Elasticity is a perturbation measure in matrix projection models that quantifies the
proportional change in population growth rate as a function of a proportional change in a …

Estimation of demographic parameters is central to research questions in wildlife
management, conservation, and evolutionary ecology. I review the 7 major classes of mark …

The species problem has triggered the publication of an almost infinite number of theoretical
and practical studies, including quite a number of books. I should, therefore, perhaps briefly …

A central goal in ecology is to predict population dynamics from demographic information.
Based on the asymptotic population growth rate λ, calculated from a projection matrix model …

We examine why demographic models should be used cautiously in Population Viability
Analysis (PVA) with endangered species. We review the structure, data requirements, and …

Completely revised and updated with 18 new chapters, this second edition includes
contributions from over 75 international experts. Also, a Technical Review Board reviewed …

Effects of small population size and reduced genetic variation on the viability of wild animal
populations remain controversial. During a 35-year study of a remnant population of greater …

Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with astonishing potential for
contributing solutions to wildlife conservation and management challenges. And yet, much …

I explored the effect of uncertainty in demographic traits on demographic analyses of sharks,
an approach not used before for this taxon. I used age‐structured life tables and Leslie …

Inventory, monitoring, and experimental studies have been the primary approaches for
documenting and understanding the problem of amphibian declines. However, little …
