Late Lunch Talk by Vikash Pandey from CEES
Late Lunch Talk by Kristina Øie Kvile from CEES
Sex differences in vital rates and mate availability can have important effects on population- and evolutionary dynamics. These effects and how they vary depending on mating strategies can be explored with extensions to traditional matrix models.
Late Lunch Talk by Tom Oosting from Victoria University of Wellington
We welcome you to two open lectures! Spencer C. H. Barrett on "Plant sex and the foundations of evolutionary biology", and Anja C. Andersen on "The importance of scientific integrity". This event is part of the University’s annual celebration.
Integral projection models (IPMs) are population models structured by continuous traits such as body size, and have risen in popularity over the last decade. While most perturbation analyses developed for matrix models can be applied, additional considerations are necessary when working with IPMs.

Recent work has highlighted the importance of including individual heterogeneity into population models. This includes both traits that are fixed over the lifespan of an individual (e.g. morphology, genotype) and characteristics that change over time (e.g. age, body conditions). How influential such traits are for individual fitness (and population dynamics), may however depend on sex.
Friday, March 23rd, we will discuss a recent paper by Outomuro et al (2016): Antagonistic natural and sexual selection on wing shape in a scrambling damselfly Join us!
Stage structure is fundamental in quantitative population models, but there are different approaches to deal with stage duration and individual-/cohort variation therein.
Friday, March 16th, we will discuss a recent paper by Revell et al (2018): Comparing evolutionary rates between trees, clades and traits
Join us!
Late Lunch Talk by Albína Hulda Pálsdóttir, CEES & Melak Weldenegodguad, University of Eastern Finland and Researcher at Luke
Late Lunch Talk doubleheader. We will have talks by Sam Walkerand and Hanneke Meijer (University Museum Bergen).
Friday, March 2nd, we will discuss a recent paper by Du et al (2018): Pattern and process in hominin brain size evolution are scale-dependent
Join us!
Late Lunch Talk by Mark Ravinet, CEES.
Welcome to the annual Darwin Day celebration at the University of Oslo! This open event is for everybody interested in science and history. All are welcome! Lectures by C. Jessica E. Metcalf, Carla Saleh, Dieter Ebert, Olivia Roth and Sophie Vanwambeke. The event is part of the Oslo Life Science Conference 12–15 February 2018.
Differences between individuals can be large and have profound consequences for the dynamics of populations. Even if such differences have unknown causes and/or are unobservable, they can be incorporated into population models, allowing to assess their impacts on population-level patterns.
Friday, February 2nd, we will discuss a recent paper by Rolland et al (2018): The impact of endothermy on the climatic niche evolution and the distribution of vertebrate diversity
Join us!
Friday, January 19th, we will discuss a recent paper by Peiman and Robinson (2017): Comparative Analyses of Phenotypic Trait Covariation within and among Populations
Join us!
This Thursday, there will be no Speciation Journal Club, instead, we all welcome you to a full day of hybridization and speciation! A symposium supported by IBV, CEES and EVOGENE.
The symposium will feature two prominent young researchers in the field, Joana Meier (University of Bern, Switzerland) & Mario Vallejo-Marin (University of Stirling, UK). We have previously discussed some of their papers at the Speciation Journal Club, but they will also discuss some of their latest unpublished research.
If you wish to meet with Joana or Mario on friday, please contact me or one of the other organizers.

Late Lunch Talk by Hernán E. Morales, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
This Thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper using demographic modeling to trace the origin(s) of hybrid cichlid species by Meier et al. published in 2017 in Molecular Ecology.
