Knowing where species occur is fundamental to many ecological and environmental
applications. Species distribution models (SDMs) are typically based on correlations …

Recognition of the importance of intraspecific variation in ecological processes has been
growing, but empirical studies and models of global change have only begun to address this …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Dispersal is fundamental in determining biodiversity responses to rapid climate change, but
recently acquired ecological and evolutionary knowledge is seldom accounted for in either …

Habitat fragmentation, an important element of current global change, has profound
repercussions on population and species extinction. Landscape fragmentation reduces …

Recent patterns of global change have highlighted the importance of understanding the
dynamics and mechanisms of species range shifts and expansions. Unique demographic …

Larval dispersal is arguably the most important but least understood demographic process
in the sea. The likelihood of a larva dispersing from its birthplace to successfully recruit in …

The study of tradeoffs among major life history components (age at maturity, lifespan and
reproduction) allowed the development of a quantitative framework to understand how …

Movement of organisms is one of the key mechanisms shaping biodiversity, eg the
distribution of genes, individuals and species in space and time. Recent technological and …

Entomophagous arthropods can provide valuable biological control services, but they need
to fulfill their life cycle in agricultural landscapes often dominated by ephemeral and …
