Demystifying individual heterogeneity
Among‐individual variation in vital rates, such as mortality and birth rates, exists in nearly all
populations. Recent studies suggest that this individual heterogeneity produces substantial …

Individual heterogeneity and capture–recapture models: what, why and how?
Variation between and within individuals in life history traits is ubiquitous in natural
populations. When affecting fitness‐related traits such as survival or reproduction, individual …

Dynamic properties of a reaction–diffusion predator–prey model with nonlinear harvesting: A linear and weakly nonlinear analysis
In this work, we have studied the spatiotemporal dynamics of a predator–prey model with
selective nonlinear saturated harvesting of both species. The study of the non-diffusive …

Landscape demography: Population change and its drivers across spatial scales
Demographic studies of plants and animals have a rich history and literature in ecology, and
are important for both fundamental and applied ecology and conservation biology. Almost all …

Looking for a needle in a haystack: inference about individual fitness components in a heterogeneous population
Studies of wild vertebrates have provided evidence of substantial differences in lifetime
reproduction among individuals and the sequences of life history 'states' during life …

The importance of individual developmental variation in stage‐structured population models
Population stage structure is fundamental to ecology, and models of this structure have
proven useful in many different systems. Many ecological variables other than stage, such …

Optimizing lifetime reproductive output: Intermittent breeding as a tactic for females in a long‐lived, multiparous mammal
In iteroparous species, intermittent breeding is an important life‐history tactic that can greatly
affect animal population growth and viability. Despite its importance, few studies have …
