Sixty years of environmental change in the world's largest freshwater lake – Lake Baikal, Siberia (2008, background): “Climatic indices, such as AO and ENSO, may usefully ‘package’ weather effects ( Stenseth & Mysterud, 2005 ) in a manner not otherwise reflected in available Baikal data.”
Role of winter temperature and climate change on the survival and future range expansion of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) in eastern North America (2008, background): “demonstrated by Stenseth and Mysterud (2005). Detailed projections can be further complicated by other factors, including environmental aspects of the region (such as forest structure, composition, and fragmentation), as well as the impact of individual extreme cold events on HWA mortality.”
Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “Macroevolution: evolutionary change at or above the species level throughout the period, weakening the apparent signal of climate on biological response (Barnosky & Carrasco 2002, Stenseth & Mysterud 2005).”
Berry production drives bottom – up effects on body mass and reproductive success in an omnivore (2018, background): “Th e scale at which to measure climate in space and time and the composition of diff erent weather variables present considerable challenges in ecology (Stenseth and Mysterud 2005).”
Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “…such as the NAO or ENSO, have received much attention due to their ability to assess general climatic conditions over large areas (Holmgren et al. 2001, Ottersen et al. 2001, Blenckner & Hillebrand 2002, Hallett et al. 2002, Stenseth et al. 2003, Forchhammer & Post 2004, Stenseth & Mysterud 2005).”
What regulate and limit reindeer populations in Norway (2007, background): “We focused on AO as the variable predicting the impact of annual winter climate severity because large scale climate indices seem to better predict the impact of climate on ecological processes than local weather (Hallett et al. 2004, Stenseth and Mysterud 2005 ).”
Predicting phenology by integrating ecology, evolution and climate science (2011, background): “…(e.g. temperature and precipitation) because they integrate many weather variables that influence phenology over seasons and interannual timescales (Beaubien & Freeland, 2000; Stenseth & Mysterud, 2005; Vicente-Serrano et al., 2006) and can capture abrupt shifts in climate (Cayan et al. 2001).”
Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “…phenomenon, and, consequently, the association of any ecological parameter with the NAO is expected to be comparably weak (but see 31 Clim Res 35: 25–35, 2007 Hallett et al. 2004, Stenseth & Mysterud 2005); thus any differences between long- and short-distance migrants may have been obscured.”
