Individual organisms often show pronounced changes in body size throughout life with
concomitant changes in ecological performance. We synthesize recent insight into the …

Assessing the ecological risks of toxic chemicals is most often based on individual–level
responses such as survival, reproduction or growth. Such an approach raises the following …

When the second edition of this book was nearly exhausted, and orders were grinding to a
halt, Springer urged me to do a third edition. At the age of 90 I said that was out of the …

The definitive reference in its field, Ecological Risk Assessment, Second Edition details the
latest advances in science and practice. In the fourteen years since the publication of the …

1. Dynamic energy budget (DEB) models describe how individuals acquire and utilize
energy, and can serve as a link between different levels of biological organization. 2. We …

This study examines behavioral and physiological responses of juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Salmo salar) adopting alternative life history patterns following a period of reduced growth …

We evaluate the goals of meta‐analysis, critique its recent application in ecology, and
highlight an approach that more explicitly links meta‐analysis and ecological theory. One …

The ontogenetic scaling of foraging capacity strongly influences the competitive ability of
differently sized individuals within a species. We develop a physiologically structured model …

Resource availability and allocation control the life history of individuals, and hence
demography of whole populations. Several theoretical approaches have been used to study …

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) populations are predicted to be negatively affected by climate
warming, but the timeframe and manner in which change to polar bear populations will …
