Laboratory microcosm experiments using protists as model organisms have a long tradition
and are widely used to investigate general concepts in population biology, community …

After more than a century of being regarded as botanical oddities, carnivorous plants have
emerged as model systems that are appropriate for addressing a wide array of ecological …

We address a generalization of the concept of metapopulation capacity for trees and
networks acting as the template for ecological interactions. The original measure had been …

Fragmented populations possess an intriguing duplicity: even if subpopulations are reliably
extinction-prone, asynchrony in local extinctions and recolonizations makes global …

A discrete reaction-diffusion model was used to estimate long-term equilibrium populations
of a hypothetical species inhabiting patchy landscapes to examine the relative importance of …

Metapopulation models have been instrumental in quantifying the ecological impact of
landscape structure on the survival of a focal species. However, extensions to multiple …

Predicting the spread of populations across fragmented habitats is vital if we are to manage
their persistence in the long term. We applied network theory with a model and an …

A central question in ecology with great importance for management, conservation and
biological control is how changing connectivity affects the persistence and dynamics of …

Despite many studies showing that landscape corridors increase dispersal and species
richness for disparate taxa, concerns persist that corridors can have unintended negative …

Habitat transformation is one of the leading causes of changes in biodiversity and the
breakdown of ecosystem function and services. The impacts of habitat transformation on …
