Evolution of resource specialisation in competitive metacommunities Journal Article

abstract = {Abstract Spatial environmental heterogeneity coupled with dispersal can promote ecological persistence of diverse metacommunities. Does this premise hold when metacommunities evolve? Using a two-resource competition model, we studied the evolution of resource-uptake specialisation as a function of resource type (substitutable to essential) and shape of the trade-off between resource uptake affinities (generalist- to specialist-favouring). In spatially homogeneous environments, evolutionarily stable coexistence of consumers is only possible for sufficiently substitutable resources and specialist-favouring trade-offs. Remarkably, these same conditions yield comparatively low diversity in heterogeneous environments, because they promote sympatric evolution of two opposite resource specialists that, together, monopolise the two resources everywhere. Consumer diversity is instead maximised for intermediate trade-offs and clearly substitutable or clearly essential resources, where evolved metacommunities are characterised by contrasting selection regimes. Taken together, our results present new insights into resource-competition-mediated evolutionarily stable diversity in homogeneous and heterogeneous environments, which should be applicable to a wide range of systems.},

Climate change may enable Aedes aegypti infestation in major European cities by 2100 Journal Article
In: Environmental Research, vol. 172, pp. 693-699, 2019.

date = {2019-02-16},
journal = {Environmental Research},
volume = {172},
pages = {693-699},
abstract = {Background: Climate change allows Aedes aegypti to infest new areas. Consequently, it enables the arboviruses the mosquito transmits -- e.g., dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever - to emerge in previously uninfected areas. An example is the Portuguese island of Madeira during 2012-13.
Objective: We aim to understand how climate change will affect the future spread of this potent vector, as an aid in assessing the risk of disease outbreaks and effectively allocating resources for vector control.
Methods: We used an empirically-informed, process-based mathematical model to study the feasibility of Aedes aegypti infestation into continental Europe. Based on established global climate-change scenario data, we assess the potential of Aedes aegypti to establish in Europe over the 21st century by estimating the vector population growth rate for five climate models (GCM5).
Results: In a low carbon emission future (RCP2.6), we find minimal change to the current situation throughout the whole of the 21st century. In a high carbon future (RCP8.5), a large parts of southern Europe risks being invaded by Aedes aegypti.
Conclusion: Our results show that successfully enforcing the Paris Agreement by limiting global warming to below 2 °C significantly lowers the risk for infestation of Aedes aegypti and consequently of potential large-scale arboviral disease outbreaks in Europe within the 21st century.},

abstract = {Our planet is changing at paces never observed before. Species extinction is happening at faster rates than ever, greatly exceeding the five mass extinctions in the fossil record. Nevertheless, our lives are strongly based on services provided by ecosystems, thus the responses to global change of our natural heritage are of immediate concern. Understanding the relationship between complexity and stability of ecosystems is of key importance for the maintenance of the balance of human growth and the conservation of all the natural services that ecosystems provide. Mathematical network models can be used to simplify the vast complexity of the real world, to formally describe and investigate ecological phenomena, and to understand ecosystems propensity of returning to its functioning regime after a stress or a perturbation. The use of ecological-network models to study the relationship between complexity and stability of natural ecosystems is the focus of this review. The concept of ecological networks and their characteristics are first introduced, followed by central and occasionally contrasting definitions of complexity and stability. The literature on the relationship between complexity and stability in different types of models and in real ecosystems is then reviewed, highlighting the theoretical debate and the lack of consensual agreement. The summary of the importance of this line of research for the successful management and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services concludes the review.},

The world around us with its rich biology and complex human societies results from complex dynamics that takes place at different time scales, including rapid individual changes, slow demographic changes, and even slower evolutionary changes. Together with colleagues nationally and internationally, Åke Brännström applies and develops mathematical and computational techniques to explore the aforementioned processes and the dynamics they give rise to. Much of his work is on questions in theoretical ecology and on understanding the evolution of cooperation.
Being a founding member of IceLab, he has for long been interested in applying mathematics to elucidate and understand ecological and evolutionary processes. During his doctoral studies, he investigated how mathematical population models can be derived from mechanistic assumptions of individual behavior and how they are influenced by competition, clustering, and spatial structure. After completing his PhD studies in 2004, he broadened his horizons to include evolutionary studies through postdoctoral studies in Austria and Japan. He is a guest research scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and have several ongoing international collaborative efforts with researchers at the institute. Since October 2017, he is a full professor of interdisciplinary mathematics at Umeå University.
