Population dynamics models have long assumed that populations are composed of a
restricted number of groups, where individuals in each group have identical demographic rates …

Marked impacts of climate change on biodiversity have frequently been demonstrated,
including temperature-related shifts in phenology and life-history traits. One potential major …

Despite the observed distribution of variable individual phenotypes, survival and reproductive
performance in wild populations, models of population dynamics often focus on mean …

Dynamic population models typically aim to predict demography and the resulting population
dynamics in relation to environmental variation. However, they rarely include the diversity …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of vertebrate genomes, with major roles
in genome architecture and evolution. In order to characterize both common patterns and …

Empirical evidence for declines in fitness components (survival and reproductive performance)
with age has recently accumulated in wild populations, highlighting that the process of …

How populations respond to climate change depends on the interplay between life history,
resource availability, and the intensity of the change. Roe deer are income breeders, with …

The predictive adaptive response (PAR) hypothesis proposes that animals adjust their
physiology and developmental trajectory during early life in anticipation of their future …

Understanding how the natural world will be impacted by environmental change over the
coming decades is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. Addressing this …

The timing of birth has marked impacts on early life and early development of newborns in
many species. In seasonal environments, early‐born offspring often survive and grow better …
