Understanding how living organisms respond and adapt to environmental changes remains a major and urgent scientific challenge. CEES combines a broad spectrum of disciplines – such as population biology, statistical and mathematical modelling, and genomics – to foster the concept of ecology as a driving force of evolution via selective processes, with a corresponding influence of evolutionary changes on ecology.

The Collapse of Atlantic Cod in the Oslofjord
Atlantic cod in the Oslofjord have been declining for years, leading the Norwegian government to close large parts of the fjord to fishing from 2026. However, few quantitative estimates of how much the population had fallen have been available. A recent study (Langangen et al. 2026) from the Department of Biosciences at UiO addresses that gap.
