Inferring regional patterns from local dynamics using spatially explicit simulation modelling and remote sensing data

The availability and quality of field data is one of the most severe limitations to studies of spatio-temporal population processes such as cyclic dynamics and population synchrony. We propose here an approach that will overcome many limitations concernin g data adequacy and which can dramaticall...

Coastal ecosystems: Human impact and ecosystem indicators

Recent studies have shown a world-wide transformation of coastal ecosystems due to fisheries and other human impact factors. A sustainable development is only possible through an adaptive ecosystem based management. There is accordingly a strong national need for an increased competence in marine...

Effects of interactions between fish populations on ecosystem dynamics and fish recruitment in the Norwegian Sea (INFERNO)

The Norwegian Sea harbours some of the largest fish stocks in the world, including Norwegian spring spawning herring, blue whiting, mackerel and horse mackerel. These planktivorous stocks have substantial spatial- and diet overlap, and by virtue of their high abundances, they can potentially have...

Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) on the Norwegian coast: fresh water colonisation, divergence rates and adaptive speciation

This project will investigate how historical contingency and evolutionary mechanisms interact to prime ecological and physiological adaptation, which may ultimately result in speciation in the threespined stickleback. This primarily marine species has fou nded numerous anadromous- and stationary ...
