The paper uses stochastic simulations of population models to show life history traits predict how population structure influences population growth rate under environmental variability.

This study shows that stage-dependent interactions have limited impact on predictive accuracy of community models when stage structure is stable, even under strong stage dependence.

The paper shows current resilience estimates fail to account for long-term environmental shifts, highlighting the need to consider resource allocation between survival and reproduction.

The paper models short- and long-term responses of grassland functional groups to precipitation extremes using stage-structured community models and pseudospectral theory.
