Individuals and populations: the role of long-term, individual-based studies of animals in ecology and evolutionary biology.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Oct 2010

Clutton-Brock Tim, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions requires records of the life histories of recognisable individuals. We identify six advantages that long-term, individual based studies afford in ecology and evolution: (i) analysis of age structure; (ii) linkage between life history...
