Insektdød i Norge? Hvordan har nattsommerfugler varier over de siste 15 år
Vi opplever en stor nedgang i antall insekter i verden, men det er ofte vanskelig å tallfeste denne nedgangen på en etterrettelig måte. Spørsmålet vi stiller i dette prosjektet er om vi ser samme nedgangen for nattsommerfugler i Norge som har blitt observert for insekter i andre deler av verden.… Read more →
Karbonlagring i fjellheimen
Globle endringer er på vei og hvordan de påvirker karbonlagringen i fjellet er fremdeles uvisst! Bli med og hjelp meg med mitt masterprosjekt der jeg skal finne ut av hvor karbonet tar veien når det har kommet inn i økosystemet når de globale endringene er i gang.… Read more →
How does grassland vegetation recover from years of nitrogen additions?
Depositions of ammonia and nitrogen oxides have heavily increased since the mid 1900’s, and nitrogen additions in grasslands have shown to affect grass biomass, soil pH and nutrient availability. But how do these grasslands recover if nitrogen additions stop, and for how long does the added nitrogen stay in the systems?… Read more →
Ekstremtørke i kystlynghei
Kystlynghei er ein trua naturtype som står ovenfor store utfordringar knytt til klimaendringar. Dei siste åra har vi alle fått kjenne på ekstremvær som lengre periodar med tørke, men ein art som virkelig har fått kjenne på det er kystlyngheia si nøkkelart; Røsslyng. Ved å delta på prosjektet så er du med på å finne ut kva vi kan forvente skje langs heile norskekysten dei neste åra som følge av ekstremvær.… Read more →
Investigating the Role of Stress Granules in Ageing and Senescence
The Grellscheid research group aims to expand the understanding of how stress granules interact with other potential partners in senescence (as a model of ageing) and the biological significance of this interaction. As a bioSPIRE student, you will have the opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of molecular biology techniques including, western blotting, qPCR, immunofluorescence, live-imaging, mammalian cell culture, molecular cloning, and genomic editing (CRISPR).… Read more →

Domestic grazing animals as landscape engineers: Effects on biodiversity and ecosystem service provisioning in Nordhordland
How does livestock management impact biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services? How do different grazing regimes on summer dairy farms shape landscape heterogeneity and connectivity and how do they affect pollinator communities?
In this multidisciplinary project we investigate the relationships between human and nature in the scope of developing a sustainable management of land-use and natural resources in the Nordhordland Biosphere area – Norway’s only Biosphere Reserve in UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme. Join us if you want practical experience in common field- and lab-methods in applied ecology and to be a part of an ambitious and enthusiastic team!… Read more →
