NCB Vision
To develop an internationally reputed research and training centre to meet the
society’s need for knowledge in taxonomy and biodiversity
NCB Goals
• to investigate the systematics of selected organisms and use them as models to
address basic questions such as: How do species originate? How will
biodiversity be affected by climate change?
• to develop methodology and concepts by interdisciplinary approaches
• to educate new generations and fill the society's need for experts in its
management of biodiversity
• to increase basic knowledge necessary for areas such as genomics, biotechnology,
infectious disease biology, and climate change biology

Short presentation of the NCB
"Without taxonomy to give shape to the bricks, and systematics to tell us how to put
them together, the house of biological science is a meaningless jumble."
Robert May, 1990
Norway: towards a nation of taxonomic illiterates?
Our knowledge of taxonomy is declining. Many people can no longer name the trees
or birds in our forests. But is it not just to consult a book if you need to know the
name of a plant, a mushroom or an insect? Yes, but only if someone first identifies
what species there are out there and writes that book. Unfortunately, taxonomists are
themselves an endangered species, and only a fraction of Norway’s animals, plants
and fungi – our biological resources - are known. The need to strengthen research and
education in taxonomy and biosystematics is urgent.
Taxonomy and biosystematics are the fundament of biology
Defining, recognizing and naming species, as well as understanding their historical
relationships, are essential to biology. All biologists must know which species they
work with. A sound taxonomic and systematic basis is crucial for modern
biotechnology, genomics, infectious disease biology, climate change biology, and for
identifying hotspots of biodiversity for conservation.
National Centre for Biosystematics
NCB - National Centre for Biosystematics - is an interdisciplinary research centre
with core funding from The Research Council of Norway and The Natural History
Museum, University of Oslo. Building on a shared theoretical and methodological
platform, first of all a state-of-the-art molecular laboratory, NCB integrates basic
research and education in the taxonomy and systematics of plants, fungi, and animals.
In our research on selected groups of organisms, we also address general problems in
biology and contribute to the development of biosystematic concepts. Of particular
importance is the merging of expertise in molecular systematics with expertise in
field- and collection-based taxonomy. The natural history collections in the Museum
are the largest in Norway. The NCB activities also contribute to the development of a
DNA bank for the Norwegian biota.
NCB: a centre for education and research
A major goal of the NCB is to educate Master, PhD and postdoctoral candidates in an
interdisciplinary and internationally oriented research environment. The current NCB
staff, in addition to senior scientists and technicians, includes more than 30 students
and research fellows. Several guest researchers and students from foreign institutions
-5-
are also resident members. Collaboration and student exchange with many
international research groups also contributes to the development of a stimulating
research environment.
Different species, similar problems
The NCB scientists work with different organisms, but ask similar questions and use
similar tools to answer them. A main task is to reconstruct phylogeny, ‘the tree of
life’, i.e. to unravel the evolutionary relationships among populations and species.
Phylogenetic relationships are inferred based on morphological and, increasingly,
molecular genetic (DNA) information. However, to infer phylogeny, we must know
which species we are working with. This may seem trivial - but delimitation of
species is a common problem. Here, we present some of the organism groups and
research problems we address in NCB projects.
Arctic-alpine plants: the arctic flora in response to climate changes
How, where, and when was the modern tundra ecosystem formed? From where did
the species come and which migration routes were
followed to reach the present Arctic? We focus on
how the glacial cycles have affected patterns and
processes of migration, molecular diversity and
speciation, and on how to circumscribe and name
northern plant species. A new revision of ‘Lid’s
flora’, the standard Norwegian flora for vascular
plants, was published in 2005. A major
achievement has been the completion of a draft
version of the first consensus checklist for all arctic
countries (‘The Panarctic Flora checklist’).

Insect phylogeny and genome evolution: fungus gnats and cave crickets
Insects are one of the most species-rich classes in the animal kingdom, and many
species are used as model organisms in biology. Nevertheless, many insect groups are
poorly known. We currently work out molecular phylogenies of fungus gnats and
cave crickets. Cave crickets are also useful as models to study processes of genome
evolution. The cave cricket project specifically addresses the mode of evolution of
tandemly repeated non-coding satellite DNA.
Gyrodactylid fish parasites
Several Gyrodactylus species are pathogenic for fish. The most notorious in Norway
is G. salaris, which, in European legislation, is listed as a threat to the Atlantic
salmon. Still, the delimitation and phylogeny of Gyrodactylus species are uncertain.
Host identity has been used for species identification, but some species can infect
-6-
several hosts. We study gyrodactylid systematics, migration history and evolutionary
processes using molecular tools, morphometry, and laboratory experiments on hostparasite biology. The findings contribute to improvement of the salmon disease
management.
Birds: taxonomy, speciation and evolution
Much is already known of the general biology of birds, their taxonomy, distribution
and ecology. Our projects focus on selected questions that can provide new insights to
the current understanding of bird life. Using modern molecular genetic techniques, we
study the diversity and evolution of mating systems, parental sex roles and sexual
dimorphisms. We also investigate genetic structure and population differentiation in a
variety of bird species, in particular arctic waders. We emphasize subspecies
taxonomy, evolutionary processes, migration history and definition of conservation
units.
Phylogeny of brown- and black-spored mushrooms
(supported as NCB pilot project)
Galerina is a large genus of small, brown-spored mushrooms that we recently have
shown to be an unnatural group (polyphyletic). Identification of species is extremely
difficult, even for the trained eye, and former classifications and species concepts are
Figure: NCB model organisms: fungus gnat (above, left), cave crickets (above, right), salmon tail

and Galerina marginata (below, right).

entirely morphology-based. We untangle the Galerina lineages and the family
relationships of these and related agarics using DNA sequence data. The main goal is
to develop a new classification of this group of fungi and to revise species complexes,
based on phylogenetic analyses of multiple genes.
Marine plankton: Radiolaria
(supported as NCB pilot project)
The marine protozoan radiolarians are important constituents of marine ecosystems.
In sediments of the Norwegian Sea, they occur as subfossils and are useful indicators
of climate change. Their classification follows the Haeckelian (1887) system, an
artificial one based mainly on the structure of the central capsule and skeletal
morphology. We reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among radiolarians using
DNA sequencing, and aim to improve higher and lower rank radiolarian taxonomy.
An improved classification system for living radiolarians is also important for our
understanding of subfossil groups.

Some research highlights
New revised edition of the National Flora of Norway – ‘Lid’s flora’
Lid & Lid ‘Norsk Flora’ is the standard flora for vascular plants in Norway and has
been such since 1944. It has been revised about every 10 years and represents a
regular status report on the development of the flora and of the taxonomic knowledge.
The 7. edition appeared in January 2005, after three years of revision work by R.
Elven and collaborators at the museums in Oslo,
Trondheim, and Tromsø, and by several excellent
amateur botanists. The new edition shows the
comparatively large recent changes in the flora and in
taxonomy. One major change is influx and establishment
of aliens, mainly by spread from gardens and by
transport. The aliens now constitute close to 40% (750800 species) of the stable flora of 2100–2200 species.
Another major change is immigration and partly
establishment of new native species, especially in the
south, probably due to climate change. Great changes are
also caused by increased knowledge of plant systematics
obtained through internationally published basic research,
such as revised taxonomies and phylogenies of many
groups.
High biological species diversity in the arctic flora
One of the most surprising and interesting discoveries
made in the arctic plant projects is that what was
believed to be one single species based on morphology,
turned out to comprise numerous biological (cryptic)
species. Many experimental crosses between plants of
Draba (‘rublom’) cultivated in the phytotron resulted in
sterile offspring. Most intriguingly, these cryptic species
have evolved very rapidly, probably during the time of
the major ice ages. The discovery was made by Hanne
H. Grundt as part of her PhD project, and is now under
submitting to Nature. Her findings are followed up by a
PhD student, who will unravel the genetic background
and mechanisms responsible for the speciation events –
the development of reproductive barriers.

Synopsis: The arctic flora is considered to be impoverished, but estimates of species diversity are based
on morphological comparisons, which may not provide accurate counts of biological species. In the
paper we report crossing relationships within three circumarctic Draba species. Intraspecific crosses
within and among different geographic regions (Alaska, Greenland, Svalbard, and Norway) yielded
mostly semisterile or fully sterile F1 hybrids, whereas progeny from intrapopulational crosses were
predominantly fertile. This frequent occurrence of intraspecific crossing barriers is not accompanied
by morphological differentiation, indicating that numerous cryptic biological species have arisen
within each taxonomic species despite their recent (Pleistocene) origin.
Svalbard was invaded by Russians after the ice age
The basis for the ARKTØK project (‘Effects of climate change on ecosystems in
Svalbard: past and future immigration of thermophilous key species’) is that the
expected climate change will be most dramatic in the Arctic. Climate models predict
an increase of the average temperature by 3.0-3.5 °C from 1990 to 2070 in Svalbard.
Thus, species with higher thermal requirements than the current plant species in
Svalbard, such as the mountain tree birch (Betula pubescens), may be able to establish
if their seeds are able to reach the archipelago. The most thermophilous plant species
presently occurring in the archipelago, such as B. nana ('dvergbjørk'), are very rare
today. They probably immigrated during the warm period after the last ice age, some
thousands years ago, when the mean temperature was 1-2 °C higher than today.
- 10 -
In the first part of this project, we use DNA markers to determine the frequency of
past immigrations of thermophilous species to Svalbard and identify their source
areas. The analyses of several species are now more or less complete.
It appears that the Svalbard plants often came from the east after the last ice age, from
areas in northwestern Russia. For example, Dryas octopetala ('reinrose') in Svalbard
is Russian, whereas D. octopetala in the Scandinavian mountains was recruited from
middle Europe. Svalbard’s Vaccinium uliginosum ('blokkebær'), Betula nana
('dvergbjørk'), and Empetrum nigrum ('krekling') are also Russians, although E.
nigrum appears to have taken the long way via East Greenland before colonizing
Svalbard. In contrast, Arabis alpina ('fjellskrinneblom') is most likely a southern
immigrant colonizing Svalbard via Scandinavia.

hermaphroditum, Dryas octopetala and Vaccinium uliginosum.

Sex and diversity in birds
In the bird projects, we have made important progress in the understanding of avian
extrapair mating systems by linking population genetic structure and diversity to the
evolution of inbreeding/outbreeding preferences. A study on blue tits was published in
Nature in 2003 (Johnsen & Lifjeld as coauthors) with evidence of inbreeding
avoidance in the extra-pair mating systems of this species. Outbreeding increases
offspring heterozygosity, and heterozygosity correlates positively with several fitness
parameters. A similar pattern is found in bluethroats. A previous study (Johnsen et al.
2000 in Nature) documented that females enhance offspring immune function through
extra-pair mating. Now we are preparing a manuscript documenting that this fitness
benefit is mediated through outbreeding (heterozygosity) in bluethroats (Fossøy,
Johnsen, Lifjeld).
In contrast to these two species, the North American barn swallow shows inbreeding
preference in extra-pair mating (Kleven’s PhD project). We have developed a new
theory for the evolution of inbreeding preferences based on Hamilton’s theory of kin
selection. The new theory states that mating preference for relatedness will move
along the inbreeding-outbreeding continuum depending on the costs of inbreeding. A
prediction is that the barn swallow should be more genetically variable than the blue
tit and the bluethroat. Empirical support for this prediction has been obtained through
a large-scale sequencing effort (by Thomas Borge) of 10 functional loci in these three
species, revealing a remarkably high SNP frequency on sex-linked genes in the barn
swallow.
The approach of comparing SNP
frequencies at the same loci across
species/populations may prove
useful in other NCB projects as
well. We have also started
sequencing a number of other
species, including dunlins and other
shorebirds (Marthinsen’s &
Wennerberg’s projects) to test their
usefulness in taxonomic and
phylogeographic studies in
comparison with mtDNA markers,
microsatellites and AFLPs.

Organization
Organization
The National Centre for Biosystematics (NCB) was established in January 2002, cofunded as a five-year Strategic University Programme (SUP) by The Research
Council of Norway (RCN) and The Natural History Museum (NHM). The Natural
History Museum contributes more than half of the budget, including several technical
and PhD/postdoc positions. As stated in the original proposal to the Research Council,
the Museum’s intention is to establish the NCB as a permanent research and training
centre, with core funding for the first five years as a Strategic University Programme.
In addition to this core funding, considerable external funding of the NCB is obtained
via other projects headed by the seven NCB senior members.
The NCB is formally organized as a cross-sectional project within the administrative
structure of the Museum, placed directly under the Museum Director, with professor
Christian Brochmann as Centre Leader. Professor Lutz Bachmann acted as Deputy
Leader from 2002 to 2004. Professor Jan T. Lifjeld is the current Deputy Leader. The
other NCB senior members are professor Tor A. Bakke, professor Liv Borgen,
professor Reidar Elven, and associate professor Brita Stedje.
Two international experts, the botanist Bengt Oxelman from Uppsala University and
the zoologist David Rollinson from the Natural History Museum in London, act as
external evaluators of the NCB and participate in yearly progress seminars where all
NCB fellows and students present their projects. Individual progress meetings are
organized 1-2 times a year with each PhD student, with participation of the Museum
Director, the NCB leader and deputy leader, and the supervisors.
NCB staff and students
There are currently 56 active NCB members, including 4 guest researchers, 7
postdocs/research fellows, 18 PhD students, 2 research assistants, and 14 Master
students (per April 2005; see Appendix 1 for details). The number of members has
increased steadily since 2002 (see Table).
After the establishment of the NCB in 2002, one additional postdoc (on birds) and two
additional PhDs have been allocated to the NCB by the Natural History Museum. The
PhDs are one in paleontology (supervised by Felix Gradstein) and one in zoology (on
polar bears; supervised by Øystein Wiig).
The NCB has attracted several guest researchers from abroad, some of them visiting
for long periods on their own funding from their home countries. These include 3
postdocs (Austria and Spain) and one PhD student (Spain) on own funding for a total
- 13 -

of 4.25 years of work at the NCB. In addition, several guests have been funded by the
NCB guest researcher budget (see Appendix 1).

Funding
The NCB core funding via the Strategic University Programme originally amounted
to a total of 36.2 million NOK for the period 2002-2006, of which 13.1 million is
externally funded by the Research Council and 23.1 million is allocated by the host
institution NHM. The host contribution includes several PhDs and technicians and has
later been increased by one additional 3-year postdoc and 2 PhDs. The Museum has
later contracted all externally funded PhD positions for one additional year, so all
current PhDs now have four-year contracts. Additional external funding of other NCB
projects, mainly from the Research Council of Norway and the NUFU programme,
are listed in the Table. The total external funds for the period 2002-2005 amount to 29
million NOK.

International collaboration
There are strong collaborative links between the NCB projects and international
partners in many countries (summarized on the map; details in Appendix 9). The
collaborative activities include mutual research visits of seniors, research fellows and
students, and joint field expeditions and co-publishing.

Plans for the years ahead
The NCB core funding from the Strategic University Programme ends in 2006. A
long-term goal is to develop a new proposal for a Centre of Excellence (CoE; Senter
for fremragende forskning, SFF). At present, there is increasing activity with
development of new research funding proposals, including participation in two large
international networks preparing/resubmitting proposals for the EU Marie Curie
Training Networks (see list below).
The NCB staff has been instrumental during the last years in the development of a
new national plan for basic research in biosystematics in Norway. A national
committee appointed by the Research Council of Norway delivered their report in
May 2005 (‘Grunnforskning i biosystematikk i Norge. En nasjonal plan’ ; headed by
Sigurd Såstad, NTNU, with Tor A. Bakke representing NCB/NHM and Christian
Brochmann and Odd Halvorsen participating in the local sub-committee). The original
initiative towards the Research Council to develop this plan was taken by the
participants on ‘The 2nd NCB seminar: Status and future of biological systematics in
Norway’, which was arranged over two days in October 2002 and attended by 90
participants from all over Norway. This initiative was a follow-up of the
recommendations from the Council’s international evaluation of biological sciences in
- 15 -
Organization
Norway, as well as the report to the Council from ‘Biofagplan-utvalget’ in 2002
(‘Styrking av norsk biofaglig forskning. En oppfølging av Biofagevalueringen’; C.
Brochmann was appointed member of this committee).

Scientific publications
The publication activity has regularly increased since 2002. A total of 31 papers were
published by the NCB staff in international peer-reviewed journals in 2004 (see
Figure; details in Appendix and at http://www.nhm.uio.no/ncb/). A total number of 85
papers have been published since 2002. Per April 2005, the number of
published/accepted/submitted papers for this year already amount to 36. Most of the
PhD and postdoc projects at the NCB are, however, not yet completed. The increase
will therefore be substantially higher in the coming 1-3 years.
Increasing effort is put into planning and submitting papers to high-impact journals.
This clearly delays the publication process, because there will be more rejections and
re-submissions before a paper is accepted. There are already a substantial number of
papers published in journals with impact > 2 (see Figure; details in Appendix 3).
A major achievement in 2005 was the publication of a revised edition of the
Norwegian standard flora for vascular plants, ‘Lid’s flora’, by Reidar Elven.

Seminars arranged by the NCB
Six major NCB seminars have been arranged, including the yearly progress seminars
with our external evaluators. The 2nd NCB seminar on the ’Status and future of
biological systematics in Norway’ was arranged over two days in October 2002 and
was attended by 90 participants. Many smaller thematic workshops have been
arranged, in addition to biweekly NCB meetings and weekly journal clubs. Guest
speakers from abroad have been invited to several of the seminars and workshops (see
Appendix 8).

A list of the individual NCB projects is given in Appendix 2. The status of the main
projects is summarized in the following.
The NCB Gyrodactylus projects
These projects are headed by Tor A. Bakke and Lutz Bachmann. Currently, the PhD
students Haakon Hansen and Kjetil Olstad, the master student Grethe Robertsen, and
the postdoc Laetitia Plaisance are working on the project. The master student Anja C.
Winger finished her thesis in 2004. International collaborators are T.A. Mo,
Veterinary Institute, Oslo, Norway; Dr. Jo Cable, Cardiff University, UK; Dr. Phil D.
Harris, University of Nottingham, UK; Dr. Andrew Shinn, University of Stirling,
Scotland; Dr. Tim T.J. Littlewood and Tine Huyse, Natural History Museum, London,
UK.
The projects include studies on the variation in genetics, morphology, biology and
host resistance/susceptibility of selected gyrodactylid species, first of all the
morphologically very similar G. salaris and G. thymalli. Mitochondrial Co1
sequences from many G. salaris and G. thymalli populations cluster according to
geography but not species in well-supported clades. Monophyly of either species in
not supported, and it has been proposed that G. salaris and G. thymalli represent two
polytypic species, one polytypic, or a complex of more than two sibling species.
Similar levels of genetic diversity between populations were detected for G. turnbulli.
A comparative analysis of IGS sequences gave, however, different results with
sequence features characteristic for G. salaris and G. thymalli.
We also studied whether the Co1 clades are reflected morphologically. We found all
populations could be discriminated by morphometrics with some statistically
significant groupings of the populations. Interestingly, specimens from the type
locality of G. thymalli were significantly different from all other populations in size
but not in shape. The Trysil population, on the other hand, was different from all other
populations in shape, but not in size. The extent of morphological variation is less in
G. salaris. Currently, the mtDNA of G. salaris and G. thymalli from all clades is
screened for mitochondrial SNPs in order to improve molecular diagnostics of strains.
Nuclear SNPs for population genetic analysis will also be developed.
Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) co-occurs with Atlantic salmon in North Norway and
is present in some south Norwegian lakes draining into salmon populated river
systems. A morphological and molecular study revealed that Gyrodactylus on Arctic
charr from the river Signaldalselva in North Norway, belongs to G. salaris mtDNA
clade 1, and that Gyrodactylus on Arctic charr from Lake Pålsbufjorden, Buskerud
- 21 -
Scientific status
County, south Norway, surprisingly belongs to G. salaris mtDNA clade 3. As Lake
Pålsbufjorden drains into the important salmon river Numedalslågen, the infectivity
and reproductive capacity of the G. salaris from Arctic charr was tested on Atlantic
salmon, Arctic charr and rainbow trout. G. salaris from the Arctic charr from Lake
Pålsbufjorden reproduced on all three salmonid species; rainbow trout and charr were
moderately susceptible but salmon was almost resistant. Thus, we have for the first
time found clear evidence of virulence differences between Norwegian G. salaris
strains, which is of utmost importance for the understanding of host specificity and
host switch phenomena in gyrodactylid biology.
The Cottus species C. poecilopus and C. gobio occur in Norway but are
phylogeographically sub-divided. The common bullhead occurs only in a restricted
area in southeastern Norway, however, sympatrically with Alpine bullhead. In
Fennoscandia there is only one Gyrodactylus sp. expected to occur on Alpine
bullhead. Morphologically, this specimen was considered a close relative, if not
identical, of G. hrabei Ergens, 1957 described from Slovakian C. gobio. Alpine
bullhead from both North-Norway and south eastern Norway revealed a Gyrodactylus
infection on both the skin and gills. A taxonomical study based on both morphometry
and molecular markers of the
skin dwelling parasite and
subsequent comparison with
data of a re-examination of
the type material of G. hrabei
from C. gobio in Slovakia,
and topotypes from Alpine
bullhead is currently
underway. The Gyrodactylus
on the gills is certainly a new
species.
Important biological features
of G. salaris are largely
unknown but indispensable
for an understanding of the
host-parasite associations and
thus also for the parasites’
systematics. Without a
particular transmission stage,
G. salaris utilizes four
different transfer routes to
new hosts. We have evaluated
the transmission strategies of
G. salaris by assessing the
survival and infectivity of
detached worms and those
removed from dead hosts.
Surprisingly, most parasites

skin of Atlantic salmon (above) and feeding (arrows) of G.
salaris on the skin of Atlantic salmon (below)
- 22 -
Scientific status
remain with their host following its death. G. salaris can actually survive for up to 6 d
at 12oC on a dead host and, most importantly, is infectious for at least up to 72 h posthost death. In contrast, G. turnbulli parasites actively leave a dead host. For G.
salaris, dead hosts may serve as important infection sources. It addition, worms that
have given birth are more likely to transfer to a new host than those that have not
given birth. Apparently the timing of transmission is not random.
The NCB bird projects
The NCB bird projects are headed by Jan Lifjeld and currently involve 2 postdocs
(Johnsen, Wennerberg), 3 PhD students (Fossøy, Kleven, Marthinsen) and 2 Master
students (Brenna, Laskemoen). Postdoc Thomas Borge was employed by the NCB for
4.5 months in 2004. The group works in two rather separate fields, (1) the ecology
and evolution of mating systems, and (2) population genetic structure and
differentiation in a phylogeographic and taxonomic perspective. Over the last year,
several links between the fields have been established, both with respect to
methodology and interpretation of biological patterns.
Our mating system research has recently documented contrasts between passerine
species in inbreeding versus outbreeding preferences in extrapair mating. This
variation is not well understood, but it may be related to the costs of inbreeding,
which again may be influenced by the amount of genetic variation in the population.
This idea was the starting point of Thomas Borge’s employment at the NCB, with the
goal to compare levels of genetic variation in five passerine species at some selected
autosomal and z-linked introns. The results revealed a markedly higher SNP variation
at Z-linked loci in the barn swallow, the species for which we had an a priori
expectation of higher genetic diversity than in the other species.

Sequence variation in these introns can also be used for phylogenetic analysis. This is
currently explored in the bluethroat (Johnsen), the dunlin and the snowy owl
(Marthinsen, Wennerberg). In both species we have also results on microsatellite
markers showing clear subspecies differentiation. In the bluethroat, Johnsen has
shown a link between population differences at microsatellites and divergence at the
sexual ornament in males, which is the main character for the current subspecies
taxonomy. Some of the subspecies have, however, rather poor support.
The dunlin project utilizes a number of genetic markers, i.e., mtDNA and nuclear
intron sequences, microsatellites and AFLPs, to assess genetic differences between
populations and subspecies in the western Palearctic. There is relatively high
consensus among the various methods in identifying a baseline geographic
structuring, which seems to match the current subspecies taxonomy. A preliminary
analysis indicates that the small and isolated population in Svalbard is more closely
related to subspecies schinzii, breeding on Iceland, than to the nominate subspecies
alpina breeding in Scandinavia. On a smaller scale, microsatellites seem quite
powerful in detecting population differentiation in this species.
The preliminary results of the snowy owl project indicate a lack of genetic structuring
in the species’ circumpolar breeding range.

The NCB plant projects
The staff working on the various NCB plant projects (see list in Appendix) carry out
studies of plant collections in many foreign natural history museums and arrange
extensive field expeditions to collect new material, often jointly arranged. A synopsis
of these activities is given below.

The Panarctic Flora (PAF) project
The work with the Panarctic Flora Checklist was initiated in 1998–1999 as a
collaboration between botanists and institutions in Norway, Iceland, Canada, USA,
and Russia. The aim is to collect and standardize information of names, types,
chromosome counts, and geographic distributions for all arctic vascular plants.
Editors are R. Elven (Oslo), D.F. Murray (Fairbanks), B.A. Yurtsev (St. Petersburg,
deceased 2005), and V.Yu. Razzhivin (St. Petersburg), with the main 'office' and the
main work done in Oslo. A draft checklist has been circulated for some years and
commented on by a large number of experts on special groups. A 'final' version is to
be presented at the CAFF (Conservation of Arctic Fauna and Flora) Flora Group
meeting in Helsinki in 2005.
This project has been funded by a variety of sources, including The Norwegian
Academy of Science and Letters (Inger Nordal and Reidar Elven, a one-year project at
the Centre of Advanced Study 1998-99), the Research Council of Norway (under the
Biodiversity Programme), and during the last years by the NCB-SUP funding.
The PAF project serves as an ‘umbrella’ for the other NCB projects on arctic plants.

The SUP botany projects
The botany projects under the core SUP (Strategic University Programme) funding of
the NCB are collectively entitled ‘Migration and evolution of arctic plants in
response to Quaternary climate changes’ and involve all four NCB botany seniors
(Brochmann, Elven, Borgen, and Stedje). The main research questions addressed
concern the deep history and formation of the modern tundra ecosystem in response to
cooling in the late Tertiary, refugial isolation, migration, and speciation of arctic
plants in response to the following ice age cycles, and, in particular, evolution via
reticulate speciation (hybridization and polyploidy). In addition, we work on
delimitation of taxa and the taxonomy of selected groups using a combination of
molecular markers, morphological analysis, determination of nuclear DNA content
using flow cytometry, chromosome number determination, and experimental crosses
between plants cultivated in a phytotron at the Department of Biology (two flowering
seasons per year). The results are immediately incorporated in the PAF synopsis. In
several studies we have recently started to work on untangling the original diploid
progenitor lineages of arctic high-level polyploids, based on cloning of low-copy
nuclear genes.
The projects involve/have involved many guest
researchers (currently M. Popp, G. Gusarova, and A.
Tribsch), postdocs (currently T. M. Gabrielsen),
PhD students (currently T. A. Carlsen, H. Solstad,
and I. Skrede), research assistants (currently V.
Mirré and M. H. Jørgensen) and Master students (for
further details see Appendices 1, 2 and 4). At the
NCB web site, details of the individual projects can
be found in the abstract presented at the 2005 NCB
progress seminar (http://www.nhm.uio.no/ncb/
Seminars/Tomte_2005/5th_seminar.htm) and in the
abstracts submitted for the International Botany
Congress in Vienna 2005
(http://www.nhm.uio.no/ncb/news.html).

The ARKTØK project
This project is entitled ‘Effects of climate change on ecosystems in Svalbard: past and
future immigration of thermophilous key species’ and headed by Christian Brochmann
and Lutz Bachmann. Collaborators are Pierre Taberlet, Grenoble, and Jon Landvik,
Ås, Norway. There are two postdocs on the project (I. G. Alsos and D. Ehrich), one
PhD student (P. B. Eidesen), and currently one master student (G. H. Jacobsen). The
- 27 -
Scientific status
project is funded for five years (2002-2006) under the climate programme (formerly
ARKTØK programme) at the Research Council of Norway. Some highlights from the
project are presented in the first part of this report.
Synopsis: The expected climate change will probably be most dramatic in the Arctic,
and climate models predict an increase of the average temperature by 3.0-3.5 °C from
1990 to 2070 in Svalbard. Thus, species with higher thermal requirements than the
current plant species in Svalbard may be able to establish if seeds or propagules reach
the archipelago. The rare, relatively thermophilous plant species presently occurring
in the archipelago probably immigrated during the Holocene hypsithermal, when the
mean temperature was 1-2 °C warmer than today.
Goals: Using DNA markers to determine the frequency of past immigrations of
thermophilous species to Svalbard and identify the source area(s); to estimate the
dispersal potential of species that have not yet arrived in Svalbard but are dominating
in more southern ecosystems; and to estimate the effect of the mode of dispersal (birddispersed, wind-dispersed, and without particular adaptations) on the likelihood of
immigration to Svalbard.
Status: The field work is completed, with three main seasons (2002-2004). 22 plant
species that are either wind-dispersed, bird-dispersed, or without any particular
adaptations for dispersal were collected in most of their distribution areas, with
emphasis on the North Atlantic region. Twelve of these species are currently found in
Svalbard and 10 are potential immigrants. We aim to end up with a comparative
analysis of 18 of these species. At present, some eight species are more or less
finished in the molecular laboratory and the data analysis is finished or in progress.
Most of the laboratory work will be finished in 2005. One paper (on genotyping
errors) has been published in Molecular Ecology (Bonin et al., 2004), and one
manuscript is soon ready for submission (on Dryas). A synopsis of the species
analyzed so far will be presented at the Vienna Congress in 2005
(http://www.nhm.uio.no/ncb/news.html).
The AFROALP project
This project is entitled ‘Afroalpine 'islands' as natural laboratories: dynamics and
units of plant biodiversity’ and headed by Christian Brochmann, NCB, and Sileshi
Nemomissa, Univ. of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in collaboration with Pierre Taberlet,
Grenoble. Two PhD students (Adane Assefa and Mulugeta Kebede) and five MSc
students (Abel Gizaw, Biructawit Bekele, Elsabet Ermias, Kidist Bogale and Muluken
Shambel) work on the project. The project is funded for five years (2003-2007) under
the Norwegian NUFU-programme.
Synopsis: The unique afroalpine environment occurs in the scattered high mountains
of tropical Africa like islands in a sea of lowlands. The afroalpine plants have their
closest relatives not in the surrounding lowlands, but in remote areas, even in Europe
- 28 -
Scientific status
and Asia. Where did their ancestors come from, how, and when? In the main part of
this new project, we investigate the phylogeographic history and population genetics
of 6-8 afroalpine ecological key species without obvious mechanisms for longdistance dispersal. Three populations per species have been collected in the 12 highest
mountain systems of East Africa and Ethiopia , as well as from other areas. Using
AFLP fingerprinting, sequencing of chloroplast DNA, phylogeographic analyses, and
assignment statistics, we will determine migration rates among mountain systems, the
number and location of glacial refugia, possible secondary contacts between
differentiated glacial gene pools, and infraspecific diversity hotspots. In other
subprojects, we address the deeper history of some afroalpine plant groups including
speciation, phylogeny, and biogeography.
Objectives: To investigate the historical biogeography of the afroalpine ecosystem; to
identify potential glacial refugia for some afroalpine key species; and to identify
important areas for conservation of the afroalpine ecosystem based on hotspots of
intraspecific diversity.
Status: The field work is completed (except for two of the MSc students). Collections
have been made in the 12 main high mountain systems of tropical East Africa and
Ethiopia during more than one full year of field work. The two PhD students are
currently on a one-year stay at the NCB (from February 2005) for theoretical and
practical training and to carry out the molecular analyses. Three of the master students
are currently visiting the NCB for four months (March-June, 2005) to learn and carry
out molecular analyses as parts of their theses.
The Africa Project
This project is entitled ‘Biodiversity of Southern Africa (monocotyledonous plants)
- taxonomy, conservation and use’ and is headed by Brita Stedje (NCB), Shakkie
Kativu (Univ. of Zimbabwe), and Zacharia Magombo (National herbarium and
botanic gardens, Zomba, Malawi). There are 3 PhD students (Charlotte Sletten Bjorå,
Ezekeil Kwembeya, Elizabeth Mwafongo) and 5 Master students (Gry Hoell, Enoch
Mlangeni, Neema Tindamanyire, Gladys Msekandiana, Jamestone Kamwendo). The
project is mainly funded by NUFU (2002-2006); one PhD student is funded by the
Research Council of Norway.
Summary: Southern Tropical Africa has a wide range of habitats, ranging from
tropical rain- and montane forests, savannah bush land and grasslands to desert
habitats, and the region is rich in plant biodiversity. The increasing pressure on the
ecosystem from the fast growing human population calls for implementation of
policies to ensure sustainable utilization of the biodiversity. To be able to conserve –
or use in a sustainable way – a necessary requirement is to know what and where the
plant species are. We still lack information on the taxonomy, genetic diversity and
ecology of several important plant groups in the region. The project includes a
trilateral collaboration, i.e. Zimbabwe/Malawi/Norway, in research and capacity
building to enhance taxonomic potential and general understanding on plant
- 29 -
Scientific status
biodiversity, conservation and utilization of plant resources, and to enable the
participating institutions to fulfill their obligations under the Convention on
Biological Diversity. Systematic research will mainly be done in the following
groups: Amaryllidaceae, Anthericaceae, Aloaceae and Hyacitnaceae, for which
information gaps have already being identified.
Status: Phylogenies have been inferred based on DNA sequence data for the genus
Crinum (Amaryllidaceae) and for the genera Anthericum and Chlorophytum
(Antheicaceae). At least two new species, one in the genus Crinum and one in the
genus Chlorophytum, will be described.
