• Additive genetic and environmental variation interact to shape the dynamics of seasonal migration in a wild bird population 

      Acker, Paul; Daunt, Francis; Wanless, Sarah; Burthe, Sarah J.; Newell, Mark A.; Harris, Michael P.; Swann, Robert L.; Gunn, Carrie; Morley, Tim I.; Reid, Jane Margaret (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Dissecting joint micro-evolutionary and plastic responses to environmental perturbations requires quantifying interacting components of genetic and environmental variation underlying expression of key traits. This ambition ...
    • Can attraction to and competition for high-quality habitats shape breeding propensity? 

      Acker, Paul; Schaub, Michael; Besnard, Aurélien; Monnat, Jean-Yves; Cam, Emmanuelle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    • Conceptualizing the evolutionary quantitative genetics of phenological life-history events: Breeding time as a plastic threshold trait 

      Reid, Jane Margaret; Acker, Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Successfully predicting adaptive phenotypic responses to environmental changes, and predicting resulting population outcomes, requires that additive genetic (co)variances underlying microevolutionary and plastic responses ...
    • Hierarchical variation in phenotypic flexibility across timescales and associated survival selection shape the dynamics of partial seasonal migration 

      Acker, Paul; Daunt, Francis; Wanless, Sarah; Burthe, Sarah J.; Newell, Mark A.; Harris, Michael P.; Gunn, Carrie; Swann, Robert L; Payo-Payo, Ana; Reid, Jane Margaret (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Population responses to environmental variation ultimately depend on within-individual and among-individual variation in labile phenotypic traits that affect fitness and resulting episodes of selection. Yet complex patterns ...
    • Quantifying fixed individual heterogeneity in demographic parameters: Performance of correlated random effects for Bernoulli variables 

      Fay, Rémi; Authier, Matthieu; Hamel, Sandra; Jenouvrier, Stéphanie; van de Pol, Martijn; Cam, Emmanuelle; Gaillard, Jean-Michel; Yoccoz, Nigel G.; Acker, Paul; Allen, Andrew; Aubry, Lise M.; Bonenfant, Christophe; Caswell, Hal; Coste, Christophe; Larue, Benjamin; Le Coeur, Christie; Gamelon, Marlène; Macdonald, Kaitlin R.; Moiron, Maria; Nicol-Harper, Alex; Pelletier, Fanie; Rotella, Jay J.; Teplitsky, Celine; Touzot, Laura; Wells, Caitlin P.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      1. An increasing number of empirical studies aim to quantify individual variation in demographic parameters because these patterns are key for evolutionary and ecological processes. Advanced approaches to estimate individual ...
    • Temporal correlations among demographic parameters are ubiquitous but highly variable across species 

      Fay, Rémi; Hamel, Sandra; Van de Pol, Martijn; Gaillard, Jean Michel; Yoccoz, Nigel; Acker, Paul; Authier, Matthieu; Larue, Benjamin; Le Coeur, Christie; Macdonald, Kaitlin R.; Nicol-Harper, Alex; Barbraud, Christophe; Bonenfant, Christophe; Van Vuren, Dirk H.; Cam, Emmanuelle; Delord, Karine; Gamelon, Marlène; Moiron, Maria; Pelletier, Fanie; Rotella, Jay J.; Teplitsky, Céline; Visser, Marcel E.; Wells, Caitlin P.; Wheelwright, Nathaniel T.; Jenouvrier, Stéphanie; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Temporal correlations among demographic parameters can strongly influence population dynamics. Our empirical knowledge, however, is very limited regarding the direction and the magnitude of these correlations and how they ...
