A major question in ecology is how age-specific variation in demographic parameters
influences population dynamics. Based on long-term studies of growing populations of birds …

Understanding the factors that limit and regulate wildlife populations requires insight into
demographic and environmental processes acting throughout the annual cycle. Here, we …

Although widespread, actions aiming at the restoration of native species populations within
their indigenous range still lack a clear definition of success, given the high degree of …

American lobster (Homarus americanus) supports one of the most valuable regional
fisheries in the United States, with its abundance and distribution profoundly influenced by …

Conservation resources are limited and need to be used where they can be most effective.
Deciding where within a species range to implement conservation interventions requires …

Dispersal is a behavioral process having consequences for individual fitness and population
dynamics. Recent advances in technology have spawned new theoretical examinations and …

Dispersal is a key process in population and evolutionary ecology. Individual decisions are
affected by fitness consequences of dispersal, but these are difficult to measure in wild …

There is growing evidence of changes in the timing of important ecological events, such as
flowering in plants and reproduction in animals, in response to climate change, with …

Spatial patterns of site occupancy are commonly driven by habitat heterogeneity and are
thought to shape population dynamics through a site-dependent regulatory mechanism …

Dispersal in raptors and their underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown because of
the difficulties inherent to track highly mobile and often shy species across large landscapes …
