Navigating the complexity of ecological stability
Ian Donohue,Helmut Hillebrand,José M. Montoya,Owen L. Petchey,Stuart L. Pimm,Mike S. Fowler,Kevin Healy,Andrew L. Jackson,Miguel Lurgi,Deirdre McClean,Nessa E. O'Connor,Eoin J. O'Gorman,Qiang Yang +12 more
TL;DR: This work assesses the scientific and policy literature and provides recommendations for theoreticians, empiricists and policymakers on how to better integrate the multidimensional nature of ecological stability into their research, policies and actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the dimensionality of ecological stability
Ian Donohue,Owen L. Petchey,José M. Montoya,Andrew L. Jackson,Luke McNally,Mafalda Viana,Kevin Healy,Miguel Lurgi,Miguel Lurgi,Nessa E. O'Connor,Mark C. Emmerson +10 more
TL;DR: This work presents a new view of ecological stability that recognises explicitly the non-independence of components of stability, and proposes a multidimensional stability framework that gives a far richer understanding of how communities respond to perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology and mode-of-life explain lifespan variation in birds and mammals
Kevin Healy,Thomas Guillerme,Sive Finlay,Adam Kane,Seán B. A. Kelly,Deirdre McClean,David J. Kelly,Ian Donohue,Andrew L. Jackson,Natalie Cooper +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, over and above the effect of body mass, the most important factor enabling longer lifespan is the ability to fly, which was true for non-volant species, where lifespan correlated positively with both arboreality and fossoriality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal life history is shaped by the pace of life and the distribution of age-specific mortality and reproduction
Kevin Healy,Kevin Healy,Kevin Healy,Thomas H. G. Ezard,Owen R. Jones,Roberto Salguero-Gómez,Yvonne M. Buckley +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of demographic data from 121 species shows that animal life history strategies vary across two axes of variation defined by the pace of life and the distribution of a species’ mortality and reproduction over their life course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic rate and body size are linked with perception of temporal information
TL;DR: A phylogenetic comparative analysis of a wide range of vertebrates is carried out to suggest that time perception may constitute an important and overlooked dimension of niche differentiation.
