Without using life tables, senescence rates in annual individual fitness is examined using 20 individual-based data sets of terrestrial vertebrates with contrasting life histories and body size to assess the robustness of the prevalent life-table approach.

Based on long-term studies of growing populations of birds and mammals, population dynamics is analyzed by using fluctuations in the total reproductive value of the population to account for random fluctuations in age distribution.

It is shown that the frequency of spring rainfall affects the timing of breeding, with birds breeding later in wetter springs, implying that climate change is exposing birds to the stochastic risks of late reproduction by causing them to start breeding relatively late in the season.

The integrated approach demonstrates that the presence of spatial processes regarding one trait does not mean that they necessarily play an important role in regulating population growth, and demonstrates the complexity of the regulatory process.
Declining survival rates in a reintroduced population of the Mauritius kestrel: evidence for non‐linear density dependence and environmental stochasticity
Summary
1
We studied a reintroduced population of the formerly critically endangered Mauritius kestrel Falco punctatus Temmink from its inception in 1987 until 2002, by which time the population…
The short- and long-term fitness consequences of natal dispersal in a wild bird population.
- M. Nevoux, D. Arlt, M. Nicoll, C. Jones, K. Norris
- Environmental Science, BiologyEcology Letters
- 1 April 2013
Evidence is found of both short- and long-term fitness consequences of natal dispersal in females, including reduced fecundity in early life and more rapid aging in later life, which indicates that dispersalIn early life might shape life history strategies in wild populations.
