The demographic buffering hypothesis: evidence and challenges
In (st) age-structured populations, the long-run population growth rate is negatively affected
by temporal variation in vital rates. In most cases, natural selection should minimize …

Global gene flow releases invasive plants from environmental constraints on genetic diversity
When plants establish outside their native range, their ability to adapt to the new
environment is influenced by both demography and dispersal. However, the relative …

Delivering the promises of trait‐based approaches to the needs of demographic approaches, and vice versa
Few facets of biology vary more than functional traits and life‐history traits. To explore this
vast variation, functional ecologists and population ecologists have developed independent …
