Development of genetic markers for population biology studies of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus L)

The Northeast Atlantic Mackerel supports one of the most valuable European fisheries producing up to 700000 tonnes per year. Historically the Northeast Atlantic mackerel stock has been split into three spawning components, a western, a southern and a Nort h Sea component. Prior studies have demo...

LAND: Towards sustainable management of moose, red deer and their food resources

The density of moose and red deer has increased dramatically in Norway during the last three decades. In general, large herbivores can have profound impact on ecosystem structure and processes (e.g. succession, biodiversity), which is mainly mediated by b rowsing/grazing impacts on plants. In tur...

FECIMOD - Forecasting ecological effects of climate change: integrating functional and correlative models

The demand for ecological forecasting is growing, but present models have severe limitations. Uncertainties derive from unrealistic model assumptions as well as the intrinsic stochasticity of natural processes. The proposed project will answer to these ch allenges by merging hypothesis testing of...

Paleoecological reconstructions of marine soft-bottom Ecologic Status and in situ reference conditions

The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires that assessments of aquatic ecological status are based on comparison with reference (background) conditions. Soft-bottom invertebrates represent one of the biological quality elements on which the ass essments will be based. To date, no monit...

The Role of Seeds in a Changing Climate - Linking Germination Ecophysiology to Population and Community Ecology

Rekruttering fra frø (frøspiring og frøplantenes overlevelse) er en nøkkelprosess i plantenes livshistorie med konsekvenser for artenes utbredelse, evolusjon, og overlevelse. Både frøenes økologiske rolle og deres klimarespons best forstås ved å sette dette livshistoriestadiet inn i en større sam...

Regulatory networks in plants: The role of dually targeted transcription factors for the development of cells and organisms

Transcription factors are responsible for the translation of the genetic information into proteins and are therefore key molecules in any cell. In plant cells the genetic information is divided into three sub-genomes (nuclear, plastid, mitochondrial) that are dependent on each other. The recent ...

KelpPredict: Kelp community structure and function; analysing interactions and developing models along multiple exposure gradients

The Laminaria hyperborea kelp forests and its associated biodiversity are under pressure by kelp trawling, grazing by sea urchins, changing climate (storms) and pollutions (eutrophication). These pressures are related to exposure gradients, e.g. sea urchi n grazing is found in the more sheltered ...

Habitat restoration in overgrazed areas on the northern Norwegian coast

The principal objective is to test the hypotheses that former kelp forests that were grazed by sea urchins can be restored by artificially re-introduce three-dimensional habitats. This may promote colonisation of sea urchin predators that may reduce recru itment of sea urchin populations and indu...
