Model averaging in ecology: A review of Bayesian, information‐theoretic, and tactical approaches for predictive inference

CF Dormann, JM Calabrese… - Ecological …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In ecology, the true causal structure for a given problem is often not known, and several
plausible models and thus model predictions exist. It has been claimed that using weighted …

Life‐history evolution in range‐shifting populations

BL Phillips, GP Brown, R Shine - Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Most evolutionary theory does not deal with populations expanding or contracting in space.
Invasive species, climate change, epidemics, and the breakdown of dispersal barriers …

The predator-prey power law: Biomass scaling across terrestrial and aquatic biomes

IA Hatton, KS McCann, JM Fryxell, TJ Davies… - Science, 2015 - science.org

Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects

J Gascoigne, L Berec, S Gregory, F Courchamp - Population Ecology, 2009 - Springer
In this paper, we review mate-finding Allee effects from ecological and evolutionary points of
