The potential for climate change to disrupt phenology‐mediated interactions in interaction
networks has attracted considerable attention in recent decades. Frequently, studies …

Buffering is a key phenomenon at all levels of biological organization. From individuals to
populations, communities and beyond, buffering mechanisms may enhance the persistence …

Established ecological theory has focused on unitary organisms, and thus its concepts have
matured into a form that often hinders rather than facilitates the ecological study of modular …

Mass mortality events (MMEs) of seabirds are becoming more frequent as the global climate
warms. Often documented via beached bird surveys, methods for estimating event-wide …

In their response letter, Gascoigne et al. propose a relevant approach to characterizing
ecological buffer mechanisms, akin to the study of buffer mechanisms in chemistry [1]. Their …

While multiple reasons make long-term demographic studies disproportionally valuable,
much of their importance comes from the ability to detect and quantify rare events. We argue …

Growth is a crucial life history trait in juvenile organisms that can influence survival and adult
reproductive capacity. In this thesis, I investigate how variation in growth and its trade-offs …

A central element of the department's research is the development and testing of ecological
theories and concepts. Stability concepts underpin most of our projects, for example the …
