Hernández et al. demonstrated that the apparent resilience of a population can increase or decrease with population density, depending on the resilience metric and the vital rate target of DD.

Evolution is faster with stronger selection, but this may come with a demographic cost. Xu & Osmond characterized conditions when the chance of evolutionary rescue increases with the strength of selection across different scenarios.

Ma et al. discover that light & soil trumps crowding in young tropical tree growth, but here's the puzzle: while traits help species thrive in different habitats, they don't predict how they handle same-species interaction!
