Scientific
projects Causes
and consequences of spatio-temporal life history variation in
semi-domesticated reindeer (PhD-project financed by NFR)
Spatio-temporal variation in the abundance of ptarmigans in Finnmark - causes and consequences
The objective of this project is to investigate how the impact of
external factors like density, climate and hunting affects the population dynamics of rock and willow ptarmigan.
The project is connected to the larger project Ecosystem Finnmark (Project description and homepage), and is in cooperation with Åshild Ø. Pedersen, Rolf A. Ims & Nigel G. Yoccoz.
