1. Microbially induced concrete degradation in subsea tunnels - Community structure of biofilms from sprayed reinforced concrete in the Oslofjord tunnel
Abstract : Microbially induced concrete deterioration has been discovered in several Norwegian subsea tunnels with significant disintegration of the calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and steel fibre corrosion in areas with leakages of saline groundwater. Complex microbial biofilm activity together with abiotic attack from saline ground water, with high concentrations of Cl−, SO42−, Mg2+ and HCO3−, are responsible for the degradation in the specific subsea tunnel environment.

2. Phylogeny and species delimitation in Roccellaceae and Physciaceae (Euascomycetes)
Abstract : DNA sequence data (the ITS region and Group I Introns) from the nuclear ribosomal repeat (rDNA), partial β-tubulin gene sequences, RAPD markers, and some morphological characters were analysed phylogenetically in order to examine relationships in lichenized Euascomycetes, from the species level to higher taxonomic levels. The species level studies comprise some so-called species pairs in two families, Roccellaceae (Arthoniales) and Physciaceae (Lecanorales). READ MORE

3. Determinants of genomic diversity in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)
Abstract : Individuals vary from each other in their genetic content. Genetic diversity is at the core of the evolutionary theory. Rooted in a solid theoretical framework developed as early as the 1930s, current empirical observations of genomic diversity became possible due to technological advances. READ MORE

4. Phylogenomic Analysis of Vertebrate Evolution
Abstract : The field of phylogenomics has emerged during the last five years, as the number of fully or partially sequenced genomes has increased rapidly. Using whole genomes for phylogenetic studies greatly increases the accuracy of the trees determined, and can potentially resolve phylogenetic questions that could not be resolved bu studies using only a few gene sequences.

5. Diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites : Host specificity, genetic structure and infection patterns
Abstract : Parasites live on or inside their hosts and usually cause fitness loss, sometimes even lead to outbreaks of emerging infectious disease. Understanding how a parasite can infect its hosts (i.e., host specificity of the parasite) is important to both basic studies on disease evolution and the whole ecosystem health. READ MORE
