Gamelon, Marlène; Vriend, Stefan; Engen, Steinar; Adriaensen, Frank; Dhondt, A.A.; Evans, Simon R.; Matthysen, Erik; Sheldon, Ben C.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Understanding species coexistence has long been a major goal of ecology. Coexistence theory for two competing species posits that intraspecific density dependence should be stronger than interspecific density dependence. ... -
Catch-effort model used as a management tool in exploited populations: Wild boar as a case study
Vajas, Pablo; Calenge, Clément; Gamelon, Marlène; Girard, Fabrice; Melac, Olivier; Chandosne, Charlette; Richard, Emmanuelle; Saïd, Sonia; Baubet, Eric (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)For sustainable management of exploited populations, it is required to have good knowledge on temporal trends in population density to adapt the harvest.

Causes and consequences of body growth variation in hunted wild boar populations
Veylit, Lara (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:41, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The life of an organism can be simply described as its survival, growth, reproduction, and death. These life-history traits are influenced by both natural environmental variation as well as human activity (i.e. global ... -

Does multiple paternity explain phenotypic variation among offspring in wild boar?
Gamelon, Marlène; Gayet, Thibault; Baubet, Eric; Devillard, Sébastien; Say, Ludovic; Brandt, Serge; Pelabon, Christophe; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During pregnancy, littermates compete to extract maternal resources from the placenta. Unequal extraction of resources leads to developmental differences among offspring and thus within-litter variation in offspring mass. ... -
Effects of pulsed resources on the dynamics of seed consumer populations: a comparative demographic study in wild boar
Gamelon, Marlène; Touzot, Laura; Baubet, Eric; Cachelou, Jessica; Focardi, Stefano; Franzetti, Barbara; Nivois, Eveline; Veylit, Lara; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Mast seeding is a well-known example of pulsed resources in terrestrial ecosystems.

Environmental drivers of varying selective optima in a small passerine: A multivariate, multiepisodic approach
Gamelon, Marlène; Tufto, Jarle; Nilsson, Anna; Jerstad, Kurt; Røstad, Ole Wiggo; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In changing environments, phenotypic traits are shaped by numerous agents of selection. The optimal phenotypic value maximizing the fitness of an individual thus varies through time and space with various environmental ... -
Harvesting can stabilise population fluctuations and buffer the impacts of extreme climatic events
Peeters, Bart; Grøtan, Vidar; Gamelon, Marlène; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Lee, Aline Magdalena; Fryxell, John M.; Albon, Steve D.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Engen, Steinar; Loe, Leif Egil; Hansen, Brage Bremset (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Harvesting can magnify the destabilising effects of environmental perturbations on population dynamics and, thereby, increase extinction risk. However, population-dynamic theory predicts that impacts of harvesting depend ... -
How do conditions at birth influence early‐life growth rates in wild boar?
Veylit, Lara; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Gaillard, Jean Michel; Baubet, Eric; Gamelon, Marlène (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Weather conditions and population density individuals experience at birth influence their life-history traits and thereby population dynamics. Early-life individual growth is a key fitness-related trait; however, how it ... -
Hydrology influences breeding time in the white‑throated dipper
Nilsson, Anna; Skaugen, Thomas; Reitan, Trond; LAbée-Lund, Jan Henning; Gamelon, Marlène; Jerstad, Kurt; Røstad, Ole Wiggo; Slagsvold, Tore; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Walseng, Bjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Earlier breeding is one of the strongest responses to global change in birds and is a key factor determining reproductive success.

Bjørkås, Ragnhild (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:356, Doctoral thesis, 2024)English summary In natural communities, coexisting species are exposed to similar environmental conditions. If species respond similarly to these conditions, this can cause their population abundances to co-fluctuate ... -
