Effects of the soil microbiome on the demography of two annual prairie plants
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6341
Abstract: Abstract Both mutualistic and pathogenic soil microbes are known to play important roles in shaping the fitness of plants, likely affecting plants at different life cycle stages. In order to investigate the differential effects of… read more here.

The DNA history of a lonely oak: Quercus humboldtii phylogeography in the Colombian Andes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7529
Abstract: Abstract The climatic and geological changes that occurred during the Quaternary, particularly the fluctuations during the glacial and interglacial periods of the Pleistocene, shaped the population demography and geographic distribution of many species. These processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8759
Abstract: Abstract Nonhuman primates are an essential part of tropical biodiversity and play key roles in many ecosystem functions, processes, and services. However, the impact of climate variability on nonhuman primates, whether anthropogenic or otherwise, remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9414
Abstract: Abstract Large herbivore migrations are imperiled globally; however the factors limiting a population across its migratory range are typically poorly understood. Zambia's Greater Liuwa Ecosystem (GLE) contains one of the largest remaining blue wildebeest (Connochaetes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9764
Abstract: Abstract Space‐use and demographic processes are critical to the persistence of populations across space and time. Despite their importance, estimates of these processes are often derived from a limited number of populations spanning broad habitat… read more here.

Understanding the limits to species‐wide demographic generalizations: the ecology and management of Parkinsonia aculeata
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2746
Abstract: The search for generalizations in the face of complex species–environment interactions is particularly important for minimizing the cost of managing populations of species. We tested whether we could generalize, at various nested scales, the species‐level… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2813
Abstract: Understanding how multiple simultaneous drivers interact to influence plant demography is critical for protecting plant diversity in the context of global change. Fire is a key disturbance in forested ecosystems, but the interactive effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3720
Abstract: Diagnosing age-specific influences on demographic trends and their drivers in at-risk wildlife species can support the development of targeted conservation interventions. Such information also underpins understanding of life history. Here, we assess age-specific demography in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.1981
Abstract: Changes in climate can indirectly regulate populations at higher trophic levels by influencing the availability of food resources in the lower reaches of the food web. As such, species that rely on fruit and nectar… read more here.

Quantifying fear effects on prey demography in nature.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2381
Abstract: In recent years, it has been argued that the effect of predator fear exacts a greater demographic toll on prey populations than the direct killing of prey. However, efforts to quantify the effects of fear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4017
Abstract: Scleractinian corals are colonial animals with a range of life history strategies, making up diverse species assemblages that define coral reefs. We tagged and tracked approximately 30 colonies from each of 11 species during seven… read more here.
