Salmon lice as models for understanding life history evolution of parasites

Salmon lice represent an important problem both in relation to fish farming and to the conservation of wild salmonids. It is now estimated that at least 95 % of all salmon lice eggs in the sea come from farmed fish. The majority of salmon lice have ther efore changed their resource base from wi...

Effects of oil compounds and persistent organic pollution (POP) on the phospholipid composition and membrane fluidity in Atlantic cod.

The aim of this project is to investigate the mechanisms behind the changes in phospholipid composition that have been observed in the cell membranes of cod and other fish after exposure to oil compounds. The project will combine studies on wild fish from the North Sea and laboratory fish from e...

Speciation processes in fungi examined through experimental and empirical approaches

Although more than 100.000 fungal species exist, fungi are largely missing in the speciation debate. Speciation theory is based mainly on research on animals and plants and little is known whether fungi conform to general models of speciation. Four differ ent boreal/nemoral wood-decay species com...

Exploiting the plasticity in social life history; physiology of extreme longevity in honeybee diutinus workers

Our studies have documented direct effects of vitellogenin on stress resistance and longevity during summer. However, although vitellogenin RNAi in workers living under favorable ambient conditions provides functional insight, it does not directly address the role of vitellogenin in extreme work...

LAND: Ecosystem Finnmark (EcoFinn): Ungulate overabundance, trophic cascades and subsidies

We will use the framework of current food web theory for elucidating two likely cascading ecosystem impacts of reindeer overabundance in Finnmark. One cascade we predict to be induced by loss and fragmentation of riparian willow habitats due to reindeer o verbrowsing, which in turn lead to loss o...
