    • Spatial heterogeneity in climate change effects decouples the long‐term dynamics of wild reindeer populations in the high Arctic 

      Hansen, Brage Bremset; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Peeters, Bart; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Albon, Steve D.; Herfindal, Ivar; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Grøtan, Vidar; Aanes, Ronny (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The ‘Moran effect’ predicts that dynamics of populations of a species are synchronized over similar distances as their environmental drivers. Strong population synchrony reduces species viability, but spatial heterogeneity ...
    • Spatiotemporal dynamics of avian communities 

      Sandal, Lisa (Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Community ecology is the study of how different species interact with each other and their environment in a given habitat. In the face of rapid biodiversity loss, community ecology studies are more important than ever. ...
