Accounting for interspecific competition and age structure in demographic analyses of density dependence improves predictions of fluctuations in population size
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Understanding species coexistence has long been a major goal of ecology. Coexistence theory for two competing species posits that intraspecific density dependence should be stronger than interspecific density dependence. ... -
Directional turnover towards larger-ranged plants over time and across habitats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Species turnover is ubiquitous. However, it remains unknown whether certain types of species are consistently gained or lost across different habitats. Here, we analysed the trajectories of 1827 plant species over time ... -
Divergence in rates of phenotypic plasticity among ectotherms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)An individual's fitness cost associated with environmental change likely depends on the rate of adaptive phenotypic plasticity, and yet our understanding of plasticity rates in an ecological and evolutionary context remains ... -
Harvesting can stabilise population fluctuations and buffer the impacts of extreme climatic events
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Harvesting can magnify the destabilising effects of environmental perturbations on population dynamics and, thereby, increase extinction risk. However, population-dynamic theory predicts that impacts of harvesting depend ... -
Modelling time to population extinction when individual reproduction is autocorrelated
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)In nature, individual reproductive success is seldom independent from year to year, due to factors such as reproductive costs and individual heterogeneity. However, population projection models that incorporate temporal ... -
Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale ... -
Spatial scaling of population synchrony in marine fish depends on their life history
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The synchrony of population dynamics in space has important implications for ecological processes, for example affecting the spread of diseases, spatial distributions and risk of extinction. Here, we studied the relationship ... -
Temporal correlations among demographic parameters are ubiquitous but highly variable across species
(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 ... -

Variation in generation time reveals density regulation as an important driver of pace of life in a bird metapopulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Generation time determines the pace of key demographic and evolutionary processes. Quantified as the weighted mean age at reproduction, it can be studied as a life-history trait that varies within and among populations and ...
