Faglige kompetanseområder

Forskning på fjordenes utvikling etter siste istid, med fokus på mikrofossiler (radiolarier). Deltatt på tokt i Nord-Atlanteren, dyphavsboring, for analyser av radiolarienes forekomst og som temperatur indikator (klimautvikling de siste ca 3 mill år), samt til Norskehavet hvor formålet var å etablere en biostratigrafi som gjenspeiler viktige hendelser i Norskehavets 56 mill års utviklingshistorie og oppstart av den nordlige halvkules nedisning.

I løpet av de senere år er det utarbeidet en radiolariekatalog, under ledelse av og i samarbeid med Dr. Jane K. Dolven. Denne katalogen er i kontinuerlig utvikling og omtaler de viktigste radiolariene i Norskehavet, Californiagulfen og Nordishavet. Katalogen blir stadig utvidet og er valgt som nettsted for International Association of Radiolarian Paleontologists, hvor både levende og fossile radiolarier vil bli omtalt. For tiden er over 500 radiolariearter med i katalogen som omhandler artenes beskrivelser, illustrasjoner, utbredelse, synonymer og litteraturreferanser.

Vis sammendrag
The innovation of the eukaryote cytoskeleton enabled phagocytosis, intracellular transport and cytokinesis, and is responsible for the diversity of eukaryotic morphologies. Still, the relationship between phenotypic innovations in the cytoskeleton and their underlying genotype is poorly understood. To explore the genetic mechanism of morphological evolution of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton we provide the first single cell transcriptomes from uncultured, free-living unicellular eukaryotes: the polycystine radiolarian Lithomelissa setosa (Nassellaria) and Sticholonche zanclea (Taxopodida). A phylogenomic approach using 255 genes finds Radiolaria and Foraminifera as separate monophyletic groups (together as Retaria), while Cercozoa is shown to be paraphyletic. Analysis of the genetic components of the cytoskeleton and mapping of the evolution of these to the revised phylogeny of Rhizaria reveal lineage-specific gene duplications and neofunctionalization of α and β tubulin in Retaria, actin in Retaria and Endomyxa, and Arp2/3 complex genes in Chlorarachniophyta. We show how genetic innovations have shaped cytoskeletal structures in Rhizaria, and how single cell transcriptomics can be applied for resolving deep phylogenies and studying gene evolution in uncultured protist species.

We have isolated cells of unculturable radiolarians from marine coastal waters. Individual cells were subjected to single cell whole genome amplification (SCWGA) and gene-targeted PCR. Using this approach we recover a surprisingly large diversity of sequences related to the enigmatic marine alveolate groups 1 and 2 (MALV I and MALV II) that most likely represent intracellular symbionts or parasites of the radiolarian cells. 18S rDNA phylogeny of the MALV sequences reveals 4 distinct clades of radiolarian associates here named Radiolarian Associated Sequences (RAS) 1-4. One clade of both phaeodarian and radiolarian associates and one clade of only phaeodarian associates are also identified. The MALV sequences cluster according to host type, i.e. sequences from associates identified in radiolarians, fish, copepods, ciliates or dinoflagellates are not intermixed but separated into distinct clades. This implies several independent colonizations of host lineages and links a large diversity of MALV to radiolarian-associated species. This demonstrates that radiolarians may be an important reservoir for MALV, making them a key group for understanding the impact of intracellular symbionts on the marine ecosystem. This study shows that applying SCWGA on unculturable cells is a promising approach to study the vast diversity and interactions of intracellular eukaryote organisms.

Radiolarians are marine planktonic protists that belong to the eukaryote supergroup Rhizaria together with Foraminifera and Cercozoa. Radiolaria has traditionally been divided into four main groups based on morphological characters; i.e. Polycystina, Acantharia, Nassellaria and Phaeodaria. But recent 18S rDNA phylogenies have shown that Phaeodaria belongs within Cerocozoa, and that the previously heliozoan group Taxopodida should be included in Radiolaria. 18S rDNA phylogenies have not yet resolved the sister relationship between the main Radiolaria groups, but nevertheless suggests that Spumellaria, and thereby also Polycystina, are polyphyletic. Very few sequences other than 18S rDNA have so far been generated from radiolarian cells, mostly due to the fact that Radiolaria has been impossible to cultivate and single cell PCR has been hampered by low success rate. Here we have therefore investigated the mutual evolutionary relationship of the main radiolarian groups by using the novel approach of combining single cell whole genome amplification with targeted PCR amplification of the 18S and 28S rDNA genes. Combined 18S and 28S phylogeny of sequences obtained from single cells shows that Radiolaria is divided into two main lineages: Polycystina (Spumellaria+Nassellaria) and Spasmaria (Acantharia+Taxopodida). Further we show with high support that Foraminifera groups within Radiolaria supporting the Retaria hypothesis.

Seven species of polycystine radiolarians and one phaeodarian species were investigated in order to determine the diversity of their associate organisms and their species specificity. Twelve partial 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences were obtained showing a high diversity of associates, both within spumellarian and nassellarian radiolarians and among species. Two of the sequences obtained are highly similar to Scrippsiella, a dinoflagellate genus already reported as a symbiont of polycystine radiolarians. Nine of the new 18S rDNA sequences group with various alveolates. Some of these groups include parasites, such as the lethal endoparasite Amoebophrya, while others consist of non-annotated novel organisms found worldwide in various types of marine environments. We also obtained a sequence from a bacillariophytan highly similar to the 18S rDNA of the diatom species Diatoma tenue, which may derive from radiolarian food. Additionally, this is the first study to report on a phaeodarian associate.

ABSTRACT The polycystine radiolarian faunas in the Arctic Ocean, including the adjacent Arctic seas, have been studied in more than 377 surface samples. The deep basins in the Arctic Ocean have revealed 31 polycystine radiolarian species (11 spumellarians and 20 nassellarians). The polycystine radiolarian fauna in the southern Norwegian Sea was introduced from the north Atlantic Ocean ca. 13.400 yrs. B.P. The shallow low arctic marginal sea sediments (Iceland, Barents, and Chukchi Seas) have a strong dominance of Cannobotryidae (79 %, 77 % and 74 % respectively), while the deep Arctic Ocean basins (Nansen, Amundsen, and Makarov Basins) have a dominance of Actinommidae (90 %, 70 %, and 75 %, respectively). The Arctic polycystine radiolarian faunas have a strong affinity with the Norwegian Sea fauna, which supplies the Arctic Ocean with faunal elements that can live, thrive and reproduce there. In the Chukchi Sea the Pacific faunal influence is obvious (41 species), but none of the Pacific species are found in any abundance in the Amerasian Basin. No radiolarian species was found to be endemic to the Arctic Ocean except for a morphotype of Actinomma l. leptoderma, with a round inner sphere, is a possible endemic candidate for the Arctic Ocean. Eight species are found in all of the Central Arctic Basins, and can therefore be referred to as circumpolar species: Actinomma leptoderma leptoderma, A. l. leptoderma (with round middle sphere), A. l. longispina, A. boreale, Spongotrochus glacialis, P. platycephalus, Cycladophora davisiana, and Tholospyris(?) gephyristes, while Amphimelissa setosa probably is the only true arctic radiolarian species.

Polycystine radiolarians are used to reconstruct summer sea surface temperatures (SSST) for the Late Pleistocene-Holocene (600-13,400 14C yrs. BP) in the Norwegian Sea. At 13,200 14C yrs. BP, SSST was close to the average Holocene SSST (~12C). It then gradually dropped to 7.1C in the Younger Dryas. Near the Younger Dryas-Holocene transition (~10,000 14C years BP), SSST increased 5C in about 530 years. Four abrupt cooling events, with temperature drops of up to 2.1C, are recognized during the Holocene: at 9,340, 7,100 (¿8,200 calendar yrs. event¿), 6,400 and 1,650 14C yrs. BP. Radiolarian SSSTs and the isotopic signal from the GISP2 ice core are strongly coupled, stressing the importance of the Norwegian Sea as a mediator of heat/precipitation exchange between the North Atlantic, the atmosphere, and the Greenland ice sheet. Radiolarian and diatom derived SSST display similarities, with the former not showing the recently reported Holocene cooling trend.

60 radiolarian species (14 Spumellaria and 44 Nassellaria) have been identified in the surface layer of the bottom sediments of the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas. By comparing the radiolarian species lists from the Norwegian Sea, Okhotsk Sea, Bering Sea and the North Pacific it is possible to conclude that in the Arctic Ocean 48 species are common with the Norwegian Sea fauna, 52 with fauna of Okhotsk Sea and 56 are also distributed in the North Pacific. It was established, that the most diverse fauna was obtained in the area of the Fram strait (42 species) and in the Chukchi Sea (40 species). Both regions are probably areas of expatriation of the Norwegian Sea and Pacific Ocean faunas, respectively, because radiolarian species (and specimens) were found only in low numbers elsewhere in the Arctic Ocean. The radiolarian fauna of the Arctic Ocean is a derivative of the Atlantic fauna. The radiolarian species composition in the Arctic Ocean indicates that radiolarian fauna elements also migrate from the Pacific Ocean. However, the most abundant and widely distributed species of the Pacific assemblages are not found in the Chukchi Sea. 26 radiolarian species have been found in the deposits of the central Arctic Ocean basins, but only 8 species have a circumpolar distribution. The number of nassellarian species are 2-5 times higher than the number of spumellarian species, but the abundance of spumellarian skeletons are many times (4-38) higher, than for the nassellarian skeletons. However, in the bottom sediments of the marginal seas the abundance of nassellarian skeletons exceeds many times the number of spumellarian skeletons. No endemic radiolarian species are present in the Arctic Ocean. The structure of the Arctic Ocean radiolarian associations are the same as in the closed and semiclosed epicontinental seas. Here there is a rather low species diversity and a high level of dominance of single species. Furthermore, the high rank taxa associations are characteristic for the different areas.
