population presence and abundance is essential for understanding population processes as …

The ideal free distribution posits that at equilibrium habitats of all degrees of quality should
have similar population growth rate (λ) values (≈ 1), but in fact sink habitats are often …

Agricultural activities and road construction have been reported as major causes of
landscape fragmentation. We have assessed the distribution of warrens of a burrowing …

We studied habitat use by the wild European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in a coastal
