Spatial synchrony in population dynamics
Article Abstract:
Spatial synchrony refers to coincident changes in the abundance or other time-varying characteristics of geographically disjunct populations. Clarifying the mechanisms behind spatial synchrony could ultimately provide critical information for understanding and managing species conservation, pest outbreaks, and disease epidemiology.

Masting and trophic cascades: interplay between rowan trees, apple fruit moth, and their parasitoid in southern Norway
Article Abstract:
Berry production in rowan, Sorbus aucuparia L., in southern Norway is analyzed, and the effects of rowan masting on the dynamics of the dominant seed predator and its parasitoid are examined. The results indicate that the presence of adaptive foundation in rowan masting affects the dynamics of higher trophic levels.
