In (st) age-structured populations, the long-run population growth rate is negatively affected
by temporal variation in vital rates. In most cases, natural selection should minimize …

Primates are characterized by relatively late ages at first reproduction, long lives and low
fertility. Together, these traits define a life-history of reduced reproductive effort …

This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic
perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular …

Human senescence patterns—late onset of mortality increase, slow mortality acceleration,
and exceptional longevity—are often described as unique in the animal world. Using an …

Accelerating rates of biodiversity loss underscore the need to understand how species
achieve resilience—the ability to resist and recover from a/biotic disturbances. Yet, the …

Temporal autocorrelation in demographic processes is an important aspect of population
dynamics, but a comprehensive examination of its effects on different life‐history strategies …

Early-life experiences can dramatically affect adult traits. However, the evolutionary origins
of such early-life effects are debated. The predictive adaptive response hypothesis argues …

We provide male and female census count data, age-specific survivorship, and female age-
specific fertility estimates for populations of seven wild primates that have been continuously …

The current extinction and climate change crises pressure us to predict population dynamics
with ever‐greater accuracy. Although predictions rest on the well‐advanced theory of age …

Earth's rapidly changing climate creates a growing need to understand how demographic
processes in natural populations are affected by climate variability, particularly among …
