What is individual quality? An evolutionary perspective
In studies of population ecology, demography and life history evolution, among-individual
differences in traits associated with survival and reproduction are often attributed to variation …

When does selective hunting select, how can we tell, and what should we do about it?
M Festa‐Bianchet - Mammal Review, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Potential evolutionary consequences of selective hunting of mammals are controversial
because of limited evidence and important socio‐economic impacts. Several ecological and …

Individual heterogeneity and capture–recapture models: what, why and how?
Variation between and within individuals in life history traits is ubiquitous in natural
populations. When affecting fitness‐related traits such as survival or reproduction, individual …

Long‐term studies of bighorn sheep and mountain goats reveal fitness costs of reproduction
Fitness costs of reproduction are expected when resources are limited. Costs drive the
evolution of life‐history strategies and can affect population dynamics if females change …

The diversity of population responses to environmental change
The current extinction and climate change crises pressure us to predict population dynamics
with ever‐greater accuracy. Although predictions rest on the well‐advanced theory of age …
