Amphibians have declined dramatically in many areas of the world. These declines seem to
have worsened over the past 25 years and amphibians are now more threatened than either …

Amphibians are frequently characterized as having limited dispersal abilities, strong site
fidelity and spatially disjunct breeding habitat. As such, pond‐breeding species are often …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Connectivity is a major concern for the maintenance of wildlife populations, ecological flows,
and many other landscape functions. For these reasons many different connectivity indices …

Summary 1 I synthesize the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure
and animal movement in human‐modified landscapes. 2 The variety of landscape structures …

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 …

Large, wide-ranging carnivores face greater threats and more persistent declines than most
other mammal species. An important conservation tool for these carnivores has been range …

We present generalized regression analysis and spatial prediction (GRASP) conceptually as
a method for producing spatial predictions using statistical models, and introduce and …

Summary 1 Better tools are needed to predict population connectivity in complex
landscapes.'Least‐cost modelling'is one commonly employed approach in which dispersal …

Pool‐breeding amphibian populations operate at multiple scales, from the individual pool to
surrounding upland habitat to clusters of pools. When metapopulation dynamics play a role …
