Inter‐population variation in demographic parameters: a neglected subject?
Demographic parameters and population growth rates vary among populations of the same species. Such variation can be extensive, as shown by a comparison of nine published studies of black‐legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla . We argue that rather than being a nuisance, inter‐population variation can...
