• Climate Events Synchronize the Dynamics of a Resident Vertebrate Community in the High Arctic 

      Hansen, Brage Bremset; Grøtan, Vidar; Aanes, Ronny; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Stien, Audun; Fuglei, Eva; Ims, Rolf Anker; Yoccoz, Nigel; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Recently accumulated evidence has documented a climate impact on the demography and dynamics of single species, yet the impact at the community level is poorly understood. Here, we show that in Svalbard in the high Arctic, ...
    • Convergent evolution of pain-inducing defensive venom components in spitting cobras 

      Kazandjian, Taline D.; Petras, Daniel; Robinson, Samuel D.; van Thiel, Jory; Greene, Harry W.; Arbuckle, Kevin; Barlow, Axel; Carter, David A.; Wouters, Roel M.; Whiteley, Gareth; Wagstaff, Simon C.; Arias, Ana Silvia; Albulescu, Laura-Oana; Plettenberg Laing, Anthony; Hall, Cara; Heap, A.; Penrhyn-Lowe, S.; McCabe, Cristopher V.; Ainsworth, Stuart; da Silva, Ricardo R.; Dorrestein, Pieter C.; Richardson, Michael K.; Gutiérrez, José Maria; Calvete, Juan J.; Harrison, Robert A.; Vetter, Irina; Undheim, Eivind Andreas Baste; Wüster, Wolfgang; Casewell, Nicholas Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Convergent evolution provides insights into the selective drivers underlying evolutionary change. Snake venoms, with a direct genetic basis and clearly defined functional phenotype, provide a model system for exploring the ...
    • Evolvability predicts macroevolution under fluctuating selection 

      Holstad, Agnes; Voje, Kjetil L.; Opedal, Øystein Hjorthol; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Bourg, Salome Cassandra Sarah; Hansen, Thomas Fredrik; Pelabon, Christophe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Heritable variation is a prerequisite for evolutionary change, but the relevance of genetic constraints on macroevolutionary timescales is debated. By using two datasets on fossil and contemporary taxa, we show that ...
