Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

The Allee effect describes a scenario in which populations at low numbers are affected by a
positive relationship between population growth rate and density, which increases their …

Many ecological phenomena may be modelled using apparently random processes
involving space (and possibly time). Such phenomena are classified as spatial in their …

Written by a world-respected scientist on the subject of the book, this is an advanced text for
students of ecology, population biology and evolution, as well as professional ecologists …

Elements of Mathematical Ecology provides an introduction to classical and modern
mathematical models, methods, and issues in population ecology. The first part of the book …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

This paper discusses the recent progress in understanding the properties of transient
dynamics in complex ecological systems. Predicting long-term trends as well as sudden …

Warder C. Allee brought attention to the possibility of a positive relationship between
aspects of fitness and population size 50 years ago. Until recently, however, this concept …

Invasive nonindigenous plant species (NIPS) threaten native diversity, alter ecosystem
processes, and may interact with other components of global environmental change. Here, a …

Models that describe the spread of invading organisms often assume that the dispersal
distances of propagules are normally distributed. In contrast, measured dispersal curves are …
