• Antler growth as a cost of reproduction in female reindeer 

      Loe, Leif Egil; Pigeon, Gabriel; Albon, Steve D.; Giske, Pernille Andrine Eriksdatter; Irvine, R. Justin; Ropstad, Erik; Stien, Audun; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Mysterud, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The costs of reproduction are important in shaping individual life histories, and hence population dynamics, but the mechanistic pathways of such costs are often unknown. Female reindeer have evolved antlers possibly due ...
    • Circadian rhythmicity persists through the Polar night and midnight sun in Svalbard reindeer 

      Arnold, Walter; Ruf, Thomas; Loe, Leif Egil; Irvine, R. Justin; Ropstad, Erik; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Albon, Steve D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    • Circadian rhythmicity persists through the Polar night and midnight sun in Svalbard reindeer 

      Arnold, Walter; Ruf, Thomas; Loe, Leif Egil; Irvine, R. Justin; Ropstad, Erik; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Albon, Steve D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Studies of locomotor activity in Svalbard reindeer reported the temporary absence of diel rhythms under Arctic photic conditions. However, using Lomb-Scargle periodogram analyses with high statistical power we found diel ...
    • Contrasting effects of summer and winter warming onbody mass explain population dynamics in a food-limitedArctic herbivore 

      Albon, Steve D.; Irvine, R. Justin; Halvorsen, Odd; Langvatn, Rolf; Loe, Leif Egil; Ropstad, Erik; Veiberg, Vebjørn; van der Wal, René; Bjørkvoll, Eirin Marie; Duff, Elizabeth I.; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Lee, Aline Magdalena; Tveraa, Torkild; Stien, Audun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The cumulative effects of climate warming on herbivore vital rates and population dynamics are hard to predict, given that the expected effects differ between seasons. In the Arctic, warmer summers enhance plant growth ...
    • Determinants of heart rate in Svalbard reindeer reveal mechanisms of seasonal energy management 

      Trondrud, Liv Monica; Pigeon, Gabriel; Albon, Steve; Arnold, Walter; Evans, Alina; Irvine, R. Justin; Król, Elżbieta; Ropstad, Erik; Stien, Audun; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Speakman, John R.; Loe, Leif Egil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
    • Fat storage influences fasting endurance more than body size in an ungulate 

      Trondrud, Liv Monica; Pigeon, Gabriel; Król, Elżbieta; Albon, Steve; Evans, Alina; Arnold, Walter; Hambly, Catherine; Irvine, R. Justin; Ropstad, Erik; Stien, Audun; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Speakman, John R.; Loe, Leif Egil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The fasting endurance hypothesis (FEH) predicts strong selection for large body size in mammals living in environments where food supply is interrupted over prolonged periods of time. The Arctic is a highly seasonal and ...
    • Silver spoon effects are constrained under extreme adult environmental conditions 

      Pigeon, Gabriel; Loe, Leif Egil; Bischof, Richard; Bonenfant, Christophe; Forchhammer, Mads C.; Irvine, R. Justin; Ropstad, Erik; Stien, Audun; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Albon, Steve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Early-life environmental conditions may generate cohort differences in individual fitness, subsequently affecting population growth rates. Three, nonmutually exclusive hypotheses predict the nature of these fitness ...
    • Stress responses to repeated captures in a wild ungulate 

      Trondrud, Liv Monica; Ugland, Cassandra Regine; Ropstad, Erik; Loe, Leif Egil; Albon, Steve; Stien, Audun; Evans, Alina; Thorsby, Per Medbøe; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Irvine, R. Justin; Pigeon, Gabriel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
    • Stress responses to repeated captures in a wild ungulate 

      Trondrud, Liv Monica; Ugland, Cassandra Regine; Ropstad, Erik; Loe, Leif Egil; Albon, Steve; Stien, Audun; Evans, Alina; Thorsby, Per Medbøe; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Irvine, R. Justin; Pigeon, Gabriel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    • The influence of weather conditions during gestation on life histories in a wild Arctic ungulate 

      Douhard, Mathieu; Loe, Leif Egil; Stien, Audun; Bonenfant, Christophe; Irvine, R. Justin; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Ropstad, Erik; Albon, Steve D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The internal predictive adaptive response (internal PAR) hypothesis predicts that individuals born in poor conditions should start to reproduce earlier if they are likely to have reduced performance in later life. However, ...
