Multiple stressors, such as warming and invasions, often occur together and have
nonadditive effects. Most studies to date assume that stressors operate in perfect synchrony …

The ability of individual organisms to alter morphological and life‐history traits in response to
the conditions they experience is an example of phenotypic plasticity which is fundamental …

Urbanisation is considered an important driver of current biodiversity loss, but the underlying
causes are not fully understood. It is generally assumed that this loss reflects the fact that …

Both means and year‐to‐year variances of climate variables such as temperature and
precipitation are predicted to change. However, the potential impact of changing climatic …

Despite considerable current interest in biological invasions, the common life-history
characteristics of successful invaders remain elusive. The widely held hypothesis that …

Why do species not adapt to ever-wider ranges of conditions, gradually expanding their
ecological niche and geographic range? Gene flow across environments has two conflicting …

Recent advances in stochastic demography provide unique insights into the probable effects
of increasing environmental variability on population dynamics, and these insights can be …

Climate warming is increasingly exposing wildlife to sublethal high temperatures, which may
lead to chronic impacts and reduced fitness. Telomere length (TL) may link heat exposure to …

Range shift is the primary short-term species response to rapid climate change, but it is often
hampered by natural or anthropogenic habitat fragmentation. Different critical areas of a …

Summary 1 Studies aiming to identify the prevalence and nature of density dependence in
ecological populations have often used statistical analysis of ecological time‐series of …
