      In a rapidly changing world, it is important to understand how environmental modifications by humans affect species behavior. This is not a simple task, since we need to deal with a multitude of species and the different ...
    • The impact of thermal seasonality on terrestrial endotherm food web dynamics: a revision of the Exploitation Ecosystem Hypothesis 

      Oksanen, Tarja Maarit; Oksanen, Lauri; Vuorinen, Katariina; Wolf, Christopher; Mäkynen, Aurelia; Olofsson, Johan; Ripple, William J.; Virtanen, Risto; Utsi, Tove Aagnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Many terrestrial endotherm food webs constitute three trophic level cascades. Others have two trophic level dynamics (food limited herbivores; plants adapted to tackle intense herbivory) or one trophic level dynamic ...
    • Integrated species distribution models fitted in INLA are sensitive to mesh parameterisation 

      Dambly, Lea I.; Isaac, Nick J. B.; Jones, Kate E.; Boughey, Katherine L.; O'Hara, Robert Brian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The ever-growing popularity of citizen science, as well as recent technological and digital developments, have allowed the collection of data on species' distributions at an extraordinary rate. In order to take advantage ...
