Population Responses to Perturbations: The Importance of Trait-Based Analysis Illustrated through a Microcosm Experiment

Environmental change continually perturbs populations from a stable state, leading to transient dynamics that can last multiple generations. Several long-term studies have reported changes in trait distributions along with demographic response to environmental change. Here we conducted an experiment...
