• A comparison of nonlinear mixed models and response to selection of tick-infestation on lambs 

      Sae-Lim, Panya; Grøva, Lise; Olesen, Ingrid; Varona, Luis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Tick-borne fever (TBF) is stated as one of the main disease challenges in Norwegian sheep farming during the grazing season. TBF is caused by the bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum that is transmitted by the tick Ixodes ...
    • Bioinformatic characterisation of the effector repertoire of the strawberry pathogen Phytophthora cactorum 

      Armitage, Andrew D.; Lysøe, Erik; Nellist, Charlotte F.; Lewis, Laura A.; Cano, Liliana M.; Harrison, Richard J.; Brurberg, May Bente (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-02)
      The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora cactorum causes crown rot, a major disease of cultivated strawberry. We report the draft genome of P. cactorum isolate 10300, isolated from symptomatic Fragaria x ananassa tissue. Our ...
    • Conifer Stored Resources and Resistance to a Fungus Associated with the Spruce Bark Beetle Ips typographus 

      Lahr, Eleanor C.; Krokene, Paal (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-13)
      Bark beetles and associated fungi are among the greatest natural threats to conifers worldwide. Conifers have potent defenses, but resistance to beetles and fungal pathogens may be reduced if tree stored resources are ...
    • Mapping of quantitative trait loci associated with resistance to net form net blotch (Pyrenophora teres f. teres) in a doubled haploid Norwegian barley population 

      Wonneberger, Ronja; Ficke, Andrea; Lillemo, Morten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Barley net blotch caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres is a major barley disease in Norway. It can cause grain shriveling and yield losses, and resistance in currently grown cultivars is insufficient. In ...
    • Modulation of nutrient composition of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae by feeding seaweed-enriched media 

      Liland, Nina Sylvia; Biancarosa, Irene; Araujo, Pedro; Biemans, Daan; Bruckner, Christian Guido; Waagbø, Rune; Torstensen, Bente Elisabeth; Lock, Erik-Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-24)
      Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae are a promising source of protein and lipid for animal feeds. The nutritional composition of the BSF larvae depend partly on the composition of the feeding medium. The BSF lipid ...
    • Right on track? Performance of satellite telemetry in terrestrial wildlife research 

      Hofman, M.P.G.; Hayward, M.W.; Heim, Morten; Marchand, P.; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Mattisson, Jenny; Urbano, Ferdinando; Heurich, Marco; Mysterud, Atle; Melzheimer, Jörg; Morellet, Nicolas; Voigt, Ulrich; Allen, B.L.; Gehr, B.; Rouco, C.; Ullmann, W.; Holand, Øystein; Jørgensen, Nicolai Hermann; Steinheim, Geir; Cagnacci, Fransesca; Kroeschel, Max; Kaczensky, Petra; Buuveibaatar, Bayarbaatar; Payne, J.C.; Palmegiani, I.; Jerina, K.; Kjellander, P.; Johansson, Ö.; LaPoint, S.; Bayrakcismith, R.; Linnell, John Durrus; Zaccaroni, M.; Jorge, M.L.S.; Oshima, J.E.F.; Songhurst, A.; Fischer, C.; Mc Bride Jr., R.T.; Thompson, J.J.; Streif, S.; Sandfordt, R.; Bonenfant, Christophe; Drouilly, M.; Klapproth, M.; Zinner, D.; Yarnell, R.; Stronza, A.; Wilmott, L.; Meisingset, Erling L.; Thaker, M.; Vanak, A.T.; Odden, John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-09)
      Satellite telemetry is an increasingly utilized technology in wildlife research, and current devices can track individual animal movements at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions. However, as we enter the golden ...
    • Trees Wanted—Dead or Alive! Host Selection and Population Dynamics in Tree-Killing Bark Beetles 

      Kausrud, Kyrre Linné; Grégoire, Jean-Claude; Skarpaas, Olav; Erbilgin, Nadir; Gilbert, Marius; Økland, Bjørn; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-25)
      Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) feed and breed in dead or severely weakened host trees. When their population densities are high, some species aggregate on healthy host trees so that their defences may ...
