About

Professor James D. M. Speed

My research involves a range of taxa from vascular plants and bryophytes to invertebrates, birds and mammalian herbivores. I work at a range of scales, from the individual to the biome, with short term experiments to palaeoecology, and from local scale patterns to regional and biome scale processes. Developing interests are biogeography and ecoinformatics. I have worked in environments from the high-arctic and temperate-alpine regions to boreal forests and African savannahs. I am interested in understanding diversity patterns in terms of species interactions with their environments and evolutionary relationships. A further core interest involves disentangling the interactive impacts of vertebrate herbivory and climate on plant populations and communities and ecosystem ecology.

I am a member of the editorial board for the journals Ecology and Ecological Monographs

I have been a fellow on the NTNU Outstanding Academic Fellows programme and a holder of a Research Council of Norway Young Research Talents project.

Current Research

Disentangling the impacts of herbivory and climate on ecological dynamics: The DISENTAGLE project addresses how climate and herbivory together affect ecosystem processes across spatial scales. The project investigates interactions between herbivory and climate in northern ecosystems by examining (1) The growth of woody plants and community composition at the site scale. (2) The ability of herbivores to determine plant species distributions at a regional scale and (3) The functional and phylogenetic ecology of herbivores across the world's arctic and boreal ecosystems.

DYLAN Project Homepage I also worked within the DYLAN project where I am synthesising the impact of land use and natural drivers of landscape state across protected areas in Norway and the UK, with a long-term perspective.

Airborne laser scanning reveals uniform responses of forest structure to moose (Alces alces) across the boreal forest biome

A network of moose exclosures across the boreal forest biome shows that moose have consistent effects on forest structure and carbon storage.

My research falls into three thematic areas, ordered in terms of depth (1) The impact of vertebrate herbivores on ecological and ecosystem dynamics, (2) the functional and phylogenetic biogeography of trophic guilds, and (3) biodiversity analytics with a focus on using natural history collections to address ecological questions in space and time.
