    • Centennial relationships between ocean temperature and Atlantic puffin production reveal shifting decennial trends 

      Hansen, Erpur S.; Sandvik, Hanno; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Yoccoz, Nigel; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Bader, Jürgen; Descamps, Sebastien; Hodges, Kevin; Mesquita, Michel d. S.; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; Varpe, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-24)
      The current warming of the oceans has been shown to have detrimental effects for a number of species. An understanding of the underlying mechanisms may be hampered by the non-linearity and non-stationarity of the relationships between temperature and demography, and by the insufficient length of available time series. Most demographic time series are too short to study the effects of climate on ...

    • Spatial synchrony in sub-arctic geometrid moth outbreaks reflects dispersal in larval and adult life cycle stages 

      Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Bjørnstad, Ottar Nordal; Mesquita, Michel d. S.; Ims, Rolf Anker (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-08)
      <OL> <LI>Spatial synchrony in population dynamics can be caused by dispersal or spatially correlated variation in environmental factors like weather (Moran effect). Distinguishing between these mechanisms is challenging for natural populations, and the study of dispersal‐induced synchrony in particular has been dominated by theoretical modelling and laboratory experiments. <LI>The goal of the ...

    • There is more to climate than the North Atlantic Oscillation: a new perspective from climate dynamics to explain the variability in population growth rates of a long-lived seabird 

      Mesquita, Michel d. S.; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Sandvik, Hanno; Reiertsen, Tone; Barrett, Robert T.; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Hodges, Kevin I.; Bader, Jürgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-29)
      Predicting the impact of global climate change on the biosphere has become one of the most important efforts in ecology. Ecosystems worldwide are changing rapidly as a consequence of global warming, yet our understanding of the consequences of these changes on populations is limited. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has been used as a proxy for “climate” in several ecological studies, but this ...
