Climatic Variability Threatens Population Growth and Persistence of a Declining Grassland Songbird Determining the factors responsible for population change in threatened populations and the degree to which changing climates might put those populations at risk is one of the most pressing roles of ...

New OA paper today! This one is very important to me as is the culmination of over a decade of incredibly intensive field work in KS prairies. I will walk you through the take-homes...

Lost or Leading the Way? Rare Birds May Signal Shifting Migration Routes | Newswise Most birders are excited to see and chase vagrants. They represent an unusual occurrence and offer a chance to observe a species outside of its usual range.

Overpopulation (Zoology 🦥)

Overpopulation or overabundance is a state in which the population of a species is larger than the carrying capacity of its environment. This may be caused by increased birth rates, lowered mortality rates, reduced predation or large scale migration, leading to an […]

Population ecology (Ecology 🏞️)

Population ecology is a field of ecology that deals with the dynamics of species populations and how these populations interact with the environment, such as birth and death rates, and by immigration and emigration. The discipline is important in conservation […]

Solving three core challenges in transient dynamics analysis of matrix population models 1. Populations are at the mercy of random disturbances large and small and rarely, if ever, converge on predicted long-term behaviours. Therefore, when using matrix population models, ecologists stud...

Relative species abundance (Biodiversity 🦗)

Relative species abundance is a component of biodiversity and is a measure of how common or rare a species is relative to other species in a defined location or community. Relative abundance is the percent composition of an organism of a particular […]

Are we using this platform for #Rstats help yet? I’m trying to figure out why my stochastic population simulation is running away instead of declining steadily like it does in the matrix format. Any #populationecology or #statisticalecology folks who can help? 🧪

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis Identifying the mechanisms underlying the persistence of rare species has long been a motivating question for ecologists. Classical theory implies that community dynamics should be driven by common s...

IPMs of a rare plant's population dynamics show negative density dependence and seed banks are important for persistence, and provide an analytical framework for rare species demography.
