Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004 The study of population dynamics has long depended on methodological progress. Among many striking examples, continuous time models for populations structured in age (Sharpe & Lotka, 1911) were made possible by progress in the mathematics of integral ...

Apparent Survival of Territorial Golden Eagles Using Non-Invasive Genetic Profiling. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn a novel study for the species, DNA was extracted from moulted feathers over 4 years involving 21% of the Scottish population of territorial golden eagles, and individuals' genetic profiles were analysed for apparent survival rates. Results showed sexual differences but not between two sub‐populations; very few cases of breeding dispersal were ...

Similar Survival Rates of Territorial and Sneaker Males in a Polymorphic Damselfly: A Multi-Year Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMale Mnais damselflies occur in two genetically controlled morphs: an orange‐winged territorial morph that defends oviposition sites and actively courts females and a co‐occurring clear‐winged sneaker morph that does not defend territories or display, yet mates opportunistically with females.

Weather Extremes in the Mediterranean Winter Are Associated With Reduced Apparent Survival and Delayed Initiation of Egg-Laying in a Migratory Raptor. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe analysed capture‐recapture data of breeding Eurasian kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) in western Finland during 1985–2018 to study how environmental conditions in their boreal breeding areas and Mediterranean wintering areas affect adult survival rate and timing of laying.

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Species living in spatially structured populations require a network of interconnected habitat patches. Due to changes in forest management, this network of habitat patches has been lost for insect species inhabiting open spots within forests. We studied

Identifying the demographic pathways linking environmental covariates to population dynamics in an avian migrant. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on populations requires linking the environmental conditions to demographic rates and the demographic rates to population‐level consequences, but often this complete demographic pathway is not studied.

Continuous time–dependent individual covariates and the Cormack–Jolly–Seber model
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007 Covariantes continuas individuales dependientes del tiempo y el modelo de Cormack-Jolly-Seber El modelo de Cormack–Jolly–Seber proporciona el marco básico para analizar la supervivencia de animales en poblaciones abiertas utilizando datos de captura ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Developmental differences in vital rates are especially profound in polygamous mating systems. Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are highly dimorphic and extremely polygynous marine mammals.

The Influence of Mark-Recapture Sampling Effort on Estimates of Rock Lobster Survival. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Five annual capture-mark-recapture surveys on Jasus edwardsii were used to evaluate the effect of sample size and fishing effort on the precision of estimated survival probability. Datasets of different numbers of individual lobsters (ranging from 200 to
