“…Generally, we expect that organisms with slower life-histories are better-adapted to cope with fluctuations in the environment. Longer-lived organisms have a reduced relative effect of variability in vital rates, variability which is expected during environmental change, on population growth rates (Morris et al, 2008) and long-lived plants have weaker absolute demographic responses to weather (Compagnoni et al, 2021). However, while generally buffered, long-lived, slow reproducing animals are often more at risk of extinction (Cardillo et al, 2000), and slower to recover when perturbed (Gamelon et al, 2014; Jackson et al, 2019; Turkalo et al, 2016).…”
