The paper uses population models to show that negative density dependence, not other mechanisms, explains the persistence of a rare plant species, highlighting the importance of seed banks in population dynamics.

The paper examines phenological shifts in European vegetation and herbivorous insects over 34 years, finding that 61.2% have become asynchronous, with vegetation advancing faster than insects.

The paper develops a unified matrix framework to analyze both pulse and press disturbances in populations, showing how transient dynamics influence long-term fitness and demographic responses.

This study examines how warming affects two Tibetan Plateau plants, showing that survival differences drive divergent population responses to climate change.

The paper compares coral population size structures between tropical and high-latitude marginal reefs, finding fewer but larger colonies in marginal reefs under higher environmental stress.

The paper introduces a framework to quantify the effects of environmental factors, population structure, and demographic rates on demographic buffering in plant species.

This study shows that experimental drought reduces productivity and stability of a recovering calcareous grassland but not community composition or long-term recovery.

This paper introduces a three-step framework to identify and quantify demographic buffering across species, applying it to mammals to explore evolutionary forces.

The paper examines global diversity in mammalian life history strategies and shows how environmental realms influence these strategies, with aquatic and aerial species showing slower strategies and terrestrial species faster ones, except for highly encephalized terrestrial species.

This study conducts a meta-analysis of 1814 effect sizes from 379 studies to assess male reproductive senescence across species, finding no general pattern and highlighting taxonomic and methodological factors influencing results.

The paper analyzes leaf metabolome variation across plant species to identify metabolic functional traits that reveal new dimensions of plant form and function.

The paper examines how evolutionary relationships influence plant trait variation, finding that traits like plant height and leaf nitrogen are strongly constrained by phylogeny.

This study shows that non-senescent planaria species experience stress under suboptimal resource conditions, which can affect their performance and viability.

The paper examines how drought and growing season timing affect functional traits in a temperate grassland, finding significant trait changes in drought conditions post-cutting.

The paper models the demographic impacts of seed harvesting on 298 plant species and finds that current guidelines are inconsistent and lack empirical support, proposing a species-specific approach based on generation time and harvesting frequency.

This paper introduces an improved habitat suitability index for great crested newts by revising calculation methods and excluding less predictive factors, resulting in better accuracy for assessing breeding habitat quality.

This paper introduces a new discretisation of Keyfitz entropy to accurately reflect mortality rate patterns in discrete-time demographic data, addressing biases in the original method.

This study shows that demographic stochasticity and recovery capacity, not just mean fitness, influence tree species' distribution edges under climate change.

This paper derives inclusive fitness forces of selection in social species, showing that selection on survival can persist post-reproduction and reproductive selection may not decline monotonically.

This study finds that recent environmental stochasticity does not predict population resilience, showing instead that evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships are more influential.

The paper assesses functional diversity loss in turtles and crocodilians due to anthropogenic threats, finding habitat disturbance causes twice the functional diversity loss compared to other threats.

This study evaluates antecedent effect models for linking climate drivers to plant population dynamics, finding they are better for hypothesis generation than prediction in small datasets.

MOSAIC is an open-access trait database that integrates data from COMADRE, COMPADRE, and PADRINO to improve interoperability between trait databases and structured population models.

This study uses multispectral imaging from drones to estimate biodiversity metrics in a grassland, finding that spectral radiance variation correlates with biodiversity indices.

Rpadrino provides an R package to access and use PADRINO, a database of Integral Projection Models, enabling users to reconstruct and analyze published IPMs.

The paper decomposes stochastic growth rate into components to study how buffering and lability affect fitness in fluctuating environments across species.

The paper examines how coral assemblages at higher latitudes prioritize short-term potential over long-term performance, affecting their resilience to climate variability.

The paper assesses how human pressure affects species resilience strategies in wild plants and animals, finding fewer successful strategies in human-influenced habitats.

The paper shows how life history traits influence demographic resilience components like resistance, compensation, and recovery in species.

The paper assesses demographic buffering in animal populations and finds no strong evidence for it, instead highlighting context-dependent variation in vital rates.
