The paper identifies issues in reporting matrix population models (MPMs) and introduces a standardized protocol to improve reproducibility and clarity in their presentation.

This study uses passive acoustic monitoring to estimate the abundance of great green macaws in Costa Rica, finding a larger population than previously thought and highlighting new conservation areas.

The paper shows current abundance trend estimates are unreliable due to unaccounted phylogenetic, spatial, and temporal structures, and introduces a new framework to improve accuracy and uncertainty estimation.

This study examines 31-year trends in gastrointestinal parasite prevalence and abundance in wild Soay sheep, finding independent effects of host density and year on parasite dynamics.

This paper describes a low-cost, multiplexed chemostat system for microbial experimental evolution, specifically for studying algae adaptation to herbicides.

Rpadrino provides an R package to access and use PADRINO, a database of Integral Projection Models, enabling users to reconstruct and analyze published IPMs.

The paper introduces the ipmr R package for flexibly building, analyzing, and interpreting integral projection models in ecology.

The paper synthesizes population growth rate data from 165 plant populations to show precipitation has a larger effect on population growth than temperature, with short-lived species showing stronger responses.

This study examines demographic performance of European tree species at their hot and cold edges, finding differing constraints on growth, survival, and lifespan.

The paper analyzes how climate change affects mammal demographics globally, finding that most species experience mixed demographic responses with some rates increasing and others declining.

This paper introduces a factor analytic approach to model time-varying parameters in integral projection models, enabling eco-evolutionary insights with fewer parameters and without identifying causal factors.
