      Akite, Perpetra; Telford, Richard; Waring, Paul; Akol, Anne M; Vandvik, Vigdis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-25)
      Forest-dependent biodiversity is threatened throughout the tropics by habitat loss and land-use intensification of the matrix habitats. We resampled historic data on two moth families, known to play central roles in many ...
    • A test of local adaptation to drought in germination and seedling traits in populations of two alpine forbs across a 2000 mm/year precipitation gradient 

      Gya, Ragnhild; Geange, Sonya Rita; Lynn, Joshua; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Wallevik, Øystein; Zernichow, Camilla; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Seed regeneration is a critical stage in the life histories of plants, affecting species' abilities to maintain local populations, evolve, and disperse to new sites. In this study, we test for local adaptations to drought ...
    • Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants

      Aim A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species’ local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi-dimensional climatic space ...
    • Think globally, measure locally: The MIREN standardized protocol for monitoring plant species distributions along elevation gradients 

      Haider, Sylvia; Lembrechts, Jonas J.; McDougall, Keith; Pauchard, Aníbal; Alexander, Jake M.; Barros, Agustina; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Rashid, Irfan; Rew, Lisa J.; Aleksanyan, Alla; Arévalo, José R.; Aschero, Valeria; Chisholm, Chelsea; Clark, V.

N.; Walsh, Neville; Wright, Genevieve; Zong, Shengwei; Seipel, Tim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Climate change and other global change drivers threaten plant diversity in mountains worldwide. A widely documented response to such environmental modifications is for plant species to change their elevational ranges. Range ...
    • Traits help explain species' performance away from their climate niche centre 

      Lynn, Joshua; Gya, Ragnhild; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard James; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aim: Climate change impacts on biota are variable across sites, among species and throughout individual species' ranges. Niche theory predicts that population performance should decline as site climate becomes increasingly ...
    • Vital rates in early life history underlie shifts in biotic interactions along bioclimatic gradients: An experimental test of the Stress Gradient Hypothesis 

      Klanderud, Kari; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Michel, Pascale; Berge, Astrid; Guittar, John L.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Question The Stress Gradient Hypothesis (SGH) predicts that competition and facilitation shift along stress gradients. We ask if the underlying mechanisms operate at specific points in plant life history, and if patterns ...
    • Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems 

      Rixen, Christian; Høye, Toke Thomas; Macek, Petr; Aerts, Rien; Alatalo, Juha; Andeson, Jill; Arnold, Pieter; Barrio, Isabel C.; Bjerke, Jarle W.; Björkman, Mats P.; Blok, Daan; Blume-werry, Gesche; Boike, Julia; Bokhorst, Stef; Carbognani, Michele; Christiansen, Casper Tai; Convey, Peter; Cooper, Elisabeth J.; Cornelissen, J.

      Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and ...
