Old images give new insight on climate changes

When studying climate change, it is often a problem that reliable, comparable data go back just a few decades. Long time series are in high demand, especially when it comes to the Earth’s cryosphere, consisting of glaciers, ice and frozen ground.

Norwegian evolutionary biologists pushed the frontiers in international science

The Norwegian-based biology research centre CEES has made a lot of discoveries and pushed the frontiers in international science. The driving force behind CEES from start has been Professor Nils Chr. Stenseth, who is now stepping down as centre chair.

Has parental care led to the evolution of bigger brains in mammals and birds?

Mammals and birds have bigger brains than fish, amphibians and reptiles, and as a result are allegedly more intelligent. But by which mechanisms did this occur? Now an international team of researchers, led by UiO, might have the answer.
