Integral projection models (IPM s) use information on how an individual's state influences its
vital rates–survival, growth and reproduction–to make population projections. IPM s are …

Orchid distribution and population dynamics are influenced by a variety of ecological factors
and the formation of holobionts, which play key roles in colonization and ecological …

Over the past 30 years, one of the most rapidly expanding areas in ecology has been the
development of structured population models, where individuals have attributes such as …

Individual heterogeneity in life history shapes eco‐evolutionary processes, and unobserved
heterogeneity can affect demographic outputs characterising life history and population …

A fundamental goal of ecology is to predict how strongly one species affects the abundance
of another. However, our ability to do so is hindered by the fact that interaction outcomes are …

In order to understand how changes in individual performance (growth, survival or
reproduction) influence population dynamics and evolution, ecologists are increasingly …

Distributed throughout the continents, terrestrial orchids are known for their great species
richness and specificity in relation to pollinators and mycorrhizal symbionts. Moreover, a …

Terrestrial orchid life-cycles are complex and dependent on pollinators and mycorrhizal
associates. Worldwide, orchid populations are declining because of urbanization …

Competition is among the most important factors regulating plant population and community
dynamics, but we know little about how different vital rates respond to competition and jointly …

Background The trailing edges of species ranges are becoming a subject of increasing
interest as the environment changes due to global warming. Trailing edge populations are …
