• The evolving story of catadromy in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) 

      Durif, Caroline; Arts, M.; Bertolini, F.; Cresci, Alessandro; Daverat, F.; Karlsbakk, Egil Erlingsson; Koprivnikar, J.; Moland, Even; Olsen, Esben Moland; Parzanini, C.; Power, M.; Rohtla, Mehis; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Browman, Howard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Anguillid eels were once considered to be the classic example of catadromy. However, alternative life cycles have been reported, including skipping the freshwater phase and habitat shifting between fresh, brackish, and ...
    • The planktonic stages of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are tolerant of end-of-century pCO2 concentrations 

      Thompson, Cameron; Fields, David M.; Bjelland, Reidun Marie; Chan, Vera BS; Durif, Caroline; Mount, Andrew; Runge, Jeffrey A.; Shema, Steven; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Browman, Howard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an obligate ectoparasite of salmonids. Salmon lice are major pests in salmon aquaculture and due to its economic impact Lepeophtheirus salmonis is one of the most well studied species ...
    • The relationship between the moon cycle and the orientation of glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) at sea 

      Cresci, Alessandro; Durif, Caroline; Paris, Claire B.; Thompson, Cameron; Shema, Steven; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Browman, Howard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Links between the lunar cycle and the life cycle (migration patterns, locomotor activity, pulses in recruitment) of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) are well documented. In this study, we hypothesized that the orientation ...
    • Timing and pattern of annual silver eel migration in two European watersheds are determined by similar cues 

      Sandlund, Odd Terje; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Poole, Russell; Bergesen, Knut Aanestad; Dillane, Mary; Rogan, Gerard; Durif, Caroline; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Many animals perform long-distance migrations in order to maximize lifetime reproductive success. The European eel migrates several thousand kilometers between their feeding habitats in continental waters (fresh-,brackish, ...
    • Trophic ecology of the european eel (Anguilla anguilla) across different salinity habitats inferred from fatty acid and stable isotope analysis 

      Parzanini, Camilla; Arts, Michael T.; Power, Michael; Rohtla, Mehis; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Koprivnikar, Janet; Browman, Howard; Milotic, Dino; Durif, Caroline (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We combined fatty acid (FA) and stable isotope (SI) analyses to investigate the trophic ecology of different stages of European eels (Anguilla anguilla) across seawater (SW), brackish water (BW), and freshwater (FW) habitats. ...
    • A unifying hypothesis for the spawning migrations of temperate anguillid eels 

      Durif, Caroline; Stockhausen, Hagen; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Cresci, Alessandro; Nyqvist, Daniel; Browman, Howard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Anguillid eels grow in freshwater but spawn in the open ocean. The cues that guide eels over long distances to the spawning area are unknown. The Earth's magnetic field can provide directional and positional information ...
