Contemporary rates of biodiversity decline emphasize the need for reliable ecological
forecasting, but current methods vary in their ability to predict the declines of real-world …

Assessing the quality of fit of a statistical model to data is a necessary step for conducting
safe inference. We introduce R2ucare, an R package to perform goodness-of-fit tests for …

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 …

What determines variation between individuals in how they senesce, and are environmental
conditions experienced during development relevant to late-life performance? We report a …

Elucidating the full eco‐evolutionary consequences of climate change requires quantifying
the impact of extreme climatic events (ECEs) on selective landscapes of key phenotypic …

Animals in the wild die from a variety of different mortality sources, including predation,
disease, and starvation. Different mortality sources selectively remove individuals with …

A central challenge in applied ecology is understanding the effect of anthropogenic fatalities
on wildlife populations and predicting which populations may be particularly vulnerable and …

Trade-offs are central to life history theory and play a role in driving life history diversity. They
arise from a finite amount of resources that need to be allocated among different functions by …

In long‐lived species, although adult survival typically has the highest elasticity, temporal
variations in less canalized demographic parameters are the main drivers of population …

While life‐history theory predicts a tradeoff between reproduction and survival, positive
covariance, indicative of heterogeneity in individual quality, is often reported among …
