Schedules of survival, growth and reproduction are key life‐history traits. Data on how these
traits vary among species and populations are fundamental to our understanding of the …

Uncertainty associated with ecological forecasts has long been recognized, but forecast
accuracy is rarely quantified. We evaluated how well data on 82 populations of 20 species of …

Invasive plant species threaten native biodiversity, ecosystems, agriculture, industry and
human health worldwide, lending urgency to the search for predictors of plant invasiveness …

The changing availability of water resources and frequent extreme drought events in the
context of global change will have a profound impact on desert vegetation, especially on …

Most populations exist in variable environments. Two sets of theory have been developed to
address this variability. Stochastic dynamics focus on variation in population growth rates …

Metapopulation viability depends upon a balance of extinction and colonization of local
habitats by a species. Mechanisms that can affect this balance include physical …

To meet the demand for more and larger tallgrass prairie restorations, seed is frequently
collected en-masse from remnant native plant populations. Overharvesting of seed may lead …

Energy development, in combination with other environmental stressors, poses a persistent
threat to rare species endemic to energy-producing regions of the western United States …

Predicting temporal dynamics of genetic diversity is important for assessing long-term
population persistence. In stage-structured populations, especially in perennial plant …

К настоящему времени продленный покой зафиксирован в популяциях 112 видов
травянистых споровых и семенных растений из 58 родов и 21 семейства. Однако …
