The Theoretical Ecology Group is a joint research group of the University of Bergen, Uni Research, and the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen Marine Research Cluster, hosted by Department of Biology at UiB.

Our aim is to understand how processes at the level of individuals drive dynamics of populations and communities. We focus on individual trade-offs and use trait-based models to explain ecological and evolutionary patterns. Please navigate through our pages to read more about our Research, our Publications, and us.

We organize a weekly seminar series on Marine Ecological Modelling.

The group is well connected and networked. It is a node in the Nordic Centre of Excellence NorMER - Nordic Centre for Research on Marine Ecosystems and Resources under Climate Change. We are also member of the EU COST action Conservation Physiology of Marine Fishes.

	Featured Article in MEPS: Internal Waves and Vertical Migrations Dag L. Aksnes is coauthor of the Featured Article in the current issue of Marine Ecology Progress Series. The paper shows how internal waves vary the thickness of a turbid surface layer, causes a fluctuation in light intensity of 3 to 4 orders of magnitude, leading fish to migrate vertically, but now with a period of 30 min instead of 1 day.
