Environmental variation and population responses to global change
Species' responses to environmental changes such as global warming are affected not only
by trends in mean conditions, but also by natural and human‐induced environmental …

The ecological causes of evolution
ADC MacColl - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2011 - cell.com
Natural selection is the process that results in adaptive evolution, but it is not the cause of
evolution. The cause of natural selection and, therefore, of adaptive evolution, is any …

Interdependent effects of habitat quality and climate on population growth of an endangered plant
F Nicole, JP Dahlgren, A Vivat, I Till‐Bottraud… - Journal of …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
To predict the viability of populations, it is essential to clarify how performance depends both
on large‐scale environmental changes, such as climate warming, and on the local habitat …

Recent exposure to environmental stochasticity does not determine the demographic resilience of natural populations
Escalating climatic and anthropogenic pressures expose ecosystems worldwide to
increasingly stochastic environments. Yet, our ability to forecast the responses of natural …

Projecting demographic responses to climate change: adult and juvenile survival respond differently to direct and indirect effects of weather in a passerine population
Few studies have quantitatively projected changes in demography in response to climate
change, yet doing so can provide important insights into the processes that may lead to …

Demographic responses of a site‐faithful and territorial predator to its fluctuating prey: long‐tailed skuas and arctic lemmings
Environmental variability, through interannual variation in food availability or climatic
variables, is usually detrimental to population growth. It can even select for constancy in key …
