Terrestrial orchid life-cycles are complex and dependent on pollinators and mycorrhizal
associates. Worldwide, orchid populations are declining because of urbanization …

Understanding the effects of climate on the vital rates (eg, survival, development,
reproduction) and dynamics of natural populations is a long‐standing quest in ecology, with …

Demographic buffering and lability have been identified as adaptive strategies to optimise
fitness in a fluctuating environment. These are not mutually exclusive, however, we lack …

Despite a global footprint of shifts in flowering phenology in response to climate change, the
reproductive consequences of these shifts are poorly understood. Furthermore, it is …

In structured populations, persistence under environmental change may be particularly
threatened when abiotic factors simultaneously negatively affect survival and reproduction of …

Heterogeneous terrain in montane systems results in a decoupling of climatic gradients.
Population dynamics across species' ranges in these heterogeneous landscapes are …

Species' persistence in increasingly variable climates will depend on resilience against the
fitness costs of environmental stochasticity. Most organisms host microbiota that shield …

The fate of natural populations is mediated by complex interactions among vital rates, which
can vary within and among years. Although the effects of random, among‐year variation in …

Demographic compensation—the opposing responses of vital rates along environmental
gradients—potentially delays anticipated species' range contraction under climate change …

Fire is a major disturbance driving the dynamics of the world's savannas. Almost all fires are
set by humans who are increasingly altering fire timing and frequency on every continent …
