Macroecology has traditionally relied on descriptive characterization of large-scale
ecological patterns to offer narrative explanations for the origin and maintenance of those …

To robustly predict the effects of disturbance and ecosystem changes on species, it is
necessary to produce structurally realistic models with high predictive power and flexibility …

Marine ecosystems are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic disturbances that cause
animals to change behavior and move away from potential foraging grounds. Here we …

Research is revealing an increasing number of positive effects of nature for humans. At the
same time, biodiversity in cities, where most humans live, is often low or in decline. Tangible …

In marine environments, noise from human activities is increasing dramatically, causing
animals to alter their behavior and forage less efficiently. These alterations incur energetic …

Food waste disposal represents a major global source of predictable anthropogenic food
subsidies and is exploited by many organisms. However, the energetic cost-benefits of …

Trade-offs are central to life history theory and play a role in driving life history diversity. They
arise from a finite amount of resources that need to be allocated among different functions by …

Species' ranges are primarily limited by the physiological (abiotic) tolerance of the species,
described by their fundamental niche. Additionally, demographic processes, dispersal, and …

Biotelemetry is increasingly used to study animal movement at high spatial and temporal
resolution and guide conservation and resource management. Yet, limited sample sizes and …

Individual‐based models (IBM s) are a powerful tool in predicting the consequences of
environmental change on animal populations and supporting evidence‐based decision …
