20| Huang Y, Wu C, Huang W, Liu Y, Qi M, Bai J, Dong Y, Gascoigne SJL, Ciais P, Peñuelas J, Salguero-Gómez R. Climate change has desynchronized insect and vegetation phenologies across Europe. Nature Communications. In review. (preprint link)

Here, we shope how climate change is increasing the asynchrony of phenologies of plant and insect species across Europe. This asynchrony is structured across taxa, life history and well as latitude.

18| Gascoigne SJL, Rosen A, Sanghvi K, Compagnoni A, Steiner UK, Bocedi G, Sepil I. Current perspectives and future directions in animal life history evolution. Journal of Animal Ecology. In review. (preprint link)

15| Santos GS #, Gascoigne SJL #, Dias ATC, Kajin M, Salguero-Gómez R. A unified framework to identify demographic buffering in natural populations. Ecology Letters. In review. (preprint link)

14| Veit W, Gascoigne SJL, Salguero-Gómez R. Evolution, complexity, and life history theory. Biological Theory. In review. (preprint link)

Here, we begin the philosophical argument for a new approach to quantify life history complexity in structured population models.

13| Sanghvi K, Vega-Trejo R, Nakagawa S, Gascoigne SJL, Johnson S, Salguero-Gómez R, Pizzari T, Sepil I. 2024. No consistent declines in ejaculate traits with advancing male age across animals: a meta-analysis. Nature Communications. 15(558). (link)

Here, we perform a meta-analysis testing the presence of senescence in ejaculate traits across non-human animals.

12| Gascoigne SJL, Kajin M, Salguero-Gómez R. 2023. Criteria for buffering in ecological modelling. Trends in Ecology & Evolution. 39(2), 116-118. (link)

Here, we propose and argue for a set of necessary criteria for the determination of a buffering mechanism in ecological modelling.

Here, we show how seasonal climate has broad impacts on wine quality in Bordeaux.

10| Gascoigne SJL, Rolph S, Sankey D, Nidadavolu N, Stell Pičman AS, Hernandez CM, Philpott MER, Salam A, Bernard C, Fenollosa E, Lee YJ, McLean J, Hetti Achchige Perera S, Spacey OG, Kajin M, Vinton AC, Archer CR, Burns JH, Buss DL, Caswell H, Che-Castaldo JP, Childs DZ, Capdevila P, Compagnoni A, Crone E, Ezard THG, Hodgson D, Knight TM, Jones OR, Jongejans E, McDonald J, Tenhumberg B, Thomas CC, Tyre AJ, Ramula S, Stott I, Tremblay RL, Wilson P, Vaupel JW, Salguero-Gómez R. 2023. A standard protocol to report discrete stage-structured demographic information. Methods in Ecology & Evolution, 14(8), 2065-2083. (link)

Here, we propose a standard protocol for the communication of matrix population models (MPMs), their associated metadata and outline best practices in MPM construction.

Here, we detail a new database containing trait data to contemplate the COMPADRE, COMADRE and PADRINO databases.

8| Vinton AC, Gascoigne SJL, Sepil I, Salguero-Gómez R. 2023. The importance of spatial and temporal structure in determining the interplay between plasticity and evolution. Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 38(3), 221-223. (link)

Here, we discuss the importance of environment change components (i.e., rate of mean change, variance and autocorrelation) on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity.
