Demographic synthesis for global tree species conservation
Conserving the tree species of the world requires syntheses on which tree species are most
vulnerable to pressing threats, such as climate change, invasive pests and pathogens, or …

When and how can we predict adaptive responses to climate change?
Predicting if, when, and how populations can adapt to climate change constitutes one of the
greatest challenges in science today. Here, we build from contributions to the special issue …

Reviews and syntheses: Biological indicators of low-oxygen stress in marine water-breathing animals
Anthropogenic warming and nutrient over-enrichment of our oceans have resulted in
significant, and often catastrophic, reductions in dissolved oxygen (deoxygenation). Stress …

Demographic but not competitive time lags can transiently amplify climate‐induced changes in vegetation carbon storage
How terrestrial ecosystems will accumulate carbon as the climate continues to change is a
major source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. Under growth‐stimulating …

Applying stochastic and Bayesian integral projection modeling to amphibian population viability analysis
Integral projection models (IPMs) can estimate the population dynamics of species for which
both discrete life stages and continuous variables influence demographic rates. Stochastic …

High among‐species variability in the context dependence of herbivory across disturbance, weather and topoedaphic gradients
Species interaction effects on populations can vary in both magnitude (ie strong vs. weak)
and sign (positive, negative, or no effect). Context‐dependent effects of species interactions …

The role of demographic compensation in stabilising marginal tree populations in North America
Demographic compensation—the opposing responses of vital rates along environmental
gradients—potentially delays anticipated species' range contraction under climate change …

Quantifying the demographic vulnerabilities of dry woodlands to climate and competition using rangewide monitoring data
Climate change is expected to alter the distribution and abundance of tree species,
impacting ecosystem structure and function. Yet, anticipating where this will occur is often …

Fluctuation-dependent coexistence of stage-structured species
Modern coexistence theory is a dominant framework for understanding how environmental
fluctuations promote species coexistence. However, assessing fluctuation-dependent …

Demographic consequences of mutualism disruption: Browsing and big‐headed ant invasion drive acacia population declines
Across the globe, biological invasions have disrupted mutualisms, producing reverberating
consequences for ecosystems. Although invasive species frequently trigger mutualism …
