Sex-specific early survival drives adult sex ratio bias in snowy plovers and impacts mating system and population growth
LJ Eberhart-Phillips, C Küpper… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Adult sex ratio (ASR) is a central concept in population biology and a key factor in sexual
selection, but why do most demographic models ignore sex biases? Vital rates often vary …

Demographic response of Piping Plovers suggests that engineered habitat restoration is no match for natural riverine processes
Globally, riparian ecosystems are in decline due to anthropogenic modifications, including
damming. Reduced frequency and altered timing of flood events decreases sandbar …

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 …
