It is almost certainly the case that many populations have always existed as
metapopulations, leading to the conclusion that local extinctions are common and normally …

Models are commonly used to identify lands that will best maintain the ability of wildlife to
move between wildland blocks through matrix lands after the remaining matrix has become …

It has been increasingly recognized that the type of matrix surrounding habitat patches can
affect biodiversity in landscapes, but there were only qualitative reviews of the subject …

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

Summary 1 The spread and intensification of agriculture are recognized as two of the most
important global threats to wildlife. There are clear links between agricultural change and …

Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification of
conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for …

Traditional methods for characterizing genetic differentiation among populations rely on a
priori grou** of individuals. Bayesian clustering methods avoid this limitation by using …

Whether species that have persisted throughout historic climatic upheavals will survive
contemporary climate change will depend on their ecological and physiological traits, their …

Landscape connectivity is important in designing corridor and reserve networks. Combining
genetic distances among individuals with least-cost path (LCP) modelling helps to correlate …

Spatial and temporal landscape patterns have long been recognized to influence biological
processes, but these processes often operate at scales that are difficult to study by …
