TLDR
Using a two-stage model that represents a wide range of life history types, it is found that the elasticities of An or A often agree to within less than 5% error with those of the invasion exponent, even when population dynamics are chaotic, suggesting that the Elasticity analysis of density-independent models near equilibrium, or averaged over the attractor, provides useful information about the elasticity of the invade exponent in density-dependent models.About:

Demography in an increasingly variable world.
TL;DR: This work discusses how understanding the demographic consequences of environmental variation will have applications for anticipating changes in populations resulting from anthropogenic activities that affect the variance in vital rates and highlights new tools for anticipating the magnitude and temporal patterning of environmental variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
General guidelines for invasive plant management based on comparative demography of invasive and native plant populations
TL;DR: Recommendations can be applied to rapidly growing new plant invasions and at the invasion front where detailed demographic data on invasive species are lacking, and growth and fecundity transitions should be prioritized as control targets over survival transitions.

TL;DR: The results confirm the complex nature of predator–prey interactions in large terrestrial mammals, by showing that different carnivores preying on the same prey species can exert a dramatically different demographic impact, even in the same ecological context, as a direct consequence of their predation patterns.

TL;DR: A range of process-explicit models are reviewed to determine their strengths and limitations, as well as their current use, and which models best meet management needs.

An interim framework for assessing the population consequences of disturbance
Stephanie L. King,Robert S. Schick,Carl Donovan,Cormac G. Booth,Mark A. Burgman,Len Thomas,John Harwood +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an interim framework to assess the population consequences of disturbance when empirical information is sparse, and used expert elicitation to estimate parameters that define how changes in individual behaviour or physiology affect vital rates and incorporated them into a stochastic population model.

Chaos in dynamical systems
TL;DR: In the new edition of this classic textbook, the most important change is the addition of a completely new chapter on control and synchronization of chaos as mentioned in this paper, which will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in science, engineering and mathematics taking courses in chaotic dynamics, as well as to researchers in the subject.

How should we define ‘fitness’ for general ecological scenarios?
TL;DR: The core idea being that there exists a unique general fitness measure that concisely summarizes the overall time course of potential invasions by initially rare mutant phenotypes is summarized.

Elasticity: The Relative Contribution of Demographic Parameters to Population Growth Rate
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that competition for light is "asymmetric" and that the observed increases in plant size variability with increasing density may have been primarily due to competition forLight.
