Hva er egentlig størrelsen på et gevir? – Gevirene har komplekse og varierende størrelser. Det er ikke åpenbart at lengde eller bredde kan sammenliknes på tvers av arter fordi de kan ha ulik utforming, sier Thomas Hansen @biovitenskap.bsky.social @unioslo-cees.bsky.social Les hele saken i #Titan

New article reviews historical approaches to early-life microbiome acquisition and proposes a new framework based on "what, where, who, and when" to improve understanding and guide disease prevention strategies.

Check out our new preprint: the high quality genome of Glacial lanternfish showes that it can do well without MHC I and II function - breaking the immunological rules. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Regjeringen gir 1 milliard kroner til polarforskning og forskningsprosjektet #Polarhavet2050, hvor Universitetet i Oslo er én av fjorten partnere. Dette blir spennende! @jentoft.bsky.social

Disse endringene gjør skreien mer sårbar for ytterligere påvirkning og kan trolig knyttes til endringer i vandringsmønsteret til torsken i senere tid. Mao ja, vi påvirker våre fiskebestander kanskje mer enn vi aner …

I flere tiår har det vært debattert om vi mennesker påvirker genene til bestandene vi høster. I ett nytt studie - hvor vi har fått tilgang på over hundre år gamle prøver av skrei samlet inn i Lofoten - avdekker nettopp dette!! For mere info se: www.titan.uio.no/naturvitensk...

Do ectotherms age more strongly in warm environments? And if so, does it mean reduced fitness and population viability in a warmer world? We investigated these questions in a recent study based on an experiment with Daphnia magna (1/7) @t-ergon.bsky.social @biovitenskap.bsky.social

– Jeg hadde aldri drømt om at vi skulle finne så mange arter fra så lang tid tilbake, sier Sanne Boessenkool til NRK. Hun er professor ved @biovitenskap.bsky.social Eksempler på arter som er funnet i grotten er Arktisk lemen, fjellrev, torsk, hvalross, grønlandshval, lundefugl og fjellrype.
