Coastal restoration success via emergent trait-mimicry is context dependent
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Coastal ecosystems provide vital ecosystem functions and services, but have been rapidly degrading due to human impacts. Restoration is increasingly considered key to reversing these losses, but is often unsuccessful. ... -
Cold-tolerant traits that favour northwards movement and establishment of Mediterranean and Ponto-Caspian alien aquatic invertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Over recent decades, many Mediterranean and Ponto-Caspian aquatic invertebrate species have dispersed northwards and established as non-native species in colder regions. We hypothesized that these species have cold-tolerant ... -
Combined and interactive effects of global climate change and toxicants on populations and communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Increased temperature and other environmental effects of global climate change (GCC) have documented impacts on many species (e.g., polar bears, amphibians, coral reefs) as well as on ecosystem processes and species ... -
Combined effects of human pressures on Europe’s marine ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine ecosystems are under high demand for human use, giving concerns about how pressures from human activities may affect their structure, function, and status. In Europe, recent developments in mapping of marine habitats ... -
Combined effects of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, biocides and organic contaminants on the growth of Skeletonema pseudocostatum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Organisms in the environment are exposed to a number of pollutants from different compound groups. Inaddition to the classic pollutants like the polychlorinated biphenyls, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),alkylphenols, ... -
Combined membrane filtration and 265 nm UV irradiation for effective removal of cell free antibiotic resistance genes from feed water and concentrate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The removal of cell free DNA (plasmids) carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) was investigated at bench-scale using ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes commonly applied in ... -
Combining a Deconvolution and a Universal Library Search Algorithm for the Nontarget Analysis of Data-Independent Acquisition Mode Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Results
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Nontarget analysis is considered one of the most comprehensive tools for the identification of unknown compounds in a complex sample analyzed via liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS). ... -
Combining modeling with novel field observations yields new insights into wintertime food limitation of larval fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recruitment success of marine fishes is generally considered to be highly dependent on larval growth and survival. In temperate ecosystems, fish larvae are sensitive to food limitation during the low productivity seasons, ... -
Common eider and herring gull as contaminant indicators of different ecological niches of an urban fjord system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Seabirds like gulls are common indicators in contaminant monitoring. The herring gull (Larus argentatus) is a generalist with a broad range of dietary sources, possibly introducing a weakness in its representativeness of ... -
Community structure of deep fjord and shelf benthic fauna receiving different detrital kelp inputs in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Kelp forests produce large amounts of macroalgal detritus, ranging from whole plants to small particles (1 mm). The role of this kelp detritus in fueling deep-sea communities adjacent to healthy kelp forests was investigated ... -
Comparative measurement and quantitative risk assessment of alcohol consumption through wastewater-based epidemiology: An international study in 20 cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Quantitative measurement of drug consumption biomarkers in wastewater can provide objective information on community drug use patterns and trends. This study presents the measurement of alcohol consumption in 20 cities ... -
A comparative study of macroinvertebrate biodiversity in highway stormwater ponds and natural ponds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The use of stormwater ponds along the highways is shown to be an effective alternative to conventional systems, which are usually sewers. These ponds have the potential to combine their primary function of pollution and ... -
Comparing DADA2 and OTU clustering approaches in studying the bacterial communities of atopic dermatitis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is not yet fully understood, but the bacterial composition of AD patients’ skin has been shown to have an increased abundance of Staphylococcus aureus. More recently, ... -
Comparing effects of microplastic exposure, FPOM resource quality, and consumer density on the response of a freshwater particle feeder and associated ecosystem processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) is an important basal resource in stream ecosystems for deposit- and filter-feeding macroinvertebrates (collectively ‘particle feeders’). Microplastics (MP) share many characteristics ... -
Comparing flow cytometry and microscopy in the quantification of vital aquatic organisms in ballast water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The ability to quantify vital aquatic organisms in the 2–50 µm size range was compared between five different flow cytometers and several different microscopes. Counts of calibration beads, algal monocultures of different ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The ability to quantify vital aquatic organisms in the 2–50 µm size range was compared between five different flow cytometers and several different microscopes. Counts of calibration beads, algal monocultures of different ... -
Comparing in situ turbidity sensor measurements as a proxy for suspended sediments in North-Western European streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change in combination with land use alterations may lead to significant changes in soil erosion and sediment fluxes in streams. Optical turbidity sensors can monitor with high frequency and can be used as a proxy ... -
Comparing three approaches to estimating optimum white water kayak flows in Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Modern water management strategies aim to assess the impact of water regulation alternatives on all relevant ecosystem services, including white water (WW) recreation. Therefore it is important to estimate the ... -
Comparing total and accessible concentrations of hydrophobic organic contaminants in sediments and suspended particulate matter in the Danube River
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) is often assessed based on their concentrations in riverbed sediment and suspended particulate matter (SPM). However, total HOC concentration ... -
