Tropical cyclones (also known as hurricanes and typhoons) are now believed to be an
important component of the Earth's climate system,,. In particular, by vigorously mixing the …

Adult sex ratio (ASR) is a central concept in population biology and a key factor in sexual
selection, but why do most demographic models ignore sex biases? Vital rates often vary …

Population models that combine demography and dispersal are important tools for
forecasting the spatial spread of biological invasions. Current models describe the dynamics …

Sea‐level rise (SLR) is a projected consequence of global climate change that will result in
complex changes in coastal ecosystems. These changes will cause transitions among …

Shorebird populations often rely on wetland habitats, for which they are considered
important indicators of ecosystem health. Populations residing at low latitudes remain vastly …

Sex differences in adult mortality may be responsible for male‐skewed adult sex ratios and
male‐skewed parental care in some birds. Because a surplus of breeding males has been …

An accurate understanding of factors influencing survival and how they affect population
growth are required to determine the best conservation strategies for small populations …

Source-sink dynamics are easily overlooked when formulating recovery objectives for
threatened species. This could lead to unrealistic criteria imposed on sink populations …

In the Great Lakes region, numbers of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) are gradually
increasing, but the population of< 100 pairs is still at risk of extinction and remains sensitive …

Understanding survival of precocial chicks in the period immediately following hatching has
important conservation implications because population growth is often sensitive to post …
