Constraint-based explanations have dominated theories of size-related patterns in nature for
centuries. Explanations for metabolic scaling–the way in which metabolism changes with …

Several social dimensions including social integration, status, early-life adversity, and their
interactions across the life course can predict health, reproduction, and mortality in humans …

Discrete time structured population projection models are an important tool for studying
population dynamics. Within this field, integral projection models (IPMs) have become a …

Body size shifts in ectotherms are mostly attributed to the Temperature Size Rule (TSR)
stating that warming speeds up initial growth rate but leads to smaller size when food does …

Climate change is one of the largest threats to grassland plant species, which can be
modified by land management. Although climate change and land management are …

Understanding populations' responses to environmental change is crucial for mitigating
human‐induced disturbances. Here, we test hypotheses regarding how three essential …

Invasion risk and impact are related to the population growth rate of newly introduced
species. We parameterized a temperature dependent age-and size-structured integral …

Identifying the mechanisms underlying the persistence of rare species has long been a
motivating question for ecologists. Classical theory implies that community dynamics should …

Understanding populations' responses to environmental change is crucial for mitigating
human-induced disturbances. Here, we test hypotheses regarding how three essential …

Multi‐year and multi‐site demographic data for rare plants allow researchers to observe
threats and project population growth rates and thus long‐term persistence of the species …
