The effect of inter- and intraspecific competition on individual and population niche widths: a four-decade study on two interacting salmonids
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-12)
Competition is assumed to shape niche widths, affecting species survival and coexistence. Expectedly, high interspecific competition will reduce population niche widths, whereas high intraspecific competition will do the opposite. Here we test in situ how intra- and interspecific competition affects trophic resource use and the individual and population niche widths of two lacustrine fish species, ...
Long-term ecological studies in northern lakes – challenges, experiences, and accomplishments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-15)
We review three long‐term research programs performed over the last four decades on the ecology and management of oligotrophic lake systems with different fish communities at 69° N in Norway. Through whole‐lake perturbation experiments, intensive culling of stunted fish removed 35 tons (1984–1991) of Arctic charr <i>Salvelinus alpinus</i> in Takvatn (15 km<sup>2</sup>) and 153 tons (1981–1983, ...
