A good understanding of mammalian societies requires measuring patterns and
comprehending processes of dispersal in each sex. We investigated dispersal behaviour in …

Patch occupancy models are extremely important and popular tools for understanding the
dynamics, and predicting the persistence, of spatially structured populations. Typically this …

Background Dispersal comprises three broad stages-departure from the natal or breeding
locations, subsequent travel, and settlement. These stages are difficult to measure, and vary …

Many organisms live in fragmented populations, which has profound consequences on the
dynamics of associated parasites. Metapopulation theory offers a canonical framework for …

A number of native species, including species of conservation concern, are found in cities
worldwide. However, the persistence of these populations is uncertain given the extinction …

When assessing the abundance of small mammals using traditional methods, an
abundance index that is the number of individuals per unit of trap** effort is usually …

Context In metapopulations, colonisation is the result of dispersal from neighbouring
occupied patches, typically juveniles dispersing from natal to breeding sites. When …

Experiments were performed to estimate the effect of removal trap** with Gero trap lines
on resident population density and dispersal rate of Clethrionomys voles and Sorex shrews …

The ability of small mammals to overcome water barriers in the forest zone was studied on
the western macro slope of the Northern Urals in the upper reaches of Ilych River (which is …

Estimating dispersal—a key parameter for population ecology and management—is
notoriously difficult. The use of pedigree assignments, aided by likelihood‐based software …
