Generalized Single Index Models and Jensen Effects on Reproduction and Survival
Zi Ye, Giles Hooker, Stephen P. Ellner
Environmental variability often has substantial impacts on natural populations and communities through its effects on the performance of individuals. Because organisms' responses t…
The Jensen Effect and Functional Single Index Models: Estimating the Ecological Implications of Nonlinear Reaction Norms
Zi Ye, Giles Hooker, Stephen Ellner
This paper develops tools to characterize how species are affected by environmental variability, based on a functional single index model relating a response such as growth rate or…
Human judgment vs. theoretical models for the management of ecological resources
Matthew Holden, Stephen Ellner
Despite major advances in quantitative approaches to natural resource management, there has been resistance to using these tools in the actual practice of managing ecological popul…
Goodness of fit in nonlinear dynamics: Misspecified rates or misspecified states?
Giles Hooker, Stephen P. Ellner
This paper introduces diagnostic tests for the nature of lack of fit in ordinary differential equation models (ODEs) proposed for data. We present a hierarchy of three possible sou…
Rapid contemporary evolution and clonal food web dynamics
Laura E. Jones, Lutz Becks, Stephen P. Ellner +3
Character evolution that affects ecological community interactions often occurs contemporaneously with temporal changes in population size, potentially altering the very nature of…
Temporally variable dispersal and demography can accelerate the spread of invading species
Stephen P. Ellner, Sebastian J. Schreiber
We analyze how temporal variability in local demography and dispersal combine to affect the rate of spread of an invading species. Our model combines state-structured local demogra…
Effects of rapid prey evolution on predator-prey cycles
Laura E. Jones, Stephen P. Ellner
We study the qualitative properties of population cycles in a predator-prey system where genetic variability allows contemporary rapid evolution of the prey. Previous numerical stu…
Evolutionary tradeoff and equilibrium in an aquatic predator-prey system
Laura E. Jones, Stephen P. Ellner
Due to the conventional distinction between ecological (rapid) and evolutionary (slow)timescales, ecological and population models to date have typically ignored the effects of evo…
