• Bootstrapping outperforms community-weighted approaches for estimating the shapes of phenotypic distributions 

      Maitner, Brian S.; Halbritter Rechsteiner, Aud Helen; Telford, Richard James; Strydom, Tanya; Chacon, Julia; Lamanna, Christine; Sloat, Lindsey L.; Kerkhoff, Andrew J.; Messier, Julie; Rasmussen, Nick; Pomati, Francesco; Merz, Ewa; Vandvik, Vigdis; Enquist, Brian J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      1. Estimating phenotypic distributions of populations and communities is central to many questions in ecology and evolution. These distributions can be characterized by their moments (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) ...
    • Bryophytes dominate plant regulation of soil microclimate in alpine grasslands 

      Jaroszynska, Francesca Orinda Holl; Althuizen, Inge; Halbritter Rechsteiner, Aud Helen; Klanderud, Kari; Lee, Hanna; Telford, Richard James; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Soil temperature and moisture are important regulators of a broad range of biotic and abiotic processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Vegetation can, in turn, play a role in regulating soil microclimate, which creates potential ...
    • Close to open—Factors that hinder and promote open science in ecology research and education 

      Strømme, Christian Bianchi; Lane, A. Kelly; Halbritter, Aud Helen; Law, Elizabeth; Nater, Chloé Rebecca; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Boutouli, Grace D.; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Telford, Richard James; Vandvik, Vigdis; Cotner, Sehoya Harris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-21)
      The Open Science (OS) movement is rapidly gaining traction among policy-makers, research funders, scientific journals and individual scientists. Despite these tendencies, the pace of implementing OS throughout the scientific ...
    • Macroecological context predicts species' responses to climate warming 

      Lynn, Joshua Scott; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard James; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Context-dependencies in species' responses to the same climate change frustrate attempts to generalize and make predictions based on experimental and observational approaches in biodiversity science. Here, we propose ...
    • Multiscale mapping of plant functional groups and plant traits in the High Arctic using field spectroscopy, UAV imagery and Sentinel-2A data 

      Thomson, Eleanor R.; Spiegel, Marcus P.; Althuizen, Inge; Bass, Polly; Chen, Shuli; Chmurzynski, Adam; Rechsteiner, Aud Helen Halbritter; Henn, Jonathan J.; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg S.; Klanderud, Kari; Li, Yaoqi; Maitner, Brian S.; Michaletz, Sean T.; Niittynen, Pekka; Roos, Ruben Erik; Telford, Richard James; Enquist, Brian J.; Vandvik, Vigdis; Macias-Fauria, Marc; Malhi, Yadvinder (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation composition and trait distributions ...
    • Reversals in Temperature-Precipitation Correlations in the Northern Hemisphere Extratropics During the Holocene 

      Herzschuh, Ulrike; Böhmer, Thomas; Li, Chenzhi; Cao, Xianyong; Hébert, Raphaël; Dallmeyer, Anne; Telford, Richard James; Kruse, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Future precipitation levels remain uncertain because climate models have struggled to reproduce observed variations in temperature-precipitation correlations. Our analyses of Holocene proxy-based temperature-precipitation ...
    • The role of plant functional groups mediating climate impacts on carbon and biodiversity of alpine grasslands 

      Vandvik, Vigdis; Althuizen, Inge; Jaroszynska, Francesca; Krüger, Linn Cecilie; Lee, Hanna; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Klanderud, Kari; Olsen, Siri Lie; Telford, Richard James; Hjortland Östman, Silje Andrea; Busca, Sara; Dahle, Ingrid Johnsen; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Geange, Sonya Rita; Gya, Ragnhild; Lynn, Joshua Scott; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Young, Sherry; Halbritter Rechsteiner, Aud Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Plant removal experiments allow assessment of the role of biotic interactions among species or functional groups in community assembly and ecosystem functioning. When replicated along climate gradients, they can assess ...
    • 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 ...
