Elasticity is a perturbation measure in matrix projection models that quantifies the proportional
change in population growth rate as a function of a proportional change in a demographic …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1–8 Abstract Matrix projection models are among the most widely
used tools in plant ecology. However, the way in which plant ecologists use and interpret …

Evolution drives, and is driven by, demography. A genotype moulds its phenotype’s age
patterns of mortality and fertility in an environment; these two patterns in turn determine the …

Availability of seed and microsites, respectively, are two factors that potentially may limit
recruitment in plant populations. Microsites are small-scale sites suitable for germination and …

Phenological responses to climate change (eg, earlier leaf-out or egg hatch date) are now
well documented and clearly linked to rising temperatures in recent decades. Such shifts in …

Pre-dispersal seed predation may have important effects on population dynamics and trait
evolution in plants. In this review, we first present a conceptual framework of the strength of pre…

Extinction debts can result from many types of habitat changes involving mechanisms other
than metapopulation processes. This is a fact that most recent literature on extinction debts …
