• Are immigrants outbred and unrelated? Testing fundamental assumptions in a wild metapopulation 

      Dickel, Lisa; Arcese, Peter; Nietlisbach, Pirmin; Keller, Lukas F.; Jensen, Henrik; Reid, Jane Margaret (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    • Characterization of habitat requirements of European fishing spiders 

      Dickel, Lisa; Monsimet, Jeremy; Lafage, Denis; Devineau, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Wetlands are among the most threatened habitats in the world, and so are their species, which suffer habitat loss due to climate and land use changes. Freshwater species, and especially arthropods, receive comparatively ...
    • Immigration counter-acts local micro-evolution of a major fitness component: migration-selection balance in free-living song sparrows 

      Reid, Jane Margaret; Arcese, Peter; Nietlisbach, Pirmin; Wolak, Matthew; Muff, Stefanie; Dickel, Lisa; Keller, Lukas F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Ongoing adaptive evolution, and resulting “evolutionary rescue” of declining populations, requires additive genetic variation in fitness. Such variation can be increased by gene flow resulting from immigration, potentially ...
    • Insights into the quantification and reporting of model-related uncertainty across different disciplines 

      Simmonds, Emily Grace; Dunn-Sigouin, Etienne; Adjei, Kwaku Peprah; Andersen, Christoffer Wold; Aspheim, Janne Cathrin Hetle; Battistin, Claudia; Bulso, Nicola; Christensen, Hannah M.; Cretois, Benjamin; Cubero, Ryan John Abat; Davidovich, Ivan Andres; Dickel, Lisa; Dunn, Benjamin Adric; Dyrstad, Karin; Einum, Sigurd; Giglio, Donata; Gjerløw, Haakon; Godefroidt, Amélie; González-Gil, Ricardo; Gonzalo Cogno, Soledad; Große, Fabian; Halloran, Paul; Jensen, Mari Fjalstad; Kennedy, John James; Langsæther, Peter Egge; Laverick, Jack H; Lederberger, Debora; Li, Camille; Mandeville, Elizabeth G; Mandeville, Caitlin; Moe, Espen; Schröder, Tobias Navarro; Nunan, David; Sicacha-Parada, Jorge; Simpson, Melanie Rae; Skarstein, Emma Sofie; Spensberger, Clemens; Stevens, Richard; Subramanian, Aneesh C.; Svendsen, Lea; Theisen, Ole Magnus; Watret, Connor; O'Hara, Robert B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world ...
    • Multi-generation genetic and fitness effects of immigration in a natural meta-population of song sparrows (Melospiza melodia) 

      Dickel, Lisa (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:105, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      Fragmentation leads to smaller habitat patches and population sizes, endangering population fitness and persistence, including through inbreeding depression and loss of genetic diversity. These effects can be mitigated ...
    • Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution 

      Simmonds, Emily Grace; Adjei, Kwaku Peprah; Cretois, Benjamin; Dickel, Lisa; González-Gil, Ricardo; Laverick, Jack H; Mandeville, Caitlin Marie; Mandeville, Elizabeth G; Ovaskainen, Otso Tapio; Sicacha-Parada, Jorge; Skarstein, Emma Sofie; O'Hara, Robert Brian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ...
