recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4686

Abstract: Abstract Understanding the factors that determine species’ range limits is a key issue in ecology, and is fundamental for biodiversity conservation under widespread global environmental change. Elucidating how altitudinal variation affects demographic processes may provide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72080

Abstract: ABSTRACT Changes in population responses to climate are usually studied at broad spatial grains, such as across species ranges. Only a handful of studies have investigated how small‐scale variation, for example driven by soil conditions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8682

Abstract: Abstract Population dynamics are functions of several demographic processes including survival, reproduction, somatic growth, and maturation. The rates or probabilities for these processes can vary by time, by location, and by individual. These processes can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2481

Abstract: Variation in life-history traits such as lifespan and lifetime reproductive output is thought to arise, in part, due to among-individual differences in the underlying probabilities of survival and reproduction. However, the stochastic nature of demographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.171087

Abstract: We develop a general framework that combines long-term tag–recapture data and powerful statistical and modelling techniques to investigate how population, environmental and climate factors determine variation in vital rates and population dynamics in an animal… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Applied Ecology"

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.13044

Abstract: Sensitivity analyses that assess the impact of changing vital rates on population growth have been widely used to guide conservation. If implemented with caution, they can provide guidance as to which management actions will optimize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13056

Abstract: Climate change is predicted to have profound consequences for multispecies coexistence, and thus, patterns of biological diversity. These consequences will be mediated by direct and indirect impacts of environmental change on species’ vital rates and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Ecology"

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.14308

Abstract: Understanding how plant fitness varies along natural gradients is critical for predicting responses to environmental change. However, individual vital rates are often used as fitness proxies without knowing how other vital rates vary along the… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Conservation Biology"

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13182

Abstract: Tropical forests are experiencing enormous threats from deforestation and habitat degradation. Much knowledge of the impacts of these land‐use changes on tropical species comes from studies examining patterns of richness and abundance. Demographic vital rates… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Global Change Biology"

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14742

Abstract: Abstract Predicting how species will be affected by future climatic change requires the underlying environmental drivers to be identified. As vital rates vary over the lifecycle, structured population models derived from statistical environment–demography relationships are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15900

Abstract: Deforestation often results in landscapes where remaining forest habitat is highly fragmented, with remnants of different sizes embedded in an often highly contrasting matrix. Local extinction of species from individual fragments is common, but the… read more here.
