Environmental variation is a ubiquitous component of individual, population and community
processes in the natural world. Here, we review the consequences of spatio-temporally …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

Plant communities have traditionally been viewed as either a random collection of
individuals or as organismal entities. For most ecologists however, neither perspective …

Climate variability has strong effects on marine ecosystems, with repercussions that range in
scale from those that impact individuals to those that impact the entire food web. Climate …

The theme of the book is the distribution and abundance of organisms in space and time.
The core of the book lies in how local births and deaths are tied to emigration and …

In marine ecosystems climatic fluctuation and other physical variables greatly influence
population dynamics, but differential effects of physical variables on the demographic …

The patterns of variations in fisheries time series are known to result from a complex
combination of species and fisheries dynamics all coupled with environmental forcing …

Detailed studies of organisms' life cycles are important for understanding population
response to climate change. However, in general one cannot make strong inference about …

Ecologists and epidemiologists worry that global warming will increase disease prevalence.
These fears arise because several direct and indirect mechanisms link warming to disease …

In most organisms, transitions between different life–history stages occur later and at smaller
sizes as growth conditions deteriorate. Day and Rowe recently proposed that this pattern …
