    • Catastrophic dynamics limit Atlantic cod recovery 

      Sguotti, Camilla; Otto, Saskia A; Frelat, Romain; Langbehn, Tom; Plambech Ryberg, M; Lindegren, Martin; Durant, Joel Marcel; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Möllmann, Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-13)
      Collapses and regime changes are pervasive in complex systems (such as marine ecosystems) governed by multiple stressors. The demise of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) stocks constitutes a text book example of the consequences ...

    • The emotion system promotes diversity and evolvability 

      Giske, Jarl; Eliassen, Sigrunn; Fiksen, Øyvind; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Mangel, Marc; Jørgensen, Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-06)
      Studies on the relationship between the optimal phenotype and its environment have had limited focus on genotype-to-phenotype pathways and their evolutionary consequences. Here, we study how multi-layered trait architecture ...

    • Palm fruit colours are linked to the broad-scale distribution and diversification of primate colour vision systems 

      Onstein, Renske E; Vink, Daphne N.; Veen, Jorin; Barratt, Christopher D.; Flantua, Suzette; Wich, Serge A.; Kissling, W. Daniel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      A long-standing hypothesis in ecology and evolution is that trichromatic colour vision (the ability to distinguish red from green) in frugivorous primates has evolved as an adaptation to detect conspicuous (reddish) fruits. ...

    • Size-selective harvesting affects the immunocompetence of guppies exposed to the parasite Gyrodactylus 

      Bartuseviciute, Vitalija; Pauli, Beatriz Diaz; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Harvesting is typically size-selective, targeting large individuals. This is expected to lead to reduced average body size and earlier maturation (i.e. faster life histories). Such changes can also affect traits seemingly ...

    • Temperature-associated selection linked to putative chromosomal inversions in king scallop (Pecten maximus) 

      Hollenbeck, Christopher M.; Portnoy, David S.; de la Serrana, Daniel Garcia; Magnesen, Thorolf; Matejusova, Iveta; Johnston, Ian A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The genomic landscape of divergence—the distribution of differences among populations or species across the genome—is increasingly characterized to understand the role that microevolutionary forces such as natural selection ...
