Friday seminar by Robert Serrouya from Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute, Edmonton, Canada
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
The inaugural Oslo Symposium on Ecology, Evolution, and Genomics will be held on Thursday, 30 August 2018. The theme is: “Bridging the Fundamentals of Ecology, Evolution, and Genomics: Challenges and Solutions”. The co-organisers are CEES Chair Nils Chr. Stenseth and CEES Researcher Jeffrey Hutchings (Dalhousie University, Canada).

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.
Late Lunch Talk by Tormod Burkey, visiting scientist at CEES.
Late Lunch Talk by Dr. Jennifer Sorensen Forbey from Boise State University
Speakers: Eörs Szathmáry, Ferenc Jordan, and András Báldi. [Update: Gabor Foldvari's talk on "Urban ecology of tick-borne diseases: how to anticipate?" has been moved to Wednesday 25 April.]
By Gabor Foldvari, Department of Parasitology and Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine, Budapest
By Dr. Han Wang, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, Yangling and Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Late Lunch Talk by John Christian Gaby from NMBU
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.
By Erik Svensson, professor in evolutionary ecology at Lund University, Sweden.
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.
