The Minamata Convention and mercury policy in China: The role of science
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)What role has science played in China’s decision to support and ratify the Minamata Convention, and in its domestic policies on mercury? Since 2000 there has been a strong increase in internationally produced knowledge on ... -
Littoral eutrophication indicators are more closely related to nearshore land use than to water nutrient concentrations: A critical evaluation of stressor-response relationships
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biological assessment metrics and water chemistry measurements are used to quantify the link between stressors and their effects on lake ecosystems, for the Water Framework Directive. However, correlations between metrics ... -
Quantification of an Adverse Outcome Pathway Network by Bayesian Regression and Bayesian Network Modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework has gained international recognition as a systematic approach linking mechanistic processes to toxicity endpoints. Nevertheless, successful implementation into risk assessments ... -
Polysaccharide degradation by the Bacteroidetes: mechanisms and nomenclature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Effects of achromatic and chromatic lights on pupillary response, endocrinology, activity, and milk production in dairy cows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Within and between breeding-season changes in contaminant occurrence and body condition in the Antarctic breeding south polar skua
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Antarctic ecosystem represents a remote region far from point sources of pollution. Still, Antarctic marine predators, such as seabirds, are exposed to organohalogen contaminants (OHCs) which may induce adverse health ... -
Site-specific responses of fungal and bacterial abundances to experimental warming in litter and soil across arctic and alpine tundra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Vegetation change of the Arctic tundra due to global warming is a well-known process, but the implication for the belowground microbial communities, key in nutrient cycling and decomposition, is poorly understood. We ... -
Phylogenomic analysis restructures the Ulvophyceae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Effects of Melatonin on Anterior Pituitary Plasticity: A Comparison Between Mammals and Teleosts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Melatonin is a key hormone involved in the photoperiodic signaling pathway. In both teleosts and mammals, melatonin produced in the pineal gland at night is released into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, providing rhythmic ... -
Maternal exposure to a human based mixture of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) affect gene expression related to brain function in mice offspring hippocampus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Male and female mice pups were exposed to a low and high dose of a human relevant mixture of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) during pregnancy and lactation. Most compounds detected in the dams were found in offspring ... -
Effect of environmental complexity and stocking density on fear and anxiety in broiler chickens
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Comparison of Circulating Markers and Mucosal Immune Parameters from Skin and Distal Intestine of Atlantic Salmon in Two Models of Acute Stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ensuring salmon health and welfare is crucial to maximize production in recirculation aquaculture systems. Healthy and robust mucosal surfaces of the skin and intestine are essential to achieve this goal because they are ... -
A human relevant mixture of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) differentially affect glutamate induced excitotoxic responses in chicken cerebellum granule neurons (CGNs) in vitro
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) derived from chicken embryos were used to explore the effects on developmental neurotoxicity by a complex defined mixture of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Its ... -
Part II: Living Life: A Meta-Synthesis Exploring Recovery as Processual Experiences

Down-stream processing of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) – Effect on nutrient digestibility and immune response in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Anatomy of teleost fish immune structures and organs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The function of a tissue is determined by its construction and cellular composition. The action of different genes can thus only be understood properly when seen in the context of the environment in which they are expressed ... -
Kan deltakelse i borgerforskningsprosjekter øke elevers interesse for naturfag på skolen?
(Master thesis, 2021)Kattesporet er et forskningsprosjekt som bruker barnefamilier som borgerforskere, for å studere huskatters atferd utendørs. Barnefamiliene dokumenterte kattens atferd og bevegelsesmønster med GPS og viltkamera over en ... -
Insertion of an endogenous Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus element into the BCO2 - gene abolishes its function and leads to yellow discoloration of adipose tissue in Norwegian Spælsau (Ovis aries).
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: The accumulation of carotenoids in adipose tissue leading to yellow fat is, in sheep, a heritable recessive trait that can be attributed to a nonsense mutation in the beta-carotene oxygenase 2 (BCO2) gene. ... -
