostatic overload, a physiological situation in which the costs of coping affect long-term survival and reproductive output. Continuous measurements ... -
Effects of replacing barley grain in feedlot diets with increasing levels of glycerol on in vitro fermentation and methane production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011) -
Effects of replacing fish oil with microalgae biomass (Schizochytrium spp) as a source of n-3 LC-PUFA to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) on growth performance, fillet quality and fatty acid composition
(Master thesis, 2017)Low levels of EFA in fish feed as a result of changes in diet composition brings a need of finding a novel ingredient that will supplement Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) in fish feed. Microalgae have ability of producing ... -
Effects of resource availability on Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) offspring sex ratios
(Master thesis, 2022)The sex ratio of animals at birth has long been a topic of genetic, evolutionary, and biological interest. In polygynous species, mothers in good condition are typically expected to produce more males, while mothers in ... -
Effects of root zone composition and nitrogen and phosphorus rates on mycorrhizal colonization in different turfgrass species on sand-based golf greens in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2013-08-07)Mycorrhiza is an ancient and widespread form of symbiosis that takes place when specialized, soil-living fungi colonize plant roots, where they exchange nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in return of carbon ... -
Effects of rotational grazing intensity on the quantity and quality of soil organic carbon in Inner Mongolian grasslands
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of this thesis is to assess the effects of rotational grazing at varying grazing intensity on soil organic carbon (SOC) quantity and quality in Inner Mongolia. People of the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia, ... -
Effects of runner removal and partial defoliation on the growth and yield performance of ‘Favori’ everbearing strawberry plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It is not known to what degree growth and fruit yield are source-limited in everbearing strawberry plants. The growth and yield performance effect of bi-weekly removal of all runners and/or one or two leaves during the ... -
Effects of selective logging on Amazonian wildlife
(PhD thesis;2023:6, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Selective logging of tropical forests is rapidly expanding, making it inevitable that future tropical landscapes will be dominated by production forests. Any biodiversity conservation strategy must consider the potential ... -
Effects of size and forest structure of old-growth forests on the species richness of saproxylic insects
(Master thesis, 2016-02-18)Many saproxylic insects are threatened by extinction, and a decline in the saproxylic species has been observed since the 1800s. The loss of areas of old-growth forest, fragmentation and the decline in volume of dead wood ... -
Effects of snowmelt timing, temperature, and soil moisture on flowering phenology and seed set of Dryas octopetala
(Master thesis, 2023)Climate change advances the timing of life-cycle events (i.e., phenology) in plants, especially in cold biomes where the temperatures have increased twice as fast as in other biomes. In cold biomes, warmer temperatures ... -
The effects of SNP-density and sample size on G-REML estimates of genetic and genic variance
(Master thesis, 2021) -
Effects of socio-demographic characteristics and household water management on Aedes aegypti production in suburban and rural villages in Laos and Thailand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Effects of spatio-temporal weather conditions in autumn and winter on body mass and behaviour of the high Arctic Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus)
(Master thesis, 2018)There exists large consensus within the research community that climatic changes have a world-wide impact on ecosystems, which is further expected to be most prominent in the Arctic. In these strongly seasonal environments, ... -
Effects of stand structure and stand density on volume growth and ingrowth in selectively cut stands in Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis studied the effect of stand density on ingrowth, mortality, and volume increment in selectively cut stands in Norway. The effects of stand structure on growth were also addressed by determining the size-growth ... -
Effects of storage time, temperature and modified atmosphere on sensory quality and health related compounds in fresh-cut swede and turnip
(PhD Thesis;2015:9, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Introducing new fresh-cut vegetable products onto the market may increase vegetable consumption. Usually the availability of Norwegian grown vegetables for fresh-cut production is limited by a short growing season. However, ... -
Effects of subclinical footpad dermatitis and emotional arousal on surface foot temperature recorded with infrared thermography in turkey toms (Meleagris gallopavo)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Effects of supplement feed on cattle behaviour on pasture
(Master thesis, 2015-01-28)Genetics, supplement feed, environment, and management affect cattle behaviours and diurnal patterns on pasture, thus reflecting individual and/or group difference in time budgets. The aim of this study was to investigate ... -
