Density‐dependence is a key concept in population dynamics. Here, we review how body
mass and demographic parameters vary with population density in large herbivores. The …

In this paper, we review mate-finding Allee effects from ecological and evolutionary points of
view. We define 'mate-finding'as mate searching in mobile animals, and also as the meeting …

Ecological Models and Data in R is the first truly practical introduction to modern statistical
methods for ecology. In step-by-step detail, the book teaches ecology graduate students and …

Transgenic maize engineered to express insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) has become widely adopted in US agriculture. In 2009, Bt maize was …

Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with astonishing potential for
contributing solutions to wildlife conservation and management challenges. And yet, much …

INTRODUCTION A surprisingly general pattern at very large scales casts light on the link
between ecosystem structure and function. We show a robust scaling law that emerges …

We describe a discrete‐time, stochastic population model with density dependence,
environmental‐type process noise, and lognormal observation or sampling error. The …

Population limitation is a fundamental tenet of ecology, but the relative roles of exogenous
and endogenous mechanisms remain unquantified for most species. Here we used multi …

The worldwide loss of species diversity brings urgency to understanding how diverse
ecosystems maintain stability. Whereas early ecological ideas and classic observations …

The sperm whale lives in most deep ice-free waters of the globe. It was targeted during two
periods of whaling peaking in the 1840's and 1960's. Using a habitat suitability model, we …
