Accelerating rates of biodiversity loss underscore the need to understand how species
achieve resilience—the ability to resist and recover from a/biotic disturbances. Yet, the …

Biodiversity loss is a major challenge. Over the past century, the average rate of vertebrate
extinction has been about 100-fold higher than the estimated background rate and …

There is an urgent need to synthesize the state of our knowledge on plant responses to
climate. The availability of open-access data provide opportunities to examine quantitative …

Cancer has deep evolutionary roots and is an important source of selective pressure in
organismal evolution. Yet, we find a great deal of variation in cancer vulnerabilities across …

Aim Species‐level traits, such as body and range sizes, are important correlates of extinction
risk. However, both are often related and are driven by environmental factors. Here, we …

Animal age at maturity can be used as a universal and simple predictor of species extinction
risk. At present, methods to estimate age at maturity are typically species-specific, limiting …

Our understanding on how widespread reproductive senescence is in the wild and how the
onset and rate of reproductive senescence vary among species in relation to life histories …

An increasing number of studies have investigated the diversity of actuarial senescence (ie
the increase of mortality with age) and mortality patterns in the wild. Most of these studies …

Adaptation to changing conditions is one of the strategies plants may use to survive in the
face of climate change. We aimed to determine whether plants' leaf morphological and …

Diagnosing age‐specific influences on demographic trends and their drivers in at‐risk
wildlife species can support the development of targeted conservation interventions. Such …
