      The European Union (EU) Habitats Directive requires Member States to monitor and maintain at favourable conservation status those species identified to be in need of protection, including all cetaceans. In July 2005 we ...
    • North Sea sensitivity to atmospheric forcing 

      Skogen, Morten D.; Drinkwater, Ken; Hjøllo, Solfrid Sætre; Schrum, Corinna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-04)
      The sensitivity of North Sea physics and phytoplankton production to atmospheric forcing has been studied by performing perturbations of the atmospheric forcing fields through a number of model simulations. The perturbations ...
    • Population dynamics of cod Gadus morhua in the North Sea region: biological density-dependent and climatic density-independent effects 

      Chen, Qingxian; Chan, Kung-Sik; Lekve, Kyrre; Torstensen, Else; Gjøsæter, Jakob; Ottersen, Geir; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005-11-04)
      Through the statistical modeling of monitoring data, we assess the ecological interlinkages between cod Gadus morhua L. in the North Sea, Skagerrak and Kattegat—regions which typically have been considered separate management ...
    • Wasp-Waist Interactions in the North Sea Ecosystem 

      Fauchald, Per; Skov, Henrik; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette; Johns, David; Tveraa, Torkild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-07-28)
      Background In a “wasp-waist” ecosystem, an intermediate trophic level is expected to control the abundance of predators through a bottom-up interaction and the abundance of prey through a top-down interaction. Previous ...
