Rosa G, Schmidt B, Lena J, Monod-Broca B, Vignoli L, Tournier E, et al.
J Anim Ecol . 2025 Jan; 94(3):436-448. PMID: 39829072
Population matrix models are routinely used to study the demography of wild populations and to guide management choices. When vital rates are unknown for a specific population or life history...

Moor H, Bergamini A, Vorburger C, Holderegger R, Buhler C, Bircher N, et al.
Conserv Biol . 2024 May; 38(6):e14165. PMID: 38711380
The success of ponds constructed to restore ecological infrastructure for pond-breeding amphibians and benefit aquatic biodiversity depends on where and how they are built. We studied effects of pond and...

Erens J, Preissler K, Speybroeck J, Beukema W, Spitzen-van der Sluijs A, Stark T, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2023 Sep; 290(2007):20230510. PMID: 37752840
Understanding wildlife responses to novel threats is vital in counteracting biodiversity loss. The emerging pathogen () causes dramatic declines in European salamander populations, and is considered an imminent threat to...

Moor H, Bergamini A, Vorburger C, Holderegger R, Buhler C, Egger S, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Oct; 119(42):e2123070119. PMID: 36215493
Success stories are rare in conservation science, hindered also by the research-implementation gap, where scientific insights rarely inform practice and practical implementation is rarely evaluated scientifically. Amphibian population declines, driven...

Cayuela H, Monod-Broca B, Lemaitre J, Besnard A, Gippet J, Schmidt B, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Sep; 119(38):e2206805119. PMID: 36095177
Habitat anthropization is a major driver of global biodiversity decline. Although most species are negatively affected, some benefit from anthropogenic habitat modifications by showing intriguing life-history responses. For instance, increased...

Reinke B, Cayuela H, Janzen F, Lemaitre J, Gaillard J, Lawing A, et al.
Science . 2022 Jun; 376(6600):1459-1466. PMID: 35737773
Comparative studies of mortality in the wild are necessary to understand the evolution of aging; yet, ectothermic tetrapods are underrepresented in this comparative landscape, despite their suitability for testing evolutionary...

Cayuela H, Lemaitre J, Lena J, Ronget V, Martinez-Solano I, Muths E, et al.
Evolution . 2021 Dec; 76(2):346-356. PMID: 34878663
Sex-related differences in mortality are widespread in the animal kingdom. Although studies have shown that sex determination systems might drive lifespan evolution, sex chromosome influence on aging rates have not...

Cayuela H, Lemaitre J, Muths E, McCaffery R, Fretey T, Le Garff B, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2021 Nov; 118(49). PMID: 34845023
Variation in temperature is known to influence mortality patterns in ectotherms. Even though a few experimental studies on model organisms have reported a positive relationship between temperature and actuarial senescence...

Mol Ecol . 2021 Sep; 30(20):5009-5028. PMID: 34490661
Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution with far reaching consequences for the dynamics and genetics of spatially structured populations (SSPs). Individuals can adjust their decisions to disperse...
