Building useful models of species distributions requires attention to several important issues,
one being imperfect detection of species. Data sets of species detections are likely to suffer …

Translocation—moving individuals for release in different locations—is among the most
important conservation interventions for increasing or re-establishing populations of …

Deleterious effects of habitat fragmentation and benefits of connecting fragments could be
significantly underestimated because changes in colonization and extinction rates that drive …

Climate change and fire suppression have altered disturbance regimes in forest ecosystems
globally. In the seasonally dry forests of western North America, large‐scale restoration may …

An understanding of above-belowground (AG-BG) ecology is important for evaluating how
plant interactions with enemies, symbionts, and decomposers affect species diversity and …

Metapopulation ecology and landscape ecology aim to understand how spatial structure
influences ecological processes, yet these disciplines address the problem using …

Bringing Bayesian Models to Life empowers the reader to extend, enhance, and implement
statistical models for ecological and environmental data analysis. We open the black box …

Context Spatial variation in abundance is influenced by local-and landscape-level
environmental variables, but modeling landscape effects is challenging because the spatial …

Context Understanding habitat fragmentation is a critical concern for nature conservation
and the focus of intense debate in landscape ecology. Resolving the uncertainty around the …
