The use of Gompertz models in growth analyses, and new Gompertz-model approach: An addition to the Unified-Richards family
KMC Tjørve, E Tjørve - PloS one, 2017 - journals.plos.org
The Gompertz model is well known and widely used in many aspects of biology. It has been
frequently used to describe the growth of animals and plants, as well as the number or …

The plight of a plover: viability of an important snowy plover population with flexible brood care in Mexico
Shorebird populations often rely on wetland habitats, for which they are considered
important indicators of ecosystem health. Populations residing at low latitudes remain vastly …

Metapopulation viability of an endangered shorebird depends on dispersal and human-created habitats: piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) and prairie rivers
DH Catlin, SL Zeigler, MB Brown, LR Dinan… - Movement Ecology, 2016 - Springer
Background Many species are distributed as metapopulations in dynamic landscapes,
where habitats change through space and time. Individuals locate habitat through dispersal …

Habitat selection and potential fitness consequences of two early‐successional species with differing life‐history strategies
Habitat selection and its relationship to fitness is a fundamental concept in ecology, but the
mechanisms driving this connection are complex and difficult to detect. Despite the …
