The demography of terrestrial orchids: life history, population dynamics and conservation
Terrestrial orchid life-cycles are complex and dependent on pollinators and mycorrhizal
associates. Worldwide, orchid populations are declining because of urbanization …

Lagged and dormant season climate better predict plant vital rates than climate during the growing season
Understanding the effects of climate on the vital rates (eg, survival, development,
reproduction) and dynamics of natural populations is a longstanding quest in ecology, with …

Reproductive losses due to climate changeinduced earlier flowering are not the primary threat to plant population viability in a perennial herb
Despite a global footprint of shifts in flowering phenology in response to climate change, the
reproductive consequences of these shifts are poorly understood. Furthermore, it is …

Life history adaptations to fluctuating environments: Combined effects of demographic buffering and lability
Demographic buffering and lability have been identified as adaptive strategies to optimise
fitness in a fluctuating environment. These are not mutually exclusive, however, we lack …

Microclimate and demography interact to shape stable population dynamics across the range of an alpine plant
MF Oldfather, DD Ackerly - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Heterogeneous terrain in montane systems results in a decoupling of climatic gradients.
Population dynamics across species' ranges in these heterogeneous landscapes are …

Pathways to global-change effects on biodiversity: new opportunities for dynamically forecasting demography and species interactions
In structured populations, persistence under environmental change may be particularly
threatened when abiotic factors simultaneously negatively affect survival and reproduction of …

Population Dynamic Consequences of Context-Dependent Trade-Offs across Life Histories
Trade-offs are central to life history theory and play a role in driving life history diversity. They
arise from a finite amount of resources that need to be allocated among different functions by …

Demographic consequences of changes in environmental periodicity
E Conquet, A Ozgul, DT Blumstein, KB Armitage… - Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The fate of natural populations is mediated by complex interactions among vital rates, which
can vary within and among years. Although the effects of random, amongyear variation in …

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 …

The inclusion of immediate and lagged climate responses amplifies the effect of climate autocorrelation on longterm growth rate of populations
Climate variability will increase with climate change, and thus it is important for population
ecologists to understand its consequences for population dynamics. Four components are …
