Climate-driven marmot-plague dynamics in Mongolia and China
Lei Xu,Qian Wang,Ruifu Yang,D. Ganbold,N. Tsogbadrakh,K. Dong,Min Liu,Doniddemberel Altantogtokh,Qiyong Liu,Sainbileg Undrakhbold,Bazartseren Boldgiv,Wannian Liang,Nils Chr. Stenseth +12 more
TL;DR: This study examines the relationship between climate factors and plague dynamics in Mongolian and Chinese marmot populations, finding density-dependent effects of precipitation and temperature, with significant regional variations in temperature's influence on plague risk.
Preventing the collapse of the Baltic cod stock through an ecosystem-based management approach
TL;DR: Using a stochastic food-web model for a large marine ecosystem hosting a commercially important cod stock, the history of the stock is reconstructed and it is demonstrated that in hindsight the collapse could only have been avoidable by adapting fishing pressure to environmental conditions and food- web interactions.
Phase coupling and synchrony in the spatiotemporal dynamics of muskrat and mink populations across Canada
TL;DR: A phase-based method for identifying coupling between temporally coincident but spatially distributed cyclic time-series is reported on, which is applied to the numbers of muskrat and mink recorded at 81 locations across Canada.
Leaf economics fundamentals explained by optimality principles
Han Wang,I. Colin Prentice,Ian J. Wright,David I. Warton,Shengchao Qiao,Xiangtao Xu,Jian Zhou,Kihachiro Kikuzawa,Nils Chr. Stenseth +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that the life span of leaves increases with their mass per unit area (LMA), and that this empirical generalization is a consequence of natural selection, maximizing average net carbon gain over the leaf life cycle.
Good reindeer mothers live longer and become better in raising offspring
Robert B. Weladji,Jean-Michel Gaillard,Nigel G. Yoccoz,Øystein Holand,Atle Mysterud,Anne Loison,Mauri Nieminen,Nils Chr. Stenseth +7 more
TL;DR: This study reveals a more complex relationship between longevity and fitness in large mammals than the simple increase of the number of reproductive attempts when living longer.
