Demographic consequences of phenological shifts in response to climate change
When a phenological shift affects a demographic vital rate such as survival or reproduction,
the altered vital rate may or may not have population-level consequences. We review the …

The net effect of functional traits on fitness
Generalizing the effect of traits on performance across species may be achievable if traits
explain variation in population fitness. However, testing relationships between traits and vital …

Functional extinction of birds drives rapid evolutionary changes in seed size
Local extinctions have cascading effects on ecosystem functions, yet little is known about the
potential for the rapid evolutionary change of species in human-modified scenarios. We …

Predicting global change impacts on plant species' distributions: future challenges
Given the rate of projected environmental change for the 21st century, urgent adaptation and
mitigation measures are required to slow down the on-going erosion of biodiversity. Even …

On the accumulation of deleterious mutations during range expansions
We investigate the effect of spatial range expansions on the evolution of fitness when
beneficial and deleterious mutations cosegregate. We perform individual‐based simulations …

The compadre Plant Matrix Database: an open online repository for plant demography
Schedules of survival, growth and reproduction are key life‐history traits. Data on how these
traits vary among species and populations are fundamental to our understanding of the …
