• The ecological dynamics of the coronavirus epidemics during transmission from outside sources when R0 is successfully managed below one 

      Engen, Steinar; Tian, Huaiyu; Yang, Ruifu; Bjørnstad, Ottar Nordal; Whittington, Jason; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Since COVID-19 spread globally in early 2020 and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March, many countries are managing the local epidemics effectively through intervention measures that limit ...
    • 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 ...
    • Evolutionarily stable strategies in stable and periodically fluctuating populations: The Rosenzweig–MacArthur predator–prey model 

      Grunert, Katrin; Holden, Helge; Jakobsen, Espen Robstad; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      An evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) is an evolutionary strategy that, if adapted by a population, cannot be invaded by any deviating (mutant) strategy. The concept of ESS has been extensively studied and widely applied ...
    • 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. In most studies of climate effects, the focus has been on large-scale environmental ...
    • Interactions between demography and environmental effects are important determinants of population dynamics 

      Gamelon, Marlène; Grøtan, Vidar; Nilsson, Anna L. K.; Engen, Steinar; Hurrell, James W.; Jerstad, Kurt; Phillips, Adam S.; Røstad, Ole Wiggo; Slagsvold, Tore; Walseng, Bjørn; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Climate change will affect the population dynamics of many species, yet the consequences for the long-term persistence of populations are poorly understood. A major reason for this is that density-dependent feedback effects ...

    • Location is everything, but climate gets a share: analyzing small-scale environmental influences on breeding success in the white-throated dipper 

      Nilsson, Anna L.K.; Reitan, Trond; Skaugen, Thomas; L'Abee-Lund, Jan Henning; Gamelon, Marlène; Jerstad, Kurt; Røstad, Ole Wiggo; Slagsvold, Tore; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Vøllestad, L. Asbjørn; Walseng, Bjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Ecological and evolutionary effects of environmental variation on wild populations are of particular interest in a changing world. Large-scale environmental indices are classically used as environmental explanatory variables ...
    • Spatiotemporal variation in climatic conditions across ecosystems 

      Herfindal, Ivar; Aanes, Sondre; Benestad, Rasmus; Finstad, Anders Gravbrøt; Salthaug, Are; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Environmental variation in time and space affects biological processes such as extinction risk and speed of adaptation to environmental change. The spatial structure of environmental variation may vary among ecosystems, ...
    • Sustainable management of populations impacted by harvesting and climate change 

      Stenseth, Nils Christian; Ims, Rolf Anker; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Cadahia, Luis; Herfindal, Ivar; Lee, Aline Magdalena; Whittington, Jason D; Yoccoz, Nigel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The sustainable use of natural resources is critical for addressing the global challenges of today. Strategies for sustainable harvesting need to consider not only harvested species, but also other non-harvested species ...
