What makes some plant populations more resilient than others to year-to-year environmental change? Not reproduction or growth, but simply surviving: and it depends most on aridity, not temperature. New from @robsalgo.bsky.social @salgoteam.bsky.social @ecosantos.bsky.social 👇

Our paper on transient dynamics and nonlinear fitness it out in Ecology! We present a matrix framework that links pulse (one-time) and press (sustained) perturbations, showing how transient nonlinearities and demography shape fitness. (1/3) esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Disturbances can occur as short-lived pulses (e.g., storms) or sustained presses (e.g., chronic drought). Much work in ecology has developed methods to help predict how natural populations respond to...

Below are two characters representing large reproductive individuals of different species of Asteraceae, and two characters representing small individuals of these species. The large individuals are drawn engaging in a fight in an argument, as well as the small individuals. However, the fight is only happening between individuals of the same life stage.
