Evolution drives, and is driven by, demography. A genotype moulds its phenotype’s age
patterns of mortality and fertility in an environment; these two patterns in turn determine the …

Although one-quarter of plant and vertebrate species are threatened with extinction, little is
known about the potential effect of extinctions on the global diversity of ecological strategies. …

… We implemented PGLS regressions in R with the package ape (59). We used a Brownian
motion model of evolution rather than the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model, because in the very few …

Animals exhibit an extraordinary diversity of life history strategies. These realized
combinations of survival, development and reproduction are predicted to be constrained by …

The identification of patterns in life-history strategies across the tree of life is essential to our
prediction of population persistence, extinction, and diversification. Plants exhibit a wide …

Biodiversity loss is a major challenge. Over the past century, the average rate of vertebrate
extinction has been about 100-fold higher than the estimated background rate and population …

Schedules of survival, growth and reproduction are key life‐history traits. Data on how these
traits vary among species and populations are fundamental to our understanding of the …

Drylands occupy large portions of the Earth, and are a key terrestrial biome from the socio-ecological
point of view. In spite of their extent and importance, the impacts of global …

… Here, we review important resources for building IPM s and provide a comprehensive
guide, with extensive R code, for their construction. IPM s can be applied to any stage‐structured …

… We provide R code to some of these examples. … We provide several examples of R
code in the Online Appendix 4 to help users subset data based on various selection criteria. …
