    • Circum-Arctic distribution of chemical anti-herbivore compounds suggests biome-wide trade-off in defence strategies in Arctic shrubs 

      Lindén, Elin; te Beest, Mariska; Aubreu, Ilka; Moritz, Thomas; Sundqvist, Maja K.; Barrio, Isabel C.; Boike, Julia; Bryant, John P.; Bråthen, Kari Anne; Buchwal, Agata; Bueno, C. Guillermo; Currier, Alain; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Forbes, Bruce C.; Hallinger, Martin; Heijmans, Monique; Hermanutz, Luise; Hik, David S.; Hofgaard, Annika; Holmgren, Milena; Huebner, Diane C.; Høye, Toke T.; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg S.; Kaarlejärvi, Elina; Kissler, Emilie; Kumpula, Timo; Limpens, Juul; Myers-Smith, Isla H.; Normand, Signe; Post, Eric; Rocha, Adrian V.; Schmidt, Niels Martin; Skarin, Anna; Soininen, Eeva M; Sokolov, Aleksandr; Sokolova, Natalia; Speed, James David Mervyn; Street, Lorna E.; Tananaev, Nikita; Tremblay, Jean-Pierre; Urbanowicz, Christine; Watts, David A.; Zimmermann, Heike H.; Olofsson, Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ...

    • Colonization and extinction lags drive non-linear responses to warming in mountain plant communities across the Northern Hemisphere 

      Bektaş, Billur; Chisholm, Chelsea; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Lynn, Joshua; Block, Sebastián; Deola, Thomas; Dommanget, Fanny; Enquist, Brian J.; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Haider, Sylvia; Halbritter, Aud Helen; He, Yongtao; Jaunatre, Renaud; Jentsch, Anke; Klanderud, Kari; Kardol, Paul; Lachmuth, Susanne; Loucougaray, Gregory; Münkemüller, Tamara; Niedrist, Georg; Nomoto, Hanna; Seltzer, Lorah; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Rew, Lisa J.; Seipel, Tim; Shah, Manzoor A.; Telford, Richard James; Walker, Tom W.N.; Wang, Shiping; Wardle, David A.; Wolff, Peter; Yang, Yan; Vandvik, Vigdis; Alexander, Jake M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Global warming is changing plant communities due to the arrival of new species from warmer regions and declining abundance of cold-adapted species. However, experimentally testing predictions about trajectories and rates ...

    • distantia: an open-source toolset to quantify dissimilarity between multivariate ecological time-series 

      Benito De Pando, Blas Manuel; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      There is a large array of methods to extract knowledge and perform ecological forecasting from ecological time‐series. However, in spite of its importance for data‐mining, pattern‐matching and ecological synthesis, methods ...

    • Ecological memory at millennial time-scales: the importance of data constraints, species longevity and niche features 

      Benito De Pando, Blas Manuel; Gil-Romera, Graciela; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Ecological memory describes how antecedent conditions drive the dynamics of an ecological system. Palaeoecological records are paramount to understand ecological memory at millennial time‐scales, but the concept is widely ...

    • More than what they eat: uncoupled biophysical constraints underlie geographic patterns of herbivory 

      Lynn, Joshua Scott; Fridley, Jason D.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Herbivory rates have classically been hypothesized to decrease from the tropics towards higher latitudes because the more benign abiotic conditions in tropical systems foster greater ecosystem complexity including greater ...

    • Plant functional group interactions intensify with warming in alpine grasslands 

      Jaroszynska, Francesca Orinda Holl; Olsen, Siri Lie; Gya, Ragnhild; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard James; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Plant–plant interactions regulate plant community structure and function. Shifts in these interactions due to global climate change, mediated through disproportional increases of certain species or functional groups, may ...

    • Predator–prey overlap in three dimensions: cod benefit from capelin coming near the seafloor 

      Fall, Johanna Jennifer Elisabeth; Johannesen, Edda; Englund, Göran; Johansen, Geir Odd; Fiksen, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Spatial overlap between predator and prey is a prerequisite for predation, but the degree of overlap is not necessarily proportional to prey consumption. This is because many of the behavioural processes that precede ...

    • Reliability of presence-only data for assessing plant community responses to climate warming 

      Riano, Laura Camila Pacheco; Rumpf, Sabine; Maliniemi, Tuija; Flantua, Suzette; Grytnes, John Arvid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Climate warming has triggered shifts in plant distributions, resulting in changes within communities, characterized by an increase in warm-demanding species and a decrease in cold-adapted species – referred to as ...

    • Trophic interactions and abiotic factors drive functional and phylogenetic structure of vertebrate herbivore communities across the Arctic tundra biome 

      Speed, James David Mervyn; Skjelbred, Ina Åsnes; Barrio, Isabel C.; Martin, Michael David; Berteaux, Dominique; Bueno, Guillermo; Christie, Katie; Forbes, Bruce C.; Forbey, Jennifer; Fortin, Daniel; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Hoset, Katrine Skamfer; Lecomte, Nicolas; Marteinsdottir, Bryndis; Mosbacher, Jesper Bruun; Pedersen, Åshild Ø.; Ravolainen, Virve; Rees, Eileen C.; Skarin, Anna; Sokolova, Natalya; Thornhill, Andrew H; Tombre, Ingunn; Soininen, Eeva M (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Communities are assembled from species that evolve or colonise a given geographic region, and persist in the face of abiotic conditions and interactions with other species. The evolutionary and colonisation histories of ...

    • Upward shift in elevational plant species ranges in Sikkilsdalen, Central Norway 

      Felde, Vivian A.; Kapfer, Jutta; Grytnes, John-Arvid (Journal article, 2012)
      Phytosociological studies are an important tool to detect temporal vegetation changes in response to global climate change. In this study, we present the results of a resurvey of a plot-based phytosociological study from ...
