Covarying Behaviours and Innovation in a House Sparrow Metapopulation - Implications for Social Foraging
Hammerås, John (Master thesis, 2016)Individuals in populations of many species have been found to differ consistently in suites of correlating behavioural measures. These phenomena appear to be heritable and subject to selection, thus making it as important ... -

Hoddevik, Sunniva Eline (Master thesis, 2021)Bærekraftig utvikling har siden midten av 1900-tallet blitt et globalt konsept. Siden den gang har det blitt utviklet flere internasjonale avtaler for å bekjempe klimakrisen. Det er allment kjent at dersom det grønne skiftet ... -
Indirect social effects of the individual strategy in producer-scrounger foraging interactions
Pettersen, Nils Håkon (Master thesis, 2017)When animals interact socially they experience and react to phenotypes of their social partners. Such interactions can affect behaviours and fitness, and therefore opponent effects (i.e. indirect social effects) can maintain ... -
Individual variation and indirect social effects in producer-scrounger behavior in groups of house sparrows, Passer domesticus
Lilleng, Simen (Master thesis, 2019)Sosial foringsatferd involverer intraspesifikk konkurranse over begrenset mattilgjengelighet som over tid har formet evolusjonen av sosiale forings strategier. Individer er del av et dynamisk sosialt miljø som ofte avhenger ... -

Silva, Catarina; McFarlane, S. Eryn; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Rönnegård, Lars; Billing, Anna; Kvalnes, Thomas; Kemppainen, Petri; Rønning, Bernt; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Qvarnström, Anna; Ellegren, Hans; Jensen, Henrik; Husby, Arild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Knowledge about the underlying genetic architecture of phenotypic traits is needed to understand and predict their evolutionary dynamics. The number of causal loci underlying most phenotypic traits, the magnitude of their ... -
Is basal metabolic rate associated with recruit production and survival in free-living house sparrows?
Rønning, Bernt; Broggi, Juli; Bech, Claus; Moe, Børge; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Pärn, Henrik; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Jensen, Henrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Life history theory predicts that available energy is limited and needs to be allocated among different processes such as growth, reproduction and self-maintenance. Basal metabolic rate (BMR), a common measure of an animal's ... -
Is the rate of metabolic ageing and survival determined by basal metabolic rate in the zebra finch?
Rønning, Bernt; Moe, Børge; Berntsen, Johan Henrik Hårdensson; Noreen, Elin; Bech, Claus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-29)The relationship between energy metabolism and ageing is of great interest because aerobic metabolism is the primary source of reactive oxygen species which is believed to be of major importance in the ageing process. We ... -
