Foraging ecology of bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) and its effects on the benthic community in the Arctic

During the next 3 years, we will perform a series of investigations to explore the dynamics of bearded seal foraging and the effects of these activities on benthic communities of the Arctic. We will: 1) complete data collection from our captive bearded se al experiments in one final set of trials...

3 - Effects of produced water to Atlantic cod: Mechanistic studies and biomarker development with proteomics based methods.

Effects of contaminants on an organism start at the molecular level, and are transferred to higher levels of biological organization if the exposure is persistent and toxicological repair is overwhelmed. Long-term effects of produced water on the reproduc tion of Atlantic cod can therefore be stu...

Taxonomy and phyleogeography of deep-water calcareous sponges (Porifera, Calcarea) in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.Postdr./Utenl.s

We propose to combine traditional taxonomy based on detailed morphological analyses with molecular methods to investigate the N Atlantic and Arctic deep-sea calcareous sponges (Porifera, Calcarea). Unfortunately Calcarea offer very few morphological characters for reliable (informative) phylogene...
