• Preying on seals pushes killer whales from Norway above pollution effects thresholds 

      Andvik, Clare; Jourdain, Eve; Ruus, Anders; Lyche, Jan Ludvig; Karoliussen, Richard; Borgå, Katrine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are at risk from high levels of biomagnifying pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and mercury (Hg). Previous toxicological risk assessments for the Norwegian killer whale ...
    • Remote, autonomous real‑time monitoring of environmental DNA from commercial fish 

      Hansen, Brian K; Jacobsen, Magnus W; Middelboe, Anne Lise; Preston, Christina M.; Marin III, Roman; Bekkevold, Dorte; Knudsen, Steen Wilhelm; Møller, Peter R.; Nielsen, Einar E (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for monitoring marine organisms; however, offshore sampling and time lag from sampling to results remain problematic. In order to overcome these challenges a robotic sampler, ...
    • Road related pollutants induced DNA damage in dragonfly nymphs (Odonata, Anisoptera) living in highway sedimentation ponds 

      Meland, Sondre; Gomes, Tania; Petersen, Karina; Håll, Johnny; Lund, Espen; Kringstad, Alfhild; Grung, Merete (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Nowadays, stormwater sedimentation ponds are popular in stormwater management because of their ability to mitigate flooding and treat polluted runoff from e.g. roads. In addition, they may provide other ecosystem services ...
    • Temperature and prey density drive growth and otolith formation of the world's most valuable fish stock 

      Ofelio, Claudia; Moyano, Marta; Sswat, Michael; Rioual, Fanny; Moullec, Fabien; Aguirre Velarde, Arturo; Peck, Myron A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) represents the largest single-species fishery worldwide. Knowledge on how temperature and prey availability influences growth and age estimation during marine fish early life stages is ...
