Severe decline in terrestrial insect species richness, abundance, flying biomass, and local
extinctions across Europe are cause for alarm. Here, we summarize this decline, and identify …

Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary causes of dispersal can be crucial in
understanding the behaviour of spatially structured populations, and predicting how species …

Applications of Hutchinson'sn‐dimensional niche concept are often focused on the role of
interspecific competition in sha** species distribution patterns. In this paper, I discuss a …

1. This paper describes a novel approach to modelling of metapopulation dynamics. The
model is constructed as a generalized incidence function, which describes how the fraction …

It has been proposed that inbreeding contributes to the decline and eventual extinction of
small and isolated populations,. There is ample evidence of fitness reduction due to …
