Why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology
Natural populations consist of phenotypically diverse individuals that exhibit variation in their
demographic parameters and intra-and inter-specific interactions. Recent experimental work …

The ecological causes of individual specialisation
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 948–958 Abstract Many generalist populations are composed of
specialised individuals, whose niches are small subsets of the population niche. This …

What is individual quality? An evolutionary perspective
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 …

Delivering the promises of trait‐based approaches to the needs of demographic approaches, and vice versa
Few facets of biology vary more than functional traits and life‐history traits. To explore this
vast variation, functional ecologists and population ecologists have developed independent …
