FRIPROSJEKT-FRIPROSJEKT

Understanding cumulative human impacts in a marine ecosystem with computational experiments

Mennesker påvirker marine økosystemer på mange måter, som gjennom klimaendringer, forurensning og overfiske. Kumulative effekter refererer til de samlede effektene av slike stressfaktorer. Disse utgjør en av de største truslene mot økosystemer og biologisk mangfold. Likevel vet vi lite om hvordan...

Cues for and synchrony of reproductive behaviour in an extreme long-distance migrant

Successful reproduction in migratory species, especially in species that breed in sites with strong seasonal reproductivity, is determined by three key aspects: (1) arrival timing at the breeding site, (2) synchrony in arrival timing, and (3) state of the environment at time of arrival. We aim to...
