Dancing around the pole: holarctic phylogeography of the Arctic fairy shrimp Branchinecta paludosa (Anostraca, Branchiopoda)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The distributional patterns of Arctic species are commonly affected by the recurring Pleistocene glaciations, which contributed to transient or permanent genetic isolation. Here we explore the phylogeography of the ... -
Dark N2 fixation: nifH expression in the redoxcline of the Black Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Fixed nitrogen is a limiting nutrient in many marine environments. Only a subset of the microbial community has the ability to fix dinitrogen gas (N2). Here, we document the transcription of nitrogenase reductase subunit ... -
Dead or alive — Old empty shells do not prompt false-positive results in environmental DNA surveys targeting the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental DNA (eDNA) from water samples is increasingly used to detect the presence and distribution of species in aquatic ecosystems. However, before implementing eDNA in monitoring programmes, various species-specific ... -
A Decade of Incorporating Social Sciences in the Integrated Marine Biosphere Research Project (IMBeR): Much Done, Much to Do?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Successful management and mitigation of marine challenges depends on cooperation and knowledge sharing which often occurs across culturally diverse geographic regions. Global ocean science collaboration is therefore essential ... -
Deciphering the Combined Effects of Environmental Stressors on Gene Transcription: A Conceptual Approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The use of classical mixture toxicity models to predict the combined effects of environmental stressors based on toxicogenomics (OMICS) data is still in its infancy. Although several studies have made attempts to implement ... -
Demonstrasjon av anvendelsesområdet for en online partikkelteller i vannforsyningssystemet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Gjennom drikkevannsforskriften er vannverkene pålagt å ha tilstrekkelige hygieniske barrierer for å sikre helsemessig trygt drikkevann til enhver tid ute hos abonnentene. Adekvate overvåkningssystemer er nødvendige for å ... -
Detection of an invasive aquatic plant in natural water bodies using environmental DNA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The ability to detect founding populations of invasive species or rare species with low number of individuals is important for aquatic ecosystem management. Traditional approaches use historical data, knowledge of the ... -
Detection of Transient Denitrification During a High Organic Matter Event in the Black Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)N2 production by denitrification can occur in anoxic water or potentially inside organic particles. Here we compare data from the Black Sea, a permanently anoxic basin, during two organic matter regimes: suspended particulate ... -
Detection of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate and other organophosphorous compounds in Arctic rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The flame-retardant tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (TDBrPP) was in the 1970s banned for uses in textiles that may be in contact with the skin, owing to strong suspicions that the substance was a human carcinogen. The ... -
Determining the risk of calcium oxide (CaO) particle exposure to marine organisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Calcium oxide (CaO) is being considered as a possible treatment for both the control of echinoderm populations and the treatment against sea lice infestation in Norwegian salmon farms. CaO particles produce an exothermal ... -
Detoxifying CO2 capture reclaimer waste by anaerobic digestion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The decrease in toxicity of carbon capture reclaimer monoethanolamine (MEA) waste (MEAw) during anaerobic degradation of such waste together with easily degradable organics was investigated. Samples were collected from a ... -
Detrital carbon production and export in high latitude kelp forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The production and fate of seaweed detritus is a major unknown in the global C-budget. Knowing the quantity of detritus produced, the form it takes (size) and its timing of delivery are key to understanding its role as a ... -
Development and testing of a prototype indicator-based tool for identification of potential problem areas for marine litter in Europe's seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We demonstrate a prototype multi-metric indicator-based assessment tool (i.e. Marine Litter Assessment Tool - MALT) for mapping and identification of ‘problem areas’ and ‘non-problem areas’ regarding the occurrence of ... -
Development of a Bayesian network for probabilistic risk assessment of pesticides
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Conventional environmental risk assessment of chemicals is based on a calculated risk quotient, representing the ratio of exposure to effects of the chemical, in combination with assessment factors to account for uncertainty. ... -
Development of a hybrid Bayesian network model for predicting acute fish toxicity using multiple lines of evidence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A hybrid Bayesian network (BN) was developed for predicting the acute toxicity of chemicals to fish, using data from fish embryo toxicity (FET) testing in combination with other information. This model can support the use ... -
Development of a qPCR assay to detect and quantify ichthyotoxic flagellates along the Norwegian coast, and the first Norwegian record of Fibrocapsa japonica (Raphidophyceae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Blooms of ichthyotoxic microalgae pose a great challenge to the aquaculture industry world-wide, and there is a need for fast and specific methods for their detection and quantification in monitoring programs. In this ... -
Development of species-specific eDNA-based test systems for monitoring of non-indigenous species in Danish marine waters
(NIVA-rapport;7204, Research report, 2018)The MONIS 3 project reports the development of 22 species-specific eDNA-based test systems for monitoring and mapping of the occurrence of non-indigenous species in Danish marine waters. The development has been undertaken ... -

Diel and seasonal movements of the critically endangered European eel
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The critically endangered European eel is declining throughout its range and more information on which to base management plans is necessary. Here we present data collected by electrofishing and PIT telemetry on the habitat ... -
Diel migration pattern of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and sea trout (Salmo trutta) smolts: an assessment of environmental cues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The timing of smolt migration is a key phenological trait with profound implications for individual survival during both river descent and the subsequent sea sojourn of anadromous fish. We studied relationships between the ...
