• Adaptive host responses to infection can resemble parasitic manipulation 

      Jensen, Camilla Håkonsrud; Weidner, Jacqueline; Giske, Jarl; Jørgensen, Christian; Eliassen, Sigrunn; Mennerat, Adele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Using a dynamic optimisation model for juvenile fish in stochastic food environments, we investigate optimal hormonal regulation, energy allocation and foraging behaviour of a growing host infected by a parasite that only ...
    • Connecting the data landscape of long‐term ecological studies: The SPI‐Birds data hub 

      Culina, Antica; Adriaensen, Frank; Bailey, Liam D.; Burgess, Malcolm; Charmantier, Anne; Cole, Ella F; Eeva, Tapio; Matthysen, Erik; Nater, Chloe Rebecca; Sheldon, Ben C.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Vriend, Stefan J.G.; Zajkova, Zuzana; Adamik, Peter; Aplin, Lucy M.; Angulo, Elena; Artemyev, Alexandr; Barba, Emilio; Barišić, Sanja; Belda, Eduardo; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Bleu, Josefa; Both, Christiaan; Bouwhuis, Sandra; Branston, Claire J.; Broggi, Juli; Burke, Terry; Bushuev, Andrey; Camacho, Carlos; Campobello, Daniela; Canal, David; Cantarero, Alejandro; Caro, Samuel P.; Chaine, Alexis; Cauchoix, Maxime; Cichoń, Mariusz; Ćiković, Davor; Cusimano, Camillo A.; Deimel, Caroline; Dhondt, André A.; Dingemanse, Niels J.; Doligez, Blandine; Doutrelant, Claire; Drobniak, Szymon M.; Dubiec, Anna; Eens, Marcel; Erikstad, Kjell E; Espín, Silvia; Farine, Damien R.; Mennerat, Adele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas of science is drastically slowed and hindered by a lack of standards and networking programmes. Long‐term studies of individually marked animals are not an ...
    • The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the gender gap in research productivity within academia 

      Lee, Kiran GL; Mennerat, Adele; Lukas, Dieter; Dugdale, Hannah L; Culina, Antica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Using measures of research productivity to assess academic performance puts women at a disadvantage because gender roles and unconscious biases, operating both at home and in academia, can affect research productivity. The ...
    • Extra-pair paternity explains cooperation in a bird species 

      Krams, Indrikis A.; Mennerat, Adele; Krama, Tatjana; Krams, Ronalds; Joers, Priit; Elferts, Didzis; Luoto, Severi; Rantala, Markus J.; Eliassen, Sigrunn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      In many social animals, females mate with multiple males, but the adaptive value of female extra-pair mating is not fully understood. Here, we tested whether male pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) engaging in extra-pair ...
    • Invest more and die faster: The life history of a parasite on intensive farms 

      Mennerat, Adele; Ugelvik, Mathias Stølen; Jensen, Camilla Håkonsrud; Skorping, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)
      Organisms are expected to respond to alterations in their survival by evolutionary changes in their life history traits. As agriculture and aquaculture have become increasingly intensive in the past decades, there has been ...
    • Methods for tagging an ectoparasite, the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis 

      Folk, Alexius Werner Thomas; Mennerat, Adele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Monitoring individuals within populations is a cornerstone in evolutionary ecology, yet individual tracking of invertebrates and particularly parasitic organisms remains rare. To address this gap, we describe here a method ...
    • Parasite intensity is driven by temperature in a wild bird 

      Mennerat, Adele; Charmantier, Anne; Hurtrez-Boussès, Sylvie; Perret, Philippe; Lambrechts, Marcel M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Increasing awareness that parasitism is an essential component of nearly all aspects of ecosystem functioning, as well as a driver of biodiversity, has led to rising interest in the consequences of climate change in terms ...
    • When to reproduce? A new answer to an old question 

      Skorping, Arne; Jensen, Knut Helge; Mennerat, Adele; Högstedt, Göran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04)
      We present a life-history model based on the assumptions that juvenile survival follows a negative exponential function and that fecundity gain increases linearly with time to maturity. This model predicts that the optimal ...
