Comparative response of Rangifer tarandus and other northern ungulates to climatic variability (2002, background): “Winters with a high NAO index also led to increasingly male biased sex ratios of offspring, independent of changes in the mean age of hinds (Post et al., 1999b; Mysterud et al., 2000; Table 2; see also discussion above).”
Large‐scale habitat variability, delayed density effects and red deer populations in Norway (2002, unknown): “Materials and methods The study area is the western part of southern Norway, which is the main area for red deer in Norway (Mysterud et al. 2000).”
Time as a constraint on group size in spider monkeys (2006, unknown): “Many studies have indeed noted a relationship between climate variables and animal density, social systems and various life history traits (e.g. Gevaerts 1992; Dasilva 1993; Kay et al. 1997; Post et al. 1999; Fisher and Owens 2000; Hill et al. 2000; Mysterud et al. 2000; Erasmus et al. 2002; Post an”
Demography and population dynamics in the elephants Loxodonta africana of Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa: is there evidence of density dependent regulation? (2006, background): “Changes in the birth sex ratio have been attributed to density dependence (Kruuk et al., 1999; Mysterud et al., 2000).”
Litter size and fetal sex ratio adjustment in a highly polytocous species: the wild boar (2007, background): “…West 2004), and 3) possible confounding influences of environmental variation, including both extrinsic modification due to climate (Post et al. 1999; Mysterud et al. 2000; but see Weladji and Holand 2003) and a decrease in the proportion of males born with increasing population density (Kruuk et…”
The response of fawn survival to changes in habitat quality varies according to cohort quality and spatial scale (2005, background): “Scale has been demonstrated as being a key determinant of ecological patterns and processes (Levin 1992), and the results obtained at different scales can be conflicting (Mysterud et al. 2000).”
Climate‐dependent allocation of resources to secondary sexual traits in red deer (2005, methodology): “We standardized (mean 0, variance 1) the relevant predictor variables to facilitate the interpretation of the interaction and polynomial terms (Mysterud et al. 2000, 2001c).”
Temporal variation in the number of car-killed red deer Cervus elaphus in Norway (2004, background): “The scale may be important for the patterns observed (in general: e.g. Wiens 1989, and for red deer in Norway see Mysterud et al. 2000).”

Weather packages: finding the right scale and composition of climate in ecology (2005, background): “The spatial window component of climate (Mysterud et al. 2000; Pettorelli et al. 2005) provides an alternative mechanism for explaining why the NAO may better explain the dynamics of animal populations than local climate at a single weather station (e.”
Climate affects seabird population dynamics both via reproduction and adult survival (2012, background): “…species (Kitaysky & Golubova 2000, Jenouvrier et al. 2005a, Sandvik et al. 2005, Sandvik & Erik stad 2008, Sæther & Engen 2010b), but also between different populations of the same species (Mysterud et al. 2000, Sæther et al. 2003, Harris et al. 2005, Sandvik et al. 2008a, Grøtan et al. 2009).”

Ecological effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation (2001, background): “This positive correlation was based on meteorological data from a station located above 400 m. Mysterud et al. (2000) found, however, a negative correlation between the NAO and snow depth at altitudes below 400 m, where the deer stay over the winter (Albon and Langvatn 1992).”
