Lifetime foraging patterns of the wandering albatross: Life on the move! (2014, background): “Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the lifetime demography of animals (Clutton-Brock, 1988; Newton, 1989), due to increasing numbers of long-term studies of tracked animals (Clutton-Brock and Sheldon, 2010).”
BaSTA: an R package for Bayesian estimation of age‐specific survival from incomplete mark–recapture/recovery data with covariates (2012, background): “Understanding how survival trajectories change with age is crucial to population dynamics and is therefore an essential component of ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation science (Martin 1995; Clutton-Brock & Sheldon 2010).”
A statistical framework to explore ontogenetic growth variation among individuals and populations: a marine fish example (2015, background): “Such an individual-based perspective has facilitated the exploration of complex ecological and evolutionary questions in terrestrial animals (Clutton-Brock and Sheldon 2010) using, for example, reproductive phenology in great tits (Visser et al. 1998), body mass in Soay sheep (Ozgul et al. 2009),…”
Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, background): “Although few such investigations have been conducted for cervids in North America, individual-based studies have been the cornerstone for recent advances in understanding population ecology (Clutton-Brock and Sheldon 2010).”
Dispersal: a central and independent trait in life history (2016, background): “Survival, fecundity and age at maturity are life-history traits that are tightly linked to population-level demography (Stearns 1989, Clutton-Brock and Sheldon 2010).”
Long‐Term Studies Contribute Disproportionately to Ecology and Policy (2017, neutral): “2009, Clutton-Brock and Sheldon 2010, Magurran et al.”
Animal recognition in the Mojave Desert: Vision tools for field biologists (2013, methodology): “It is costly to monitor predation rates and habitat saturation due to the use or lack of numbers of adequate personnel and often the decisions are based on assumptions of populations densities and signs of predation.”
Individual heterogeneity and capture–recapture models: what, why and how? (2018, background): “Thanks to the increasing availability of high quality data collected during long-term individual monitoring of vertebrate populations (Clutton-Brock and Sheldon 2010), assessing the magnitude of individual heterogeneity, identifying its origin and quantifying its consequences has become a specific o”
The Contemporary Evolution of Fitness (2018, background): “First, multiple field studies of wild vertebrate populations have reached sufficient duration to measure LRS in numerous individuals (Ellegren & Sheldon 2008, Clutton-Brock & Sheldon 2010).”
Health of North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis over three decades: from individual health to demographic and population health trends (2016, background): “In this regard, long-term life history studies of identifiable individuals are invaluable in understanding the biological significance of environmental changes and anthropogenic disturbance (e.g. Kraus & Rolland 2007, Clutton-Brock & Sheldon 2010).”
