Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands: colonization routes and founder effect
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15)
Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands.We use genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse colonization, and test whether the genetic founder effect on five islands is associated with dispersal distance, island size and species traits. Most species colonized postglacially via multiple dispersal events from several ...
Rough-legged buzzards, arctic foxes and red foxes in a tundra ecosystem without rodents
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-18)
Small rodents with multi-annual population cycles strongly influence the dynamics of food
webs, and in particular predator-prey interactions, across most of the tundra biome. Rodents
are however absent from some arctic islands, and studies on performance of arctic predators
under such circumstances may be very instructive since rodent cycles have been predicted
to collapse in a warming Arctic. ...
