Functional characterization of the germination receptors in the spore-forming species Bacillus licheniformis
(PhD Thesis;2017:80, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The food industry experience extensive losses worldwide due to food spoilage caused by microbial activity. Endospore-forming bacteria, such as members of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium, are becoming increasingly ... -
Functional divergence of thyrotropin beta-subunit paralogs gives new insights into salmon smoltification metamorphosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Smoltification is a metamorphic event in salmon life history, which initiates downstream migration and pre-adapts juvenile salmon for seawater entry. While a number of reports concern thyroid hormones and smoltification, ... -
Functional growth analysis of ‘Sonata’ strawberry plants grown under controlled temperature and daylength conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In order to investigate the relationship between environmental conditions and vegetative growth and reproductive development in the strawberry, freshly rooted runner plants of the cultivar ‘Sonata’ were grown in a phytotron ... -
Functional insights into novel factors affecting cell division in Gram-positive bacteria
(PhD Thesis;2021:91, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is a major contributor to a range of different infections in human and animals that have become difficult to treat because of the rise of antibiotic resistant strains. New ... -
Functional interrogation of the elovl5 gene regulation in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) and cholesterol are important for different physiological pathways including immunology. As these cannot be synthesized in the teleosts including Salmon itself, food supplement ... -
Functional response of the Eurasian kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in a season with low vole abundance
(Master thesis, 2013-09-18)Abstract Understanding a predator’s functional response is an important step in understanding the effect predators have on prey populations. To investigate this five breeding pairs of the Eurasian kestrels (Falco ... -
Functional structure of European forest beetle communities is enhanced by rare species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Functional studies of ERAP2 associated with risk of autoimmune diseases
(Master thesis, 2018)Autoimmune diseases are prevalent in the global population affecting approximately 5-10% worldwide, with increasing incidence. The complexity of these diseases has made diagnostic assessment problematic, as they vary in ... -
Functional trait and life-history variation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi during secondary succession
(Journal article, 2017)Composition of plant communities during secondary succession are, to a great extent, determined by their arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbionts. However, the role of AM fungi in driving secondary succession of plant communities ... -
Functional traits across primary producer groups and their effects on micro-arthropod communities in alpine Norway
(PhD Thesis;2019:71, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The vegetation of alpine ecosystems, i.e. those above the elevation of the tree line, consists not only of vascular plants, but also of non-vascular primary producers such as lichens and bryophytes. The use of functional ... -
Functional traits and decomposition of lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants in an alpine ecosystem
(PhD Thesis;2019:44, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Functional traits influence how an organism responds to its environment and how this can affect ecosystem processes such as decomposition. The majority of trait-based studies have focused on vascular plants, while non-vascular ... -
Functional traits, not productivity, predict alpine plant community openness to seedling recruitment under climatic warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Functionalised microwave sensors for real‑time monitoring of copper and zinc concentration in mining‑impacted water

Funding biodiversity conservation : an assessment of local opportunity costs and instruments to compensate for them
(Master thesis, 2013-08-26)Conservation of coniferous forests is a significant contribution to preserving biodiversity in Norway. At present about 2.7 percent of the productive forest area in Norway is conserved, while ecologists recommend at least ... -
Fungal aerosols : characterization and immunodetection of fungal fragments
(PhD Thesis;2015:26, Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-30)Indoor environments with high moisture problems often reveal colonization of indoor materials by fungi with release of airborne fungal particles. Exposure to airborne fungal particles has been associated with various ... -
Fungal community dynamics across a forest–alpine ecotone

Fungal Interactions and Host Tree Preferences in the Spruce Bark Beetle Ips typographus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The spruce bark beetle Ips typographus is the most damaging pest in European spruce forests and has caused great ecological and economic disturbances in recent years. Although native to Eurasia, I. typographus has been ... -
Fungal succession in decomposing ash leaves colonized by the ash dieback pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus or its harmless relative Hymenoscyphus albidus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction: The ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, originating from Asia, is currently threatening common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) in Europe, massive ascospore production from the saprotrophic phase being a key determinant ... -
Fungerer BREEAM-NOR-poengsystemet for nybygg i Norge, slik at det faktisk medfører en reell bærekraft i utearealer?
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Denne oppgaven vurderer poenggivningen i BREEAM-NOR v6.0 for utearealer i nybygging. Målt opp mot litteratur vil oppgaven vurdere om poenggivningen honorer tiltak riktig med tanke på de utfordringene klima- og naturkrisen, ...
