Bears are simply voles writ large: social structure determines the mechanisms of intrinsic population regulation in mammals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The literature reveals opposing views regarding the importance of intrinsic population regulation in mammals. Different models have been proposed; adding importance to contrasting life histories, body sizes and social ... -
Factors influencing carrion communities are only partially consistent with those of deadwood necromass
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Research on decomposer communities has traditionally focused on plant litter or deadwood. Even though carrion forms highly nutrient-rich necromass that enhance ecosystem heterogeneity, the factors infuencing saprophytic ... -
Natal dispersal based on past and present environmental phenology in the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Natal dispersal allows individuals to reach suitable breeding sites. The effect of present plant phenology as a cue for dispersal into areas with favourable stages of development has been well established across avian ... -
Population cycles and outbreaks of small rodents: ten essential questions we still need to solve
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Most small rodent populations in the world have fascinating population dynamics. In the northern hemisphere, voles and lemmings tend to show population cycles with regular fuctuations in numbers. In the southern hemisphere, ... -
Reproductive success and failure: the role of winter body mass in reproductive allocation in Norwegian moose
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A life-history strategy that favours somatic growth over reproduction is well known for long-lived iteroparous species, especially in unpredictable environments. Risk-sensitive female reproductive allocation can be achieved ... -
Secondary metabolites and nutrients of woody plants in relation to browsing intensity in African savannas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Abstract Carbon-based secondary metabolites (CBSMs) are assumed to function as defences that contribute to herbivore-avoidance strategies of woody plants. Severe browsing has been reported to reduce concentrations of CBSMs ... -
The role of colonization in the dynamics of patchy populations of a cyclic vole species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The crash phase of vole populations with cyclic dynamics regularly leads to vast areas of uninhabited habitats. Yet although the capacity for cyclic voles to re-colonize such empty space is likely to be large and predicted ...
