Small details affect the big picture: The response of populations to changing environments depends more on individual organisms than we can see in classical models

This blog post is provided by Mark Rademaker, Anieke van Leeuwen and Isabel Smallegange and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Why we cannot always expect life history strategies to directly inform on sensitivity to environmental change“, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In their paper, they explore individual-level tradeoffs, and how these affect trait patterns and population responses, finding that compared … Continue reading Small details affect the big picture: The response of populations to changing environments depends more on individual organisms than we can see in classical models
