• The first detection of the fungal pathogen batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Norway with no evidence of population declines for great crested and smooth newts based on modeling on traditional trapping data 

  Taugbøl, Annette; Bærum, Kim Magnus; Dervo, Børre; Fossøy, Frode (Peer reviewed, 2021)

  The pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) causes chytridiomycosis in amphibians across the world, often leading to population declines and species extinctions. Here, we present the first detection of Bd in ...

  Sejr, Mikael K.; Poste, Amanda Elizabeth; Renaud, Paul Eric (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  The impacts of climate change on Arctic marine systems are noticeable within the scientific “lifetime” of mostresearchers and the iconic image of a polar bear struggling to stay on top of a melting ice floe captures many ...

• Comparing eDNA and eRNA Sampling Methodologies From Pond Environments 

  Janik-Superson, Katarzyna; Krawczyk, Dawid; Baranowska, Monika; Królikowska, Klaudyna; Seweryn, Michał; Lach, Jakub; Tończyk, Grzegorz; Strapagiel, Dominik; Bącela-Spychalska, Karolina; Taugbøl, Annette (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)

  Molecular traces are increasingly being applied to assess the presence of species and communities. Studies on environmental DNA (eDNA) have, to a large extent, become common practice in species detection, but less studies ...

• Broad-Scale Meta-Analysis of Drivers Mediating Adverse Impacts of Flow Regulation on Riparian Vegetation
