Ecologists and many evolutionary biologists relate the variation in physiological,
behavioural, life‐history, demographic, population and community traits to the variation in …

In observational demographic data, the number of measured factors that could potentially
drive demography (such as daily weather records between two censuses) can easily exceed …

Across taxa, offspring size traits are linked to survival, and life-time fitness. Inclement
weather can be a major constraint on offspring growth and parental care. Despite the …

In seasonal environments, fluctuating early‐season weather conditions and short breeding
windows limit reproductive opportunities such that breeding earlier or later than the optimum …

Annual variation in adult salmon migration timing makes the interpretation of in-season
assessment data difficult, leading to much in-season uncertainty in run size. We developed …

To understand the effect of weather variables on eco-systems, biologists relate variation in
biological variables to temporal or spatial variation in weather variables. This type of …

In alpine habitats, fluctuating early-season weather conditions and short breeding seasons
limit reproductive opportunities, such that arriving and breeding earlier or later than the …

Offspring development is a critical life-history stage for altricial songbirds and a prime target
for selection, as predation risk is high relative to other life-stages and environmental …

Monitoring is important for the effective management of exploited fish populations, such as
Pacific salmon. For example, monitoring provides information on the state of the stock which …
