longevity of individuals, but life span is one of the least accessible demographic traits …

Quantifying and understanding reproductive allocation schedules in plants

EH Wenk, DS Falster - Ecology and evolution, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
A plant's reproductive allocation (RA) schedule describes the fraction of surplus energy
allocated to reproduction as it increases in size. While theorists use RA schedules as the …

Can life‐history traits predict the response of forb populations to changes in climate variability?

HJ Dalgleish, DN Koons, PB Adler - Journal of Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change will cause changes in average temperature and precipitation as well as
increased fluctuations around the mean, yet few studies have considered the impacts of …

Demographic and life history traits explain patterns in species vulnerability to extinction

Phenotypic plasticity masks range‐wide genetic differentiation for vegetative but not reproductive traits in a short‐lived plant

J Villellas, J Ehrlén, EE Crone, AM Csergő… - Ecology …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Genetic differentiation and phenotypic plasticity jointly shape intraspecific trait variation, but
