Predation mortality from ambush and cruising predators on newly-settled 0-group gadoids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We investigated predation from an ambush predator (shorthorn sculpin) and two cruising predators (Atlantic cod and saithe) on bottom-settled 0-group cod and saithe juveniles in a fjord in northern Norway. Stomach contents ... -
Predation of Atlantic salmon across ontogenetic stages and impacts on populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Managers and stakeholders increasingly ask whether predation is a driving force behind the poor status of many species, and whether predator control is likely to be a successful management action to intervene. We review ... -
Predation risk alters life history strategies in an oceanic copepod
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The ubiquitous oceanic copepod Calanus finmarchicus is the major link between primary producers and important fish stocks in the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. Despite over a century of research on growth and ... -
Predators of the destructive sea urchin grazer Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis on the Norwegian coast
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)In central Norway, populations of the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droe-bachiensis are collapsing, but the factors controlling its population density have not yet been elucidated. Through field sampling, we identified ... -
Predicting Environmental Risks of Pharmaceuticals from Wholesale Data: An Example from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Environmental risk assessment (ERA) of pharmaceuticals relies on available measured environmental concentrations, but often such data are sparse. Predicted environmental concentrations (PECs), calculated from sales weights, ... -
Predicting Lake Quality for the Next Generation: Impacts of Catchment Management and Climatic Factors in a Probabilistic Model Framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Lake ecosystems across the world are under combined pressures of eutrophication and climate change, which increase the risk of harmful cyanobacteria blooms, reduced ecological status, and degraded ecosystem services. In ... -
Predicting the nationwide outmigration timing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts along 12 degrees of latitude in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aim Accurate predictions about transition timing of salmon smolts between freshwater and marine environments are key to effective management. We aimed to use available data on Atlantic salmon smolt migration to predict the ... -
Prediction of Extraordinarily High Floods Emerging From Heterogeneous Flow Generation Processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)River floods are generated by various processes that, if disregarded, may induce errors in flood hazard assessment. This is particularly relevant where events extraordinarily larger than the typical floods have been observed, ... -
Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants in Northern Tanzania and their distribution between breast milk, maternal blood, placenta and cord blood
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begins during pregnancy and may cause adverse health effects in the fetus or later in life. The present study aimed to assess prenatal POPs exposure to Tanzanian infants ... -
Preying on seals pushes killer whales from Norway above pollution effects thresholds
(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 ... -
Primary hepatocytes from Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) as a relevant Arctic in vitro model for screening contaminants and environmental extracts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Contaminants find their way to the Arctic through long-range atmospheric transport, transport via ocean currents, and through increased anthropogenic activity. Some of the typical pollutants reaching the Arctic (PAHs, PCBs) ... -
Prioriteringsverktøy for vurdering av forurensingsbelastning fra urenset tunnelvaskevann
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Vegtunneler må vaskes for å bevare tunnelens utstyr, sikt- og lysforhold. Vannet som produseres ved vask, tunnelvaskevann, slippes ut av tunnelen enten via grøfter eller drenssystem. Studier har vist at tunnelvaskevann ... -
Prioritisation of water pollutants: the EU Project SOLUTIONS proposes a methodological framework for the integration of mixture risk assessments into prioritisation procedures under the European Water Framework Directive
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Current prioritisation procedures under the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) do not account for risks from chemical mixtures. SOLUTIONS proposes a multiple-lines-of-evidence approach to tackle the problem effectively. ... -
Proactive avoidance behaviour and pace-of-life syndrome in Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Individuals in a fish population differ in key life-history traits such as growth rate and body size. This raises the question of whether such traits cluster along a fast-slow growth continuum according to a pace-of-life ... -
Probabilistic risk assessment of pesticides under future agricultural and climate scenarios using a bayesian network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The use of Bayesian networks (BN) for environmental risk assessment has increased in recent years as they offer a more transparent way to characterize risk and evaluate uncertainty than the traditional risk assessment ... -
Probing the Rare Biosphere of the North-West Mediterranean Sea: An Experiment with High Sequencing Effort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)High-throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques have suggested the existence of a wealth of species with very low relative abundance: the rare biosphere. We attempted to exhaustively map this rare biosphere in two water samples ... -
Proceed with caution: The need to raise the publication bar for microplastics research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plastic is a ubiquitous contaminant of the Anthropocene. The highly diverse nature of microplastic pollution means it is not a single contaminant, but a suite of chemicals that include a range of polymers, particle sizes, ... -
Profiling of the embryonic Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.) transcriptome reveals maternal transcripts as potential markers of embryo quality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Projecting the impacts of the bioeconomy on Nordic land use and freshwater quality and quantity – An overview
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This paper synthesizes a five-year project (BIOWATER) that assessed the effects of a developing bioeconomy on Nordic freshwaters. We used a catchment perspective and combined several approaches: comparative analyses of ... -
Promoting Curiosity? Possibilities and Pitfalls in Science Education
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Curiosity is a wonder of the human mind. It goes to the heart of modernity, as a driving force for learning, novel insights, and innovation, both for individuals and communities. In societies dependent on science and ...
