Density-dependent selection and the maintenance of colour polymorphism in barn owls
Kvalnes, Thomas; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Engen, Steinar; Roulin, Alexandre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The capacity of natural selection to generate adaptive changes is (according to the fundamental theorem of natural selection) proportional to the additive genetic variance in fitness. In spite of its importance for development ... -
Spatial variation in the evolutionary potential and constraints of basal metabolic rate and body mass in a wild bird
Nafstad, Ådne Messel; Rønning, Bernt; Aase, Kenneth; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Ranke, Peter Sjolte; Kvalnes, Thomas; Stawski, Clare; Räsänen, Katja; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Muff, Stefanie; Jensen, Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An organism's energy budget is strongly related to resource consumption, performance, and fitness. Hence, understanding the evolution of key energetic traits, such as basal metabolic rate (BMR), in natural populations is ...
