• Evaluation of three commercial bovine ELISA kits for detection of antibodies against Alphaherpesviruses in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) 

      Das Neves, Carlos G.; Yoccoz, Nigel G.; Roger, Matthieu; Rimstad, Espen; Tryland, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-03-09)
      Background: The genus <i>Varicellovirus</i> (family <i>Herpesviridae</i> subfamily <i>Alphaherpesvirinae</i>) includes a group of viruses genetically and antigenically related to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) among which cervid herpesvirus 2 (CvHV-2) can be of importance in reindeer. These viruses are known to be responsible for different diseases in both wild and domestic animals. Reindeer are ...
    • Fine-scale spatial segregation in a pelagic seabird driven by differential use of tidewater glacier fronts 

      Bertrand, Philip; Bêty, Joël; Yoccoz, Nigel G.; Fortin, Marie-Josée; Strøm, Hallvard; Steen, Harald; Kohler, Jack; Harris, Stephanie M.; Patrick, Samantha C.; Chastel, Olivier; Blévin, P.; Hop, Haakon; Moholdt, Geir; Maton, Joséphine; Descamps, Sébastien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-11)
      In colonially breeding marine predators, individual movements and colonial segregation are influenced by seascape characteristics. Tidewater glacier fronts are important features of the Arctic seascape and are often described as foraging hotspots. Albeit their documented importance for wildlife, little is known about their structuring effect on Arctic predator movements and space use. In this study, ...
    • Multiple configurations and fluctuating trophic control in the Barents Sea food-web 

      Sivel, Elliot; Planque, Benjamin; Lindstrøm, Ulf; Yoccoz, Nigel G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-09)
      The Barents Sea is a subarctic shelf sea which has experienced major changes during the past decades. From ecological time-series, three different food-web configurations, reflecting successive shifts of dominance of pelagic fish, demersal fish, and zooplankton, as well as varying trophic control have been identified in the last decades. This covers a relatively short time-period as available ...
    • Quantifying fixed individual heterogeneity in demographic parameters: Performance of correlated random effects for Bernoulli variables 

      Fay, Rémi; Authier, Matthieu; Hamel, Sandra; Jenouvrier, Stéphanie; van de Pol, Martijn; Cam, Emmanuelle; Gaillard, Jean-Michel; Yoccoz, Nigel G.; Acker, Paul; Allen, Andrew; Aubry, Lise M.; Bonenfant, Christophe; Caswell, Hal; Coste, Christophe; Larue, Benjamin; Le Coeur, Christie; Gamelon, Marlène; Macdonald, Kaitlin R.; Moiron, Maria; Nicol-Harper, Alex; Pelletier, Fanie; Rotella, Jay J.; Teplitsky, Celine; Touzot, Laura; Wells, Caitlin P.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-24)
      <ol type="1"> <li>An increasing number of empirical studies aim to quantify individual variation in demographic parameters because these patterns are key for evolutionary and ecological processes. Advanced approaches to estimate individual heterogeneity are now using a multivariate normal distribution with correlated individual random effects to account for the latent correlations among different ...
