The real taste of biology
Cnidarians (nessledyr) lack a centralized nervous system but they are able to produce large numbers of neurons throughout their life and in all tissues. How these neurons find other cells to which they connect, is not known. To understand this process better, we have generated transgenic sea anemones in which actin filaments, microtubules or the Read More …
Er du interessert i en morsom og aktiv dag ute på Lygra, og har ikke noe imot å bli litt skitten på hendene? Vi trenger snarest hjelp til å rydde opp i det skadede feltforsøket vårt etter at en kontrollert brenning ble tatt av vinden og ødela forsøksoppsettet. Vi skal rydde området og klargjøre det Read More …
In our lab we use Drosophila melanogaster to model several types of cancer with the hopes of finding new molecular pathways that can be targeted in cancer therapy. This generates a huge amount of data, some of which needs impartial analysis, which is where you could help! Read More …
Project description Cnidarians (nessledyr) have an amazing capacity to regenerate missing body parts or specific types of cells. We use a genetic system for the ablation of nerve cells to understand how the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis regenerates its nervous system. In this project we aim to adapt this system for use in animals of Read More …
Project description A focus of our group has been the study of Stit, Drosophila RET, its role in cell migration and novel observations made by the lab earlier1. We use Drosophila melanogaster, where we can overexpress and/or knock down a gene of interest in a specific area within an epithelial tissue using the GAL4/UAS expression Read More …
Often when we characterize plant growth and development, we focus on the above-ground, but less-so on the below-ground. Join us in exploring the blow-ground world! Read More …
With the encroachment of the arctic, we are seeing a drastic change in once stable carbon systems, moving into a positive feedback loop causing worsening of our climate. Come join us in our journey to understand this cycle! Read More …
Vil du vere med å forstå effekten av ekstremtørke på spiring av Røsslyng? Bli med oss! Read More …
Would you like to learn more about how plants strategically allocate their carbon resources across climatic gradients? Read More …
Would you like to be involved in a project studying how birds and invertebrates interact amidst climate and habitat change? We need help collecting and processing key invertebrates in birds’ trophic network, including tree-dwelling prey insects and nest-dwelling ectoparasites. There even might be occasional opportunities to assist with bird nest monitoring! Read More …
What functions do various species of pollinators serve in contributing to pollination services within Norwegian apple orchards? This project offers an opportunity to gain hands-on field experience in pollination ecology (spring 2024). Read More …
How much carbon can heathland ecosystems reabsorbe? In this project you will get both field and lab experience. Read More …
We are investigating underground biomass, decomposition and respiration in alpine grasslands, in context of grazing and climate change. We need help digging out tea bags, root cores and measuring carbon flux. It is fun manual work in a stunning landscape with some interesting homemade setups. Read More …
Improve your vegetation skills while working in a beautiful alpine grassland! Project INCLINE is looking for someone who is eager to learn about alpine ecology and experience a week of field work with a fantastic team. Read More …
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 …
