This Friday the 26th of February we will discuss a paper from Sieg at al. 2009: "Mammalian metabolic allometry: do intraspecific variation, phylogeny, and regression models matter?"
Please mind the change of location, we will be permanently moving to the "Aquarium" (3rd floor, 3302).
This week we will look at a paper that investigated the connection between autocorrelation and individual heterogeneity, as well as the consequences of ignoring them. Furthermore, we will discuss how to handle these two issues, particularly BEFORE diving too deep into analyses.
This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper on how gene flow from North Africa contributes to differential human genetic diversity in southern Europe, by Botigué et al. 2013
This Friday the 19th of February we will discuss a paper from Jaeger and Monk, 2014: "Bioattractors: dynamical systems theory and the evolution of regulatory processes". Please mind the change of location, we will be permanently moving to the "Aquarium" (3rd floor, 3302).
By Johan Höjesjö from University of Gothenburg, Sweden
This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper on the extent of parallelism in genomic divergence in cichlid adaptive radiations by Mc Gee et al. 2016 in Molecular Ecology.
Regulation of STAMP2 by Proinflammatory Cytokines in Prostate Cancer Cells
Popular science lecture by author and researcher Marlene Zuk from University of Minnesota
Welcome to the 11th annual Darwin Day celebration at the university of Oslo! This open event is for everybody interested in science and history. All are welcome! Speakers: Richard E. Lenski, Ludovic A. A. Orlando, Peter Zimmerman and Marlene Zuk.
We will discuss the basics underlying the construction and analysis of Integral Projection Models (IPMs), a class of structured population models which allow the inclusion of continuous individual covariates such as body size.
In doing so, we discuss a recent paper coming from our midst with an interesting extension of the standard IPM methodology:
"Individual heterogeneity in life histories and eco-evolutionary dynamics" (Vindenes & Langangen, 2015)

Open for students and researchers at IBV. Send an email to n.c.stenseth@ibv.uio.no & tore.wallem@ibv.uio.no if you would like to participate.
CEES Extra seminar by Richard Lenski
Sandra Gran Stadniczenko (PhD student, AQUA)
The journal club is back and this Friday 5th of February we will start with a paper from 2015 on Tempo and Mode in phylogenetic comparative methods (Kaliontzopoulou and Adams). Same time and place!
