      Ancient DNA provides a powerful means to investigate the timing, rate and extent of population declines caused by extrinsic factors, such as past climate change and human activities. One species probably affected by both ...
    • 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 ...
