The Shape of the Trade-Off Function Between Reproduction and Future Performance in \u3cem\u3ePlantago major\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3ePlantago rugelii\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2002 There is a paucity of data describing the nature of the trade-off function between reproduction and future performance. Most studies implicitly assume it is a linear function such that allocation of resources to reproduction results in a proportional ...

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Leaf traits, shoot growth and seed production in mature Fagus sylvatica trees after 8 years of CO2 enrichment [PDF]
, 2017 Background and Aims Masting, i.e. synchronous but highly variable interannual seed production, is a strong sink for carbon and nutrients. It may, therefore, compete with vegetative growth.
