To robustly predict the effects of disturbance and ecosystem changes on species, it is
necessary to produce structurally realistic models with high predictive power and flexibility …

During the late Pleistocene, isolated lineages of hominins exchanged genes thus
influencing genomic variation in humans in both the past and present. However, the …

Large 'apex'predators influence ecosystems in profound ways, by limiting the density of their
prey and controlling smaller 'mesopredators'. The loss of apex predators from much of their …

Understanding the population dynamics of top‐predators is essential to assess their impact
on ecosystems and to guide their management. Key to this understanding is identifying the …

Abstract Knowledge of characteristics that promote group success during intraspecific
encounters is key to understanding the adaptive advantages of sociality for many group …

An intriguing aspect of social foraging behaviour is that large groups are often no better at
capturing prey than are small groups, a pattern that has been attributed to diminished …

The extent of (in) equality is highly diverse across species of social mammals, but we have a
poor understanding of the factors that produce or inhibit equitable social organizations …

We know much about pathogen evolution and the emergence of new disease strains, but
less about host resistance and how it is signaled to other individuals and subsequently …

The importance of individuals to the dynamics of populations may depend on reproductive
status, especially for species with complex social structure. Loss of reproductive individuals …

After centuries of population decline and range contraction, gray wolves (Canis lupus) are
now expanding in Europe. Understanding wolf social structure and population dynamics …
