• Age-dependent patterns of spatial autocorrelation in fish populations 

      Marquez, Jonatan; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Aanes, Sondre; Engen, Steinar; Salthaug, Are; Lee, Aline Magdalena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The degree of spatial autocorrelation in population fluctuations increases with dispersal and geographical covariation in the environment, and decreases with strength of density dependence. Because the effects of these ...
    • Analyzing dynamic species abundance distributions using generalized linear mixed models 

      Solbu, Erik Blystad; van der Veen, Bert; Herfindal, Ivar; Hovstad, Knut Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Understanding the mechanisms of ecological community dynamics and how they could be affected by environmental changes is important. Population dynamic models have well known ecological parameters that describe key ...
    • Cool as a moose: How can browsing counteract climate warming effects across boreal forest ecosystems? 

      Vuorinen, Katariina; Kolstad, Anders Lorentzen; De Vriendt, Laurent; Austrheim, Gunnar; Jean-Pierre, Tremblay; Solberg, Erling Johan; Speed, James David Mervyn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Herbivory has potential to modify vegetation responses to climatic changes. However, climate and herbivory also affect each other, and rarely work in isolation from other ecological factors, such as plant–plant competition. ...
    • Demographic buffering of life histories? Implications of the choice of measurement scale 

      Bjørkvoll, Eirin Marie; Lee, Aline Magdalena; Grøtan, Vidar; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Stien, Audun; Engen, Steinar; Albon, Steve D.; Loe, Leif Egil; Hansen, Brage Bremset (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Life-history theory predicts that the vital rates that influence population growth the most should be buffered against environmental fluctuations due to selection for reduced variation. However, it remains unclear whether ...
    • Predation risk alters life history strategies in an oceanic copepod 

      Kvile, Kristina Øie; Altin, Dag; Thommesen, Lotte; Titelman, Emma Rebecka Josefin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The ubiquitous oceanic copepod Calanus finmarchicus is the major link between primary producers and important fish stocks in the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. Despite over a century of research on growth and ...
    • The role of seasonal migration in spatial population synchrony 

      Martin, Ellen Claire; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Herfindal, Ivar; Lee, Aline Magdalena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Spatially synchronized population dynamics are common in nature, and understanding their causes is key for predicting species persistence. A main driver of synchrony between populations of the same species is shared ...
    • Spatial covariation of competing species in a fluctuating environment 

      Lee, Aline Magdalena; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Engen, Steinar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Understanding how stochastic fluctuations in the environment influence population dynamics is crucial for sustainable management of biological diversity. However, because species do not live in isolation, this requires ...
    • Temperature synchronizes temporal variation in laying dates across European hole-nesting passerines 

      Vriend, Stefan J.G.; Grøtan, Vidar; Gamelon, Marlène; Adriaensen, Frank; Ahola, Markus P.; Álvarez, Elena; Bailey, Liam D.; Barba, Emilio; Bouvier, Jean-Charles; Burgess, Malcolm D.; Bushuev, Andrey; Camacho, Carlos; Canal, David; Charmantier, Anne; Cole, Ella F.; Cusimano, Camillo; Doligez, Blandine F.; Drobniak, Szymon M.; Dubiec, Anna; Eens, Marcel; Eeva, Tapio; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Ferns, Peter N.; Goodenough, Anne E.; Hartley, Ian R.; Hinsley, Shelley A.; Ivankina, Elena; Juškaitis, Rimvydas; Kempenaers, Bart; Kerimov, Anvar B.; Kålås, John Atle; Lavigne, Claire; Leivits, Agu; Mainwaring, Mark C.; Martínez-Padilla, Jesús; Matthysen, Erik; van Oers, Kees; Orell, Markku; Pinxten, Rianne; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; Rytkönen, Seppo; Senar, Juan Carlos; Sheldon, Ben C.; Sorace, Alberto; Török, János; Vatka, Emma; Visser, Marcel E.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Identifying the environmental drivers of variation in fitness-related traits is a central objective in ecology and evolutionary biology. Temporal fluctuations of these environmental drivers are often synchronized at large ...
