Habitat destruction has driven many once-contiguous animal populations into remnant
patches of varying size and isolation. The underlying framework for the conservation of …

A major conservation concern is whether population size and other ecological variables
change linearly with habitat loss, or whether they suddenly decline more rapidly below a …

This paper is concerned with interval estimation for the breakpoint parameter in segmented
regression. We present score‐type confidence intervals derived from the score statistic itself …

Habitat loss is the dominant threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in terrestrial
environments. In this study, we used an a priori classification of bird species based on their …

The application and interpretation of statistics are central to ecological study and practice.
Ecologists are now asking more sophisticated questions than in the past. These new …

Establishing species conservation priorities and recovery goals is often enhanced by
extinction risk estimates. The need to set goals, even in data-deficient situations, has …

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), one of the world's most iconic faunal species, was
recently listed under Australian government legislation as vulnerable in the northern states …

As cities around the world rapidly expand, there is an urgent need to implement the best
development form to minimize the negative impacts of urbanization on native biodiversity …

The growing human enterprise has sparked greater interest in identifying ecological
thresholds in land use conversion beyond which populations or communities demonstrate …

The fate of much of the world's terrestrial biodiversity depends upon our ability to improve
the management of forest ecosystems that have already been substantially modified by …
