Density-dependent selection, which promotes contrasting patterns of trait means at different
population densities, has a long history in population genetics and ecology. The unifying …

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 …

Evolutionary ecologists and population biologists have recently considered that ecological
and evolutionary changes are intimately linked and can occur on the same time-scale …

Vital rates of large herbivores normally respond to increased resource limitation by following
a progressive sequence of effects on life‐history characteristics from survival of young, age …

The extirpation of native wildlife species and widespread establishment of livestock farming
has dramatically distorted large mammal herbivore communities across the globe …

Climatic warming has intensified selection for earlier reproduction in many organisms, but
potential constraints imposed by climate change outside the breeding period have received …

The worldwide loss of species diversity brings urgency to understanding how diverse
ecosystems maintain stability. Whereas early ecological ideas and classic observations …

The cumulative effects of climate warming on herbivore vital rates and population dynamics
are hard to predict, given that the expected effects differ between seasons. In the Arctic …

Wildlife management systems face growing challenges to cope with increasingly complex
interactions between wildlife populations, the environment and human activities. In this …

Aim Several large‐mammal species in Europe have recovered and recolonized parts of their
historical ranges. Knowing where suitable habitat exists, and thus where range expansions …
