Age-dependent patterns of spatial autocorrelation in fish populations
(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
(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 ... -
Demographic buffering of life histories? Implications of the choice of measurement scale
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ...
