Metapopulation biology is concerned with the dynamic consequences of migration among
local populations and the conditions of regional persistence of species with unstable local …

Genetic studies have typically inferred the effects of human impact by documenting patterns
of genetic differentiation and levels of genetic diversity among potentially isolated …

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species
Occurrence, Second Edition, provides a synthesis of model-based approaches for analyzing …

The idea for this book came from the time the authors spent at the Statistics and Applied
Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina …

Metapopulation is the ecological term for assemblages of plant and animal species within
larger areas of space, with long-term survival of the species depending on a shifting balance …

Long‐distance seed dispersal influences many key aspects of the biology of plants,
including spread of invasive species, metapopulation dynamics, and diversity and dynamics …

Between fifty and ten thousand years ago, most large mammals became extinct everywhere
except Africa. Slow-breeding animals also were hard hit, regardless of size. This unusual …

Neither linear nor two‐dimensional frameworks may be the most appropriate for fish and
other species constrained to disperse within river–creek systems. In particular, the …

The abilities of species to use the matrix of modified habitats surrounding forest fragments
may affect their vulnerability in fragmented landscapes. We used long-term (up to 19-year) …

Many animals are regarded as relatively sedentary and specialized in marginal parts of their
geographical distributions,. They are expected to be slow at colonizing new habitats …
