Journal ArticleDOI

Mark C. Urban,Greta Bocedi,Andrew P. Hendry,J-B Mihoub,J-B Mihoub,Guy Pe'er,Alexander Singer,Alexander Singer,Jon R. Bridle,Lisa G. Crozier,L. De Meester,William Godsoe,Ana Gonzalez,Jessica J.

TL;DR: This work identifies six biological mechanisms that commonly shape responses to climate change yet are too often missing from current predictive models and prioritize the types of information needed to inform each of these mechanisms, and suggests proxies for data that are missing or difficult to collect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metapopulation persistence in dynamic landscapes: the role of dispersal distance
TL;DR: The results show that the impact of the dispersal range depends on both the local population and patch growth, and long-range dispersal lost its advantage for long-term persistence when the number of potential dispersers was low due to small population growth rates and/or small patch growth rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do simple models lead to generality in ecology
Matthew R. Evans,Volker Grimm,Karin Johst,Tarja Knuuttila,Rogier De Langhe,C. M. Lessells,Martina Merz,Maureen A. O’Malley,Steve H. Orzack,Michael Weisberg,Darren J. Wilkinson,Olaf Wolkenhauer,Tim G. Benton +12 more
TL;DR: It is argued here that viewing simple models as the main way to achieve generality may be an obstacle to the progress of ecological research, and how complex models can be both desirable and general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deleterious Mutations Can Surf to High Densities on the Wave Front of an Expanding Population
Justin M. J. Travis,Justin M. J. Travis,Tamara Münkemüller,Tamara Münkemüller,Olivia J. Burton,Alex Best,Alex Best,Calvin Dytham,Calvin Dytham,Karin Johst +9 more
TL;DR: The surfing effect can lead to deleterious mutations reaching high densities at an expanding front, even when they have substantial negative effects on fitness, and is suggested to have important consequences for rates of spread and the evolution of spatially expanding populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of mowing on the persistence of two endangered large blue butterfly species
TL;DR: It is essential that the recommended mowing regimes are applied across several connected meadows within reach of dispersing butterflies if both butterflies are to be conserved in a region.
