Abstract: Abstract Warmer springs may cause animals to become mistimed if advances of spring timing, including available resources and of timing of breeding occur at different speed. We used thermal sums (cumulative sum of degree days)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2212035120
Abstract: Significance The conservation of the natural world currently relies on the establishment of protected areas. However, site protection alone does not guarantee good biodiversity outcomes. Here, we take advantage of a 30-y dataset on Whooper… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15567
Abstract: Tropical mountains harbor globally significant levels of biodiversity and endemism. Climate change threatens many tropical montane species, yet little research has assessed the effects of climate change on the demographic rates of tropical species, particularly… read more here.

DOI: 10.5705/ss.2014.200t
Abstract: Population forecasts for small areas within a country are an important planning tool. Standard methods for forecasting demographic rates do not, however, perform well with the noisy data that are typical of small areas. We… read more here.
