How the house sparrows came to be

By investigating the DNA of several species of sparrows, researchers at CEES have shown that the house sparrow diverged from a sparrow in the Middle East – and started to digest starch-rich foods – when humans developed agriculture.

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.

    This past week, 14 international and interdisciplinary early career researchers from all over the world met in the fjord-side town of Drøbak, south of Oslo. The #YoungCEED18 workshop - the first of its kind under the “Young CEED” initiative - aimed for a fresh take on the enigmatic process of how new subduction zones form.

  • greenland-507px Hotspot volcanism on Greenland – A corridor in the North Atlantic forms volcanic landscape Nov. 12, 2018 10:03 PM

    Volcanic activity primarily focuses at plate boundaries on Earth. But volcanoes can also form far away from plate boundaries due to plumes of hot material rising from the Earth’s deep interior. Eventually this material reaches the surface and breaks through the Earth’s crust to form a volcano – a so-called “hotspot”. Scientists now present a theory of how this type of hotspot activity can explain massive, past volcanic eruptions in Greenland and in the North Atlantic region.

  • alessiob Publication: open source animal tracking and closed-loop stimulation Oct. 23, 2018 2:50 PM

    Expanding the Open Ephys system to include animal tracking and behavior-based closed-loop stimulation extends the availability of high-quality, low-cost experimental setup within standardized data formats.
