We will soon have complete genome sequences from thousands of species, as well as from
many individuals within species. This coming explosion of information will transform our …

Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

The effect of ecological change on evolution has long been a focus of scientific research.
The reverse—how evolutionary dynamics affect ecological traits—has only recently captured …

Abstract. Understanding habitat quality for birds is crucial for ecologists and managers, but
few papers have explored the advantages and disadvantages of different ways to measure …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of
wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …

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

Phenotypic plasticity plays a key role in modulating how environmental variation influences
population dynamics, but we have only rudimentary understanding of how plasticity interacts …

The field of habitat ecology has been muddled by imprecise terminology regarding what
constitutes habitat, and how importance is measured through use, selection, avoidance and …

In studies of population ecology, demography and life history evolution, among-individual
differences in traits associated with survival and reproduction are often attributed to variation …

1. A major current challenge in ageing research is to understand why senescence rates vary
between individuals, populations and species in wild populations. 2. Recent studies clearly …
