Spatial heterogeneity in density dependence across life‐history stages drives the dynamics of a bird metapopulationNARA Subscribed
Density‐dependent effects on individual vital rates play a critical role in determining a population's equilibrium size and rate of return following stochastic disturbances. In fragmented landscapes, spatial variation in density dependence across life‐history stages causes heterogeneity in limitations of population growth, which influences extinction‐persistence dynamics. As habitat loss leads to increased landscape fragmentat...
Habitat loss is leading to smaller fragmented populations, increasing their susceptibility to stochasticity. Quantifying the effects of demographic and environmental stochasticity on population dynamics and the contribution of selection versus drift to phenotypic change is essential to assess the potential consequences of environmental change. We examined how stochasticity influenced population growth and body mass changes ove...
In this paper, we conduct a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of five alternative management strategies for red deer in Denmark: free harvest, trophy hunting, maximum harvest and two cases for natural demographic population compositions. To capture the outcome under each strategy we use a biological sex- and age-structured population model. The net benefit function includes meat values, recreational values, browsing damage costs and...
Fibro-adipogenesis in Injured Rotator Cuff MuscleNARA Subscribed
Purpose of Review Fibro-adipogenic progenitors were first characterized in 2010 and later found to contribute significantly to muscle regeneration and mediate degenerative changes in muscle following injury. These progenitors were also found to have an influence on the rotator cuff muscle’s response to chronic injury which is defined by fibrosis accompanied by massive fatty degeneration. The purpose of this review is to highli...
Aim Nest building is widespread among animals. Nests may provide receptacles for eggs, developing offspring and the parents, and protect them from adverse environmental conditions. Nests may also indicate the quality of the territory and its owner and can be considered as an extended phenotype of its builder(s). Nests may, thus, function as a sexual and social signal. Here, we examined ecological and abiotic factors — temperat...
