▪ Abstract In large-herbivore populations, environmental variation and density dependence
co-occur and have similar effects on various fitness components. Our review aims to quantify …

Hunting by humans played a major role in extirpating terrestrial megafauna on several
continents and megafaunal loss continues today in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems …

Over the past 3 decades, the status of sea turtles and the need for their protection to aid
population recovery have increasingly captured the interest of government agencies, non …

A central goal in ecology is to predict population dynamics from demographic information.
Based on the asymptotic population growth rate λ, calculated from a projection matrix model …

When the second edition of this book was nearly exhausted, and orders were grinding to a
halt, Springer urged me to do a third edition. At the age of 90 I said that was out of the …

Matrix population models require the population to be divided into discrete stage classes. In
many cases, especially when classes are defined by a continuous variable, such as length …

The open‐data scientific philosophy is being widely adopted and proving to promote
considerable progress in ecology and evolution. Open‐data global data bases now exist on …

We argue that population growth rate is the key unifying variable linking the various facets of
population ecology. The importance of population growth rate lies partly in its central role in …

Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with astonishing potential for
contributing solutions to wildlife conservation and management challenges. And yet, much …

Survival probability is predicted to underlie the evolution of life histories along a slow–fast
continuum. Hibernation allows a diverse range of small mammals to exhibit seasonal …
