Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1158–1169 Abstract Understanding how dispersal influences the
dynamics of spatially distributed populations is a major priority of both basic and applied …

Plants and animals activate defenses after perceiving pathogen-associated molecular
patterns (PAMPs) such as bacterial flagellin. In Arabidopsis, perception of flagellin increases …

Many populations occupy spatially fragmented landscapes. How dispersal affects the
asymptotic total population size is a key question for conservation management and the …

This document introduces the viable salmonid population (VSP) concept, identifies VSP
attributes, and provides guidance for determining the conservation status of populations and …

In both strictly theoretical and more applied contexts it has been historically assumed that
metapopulations exist within a featureless, uninhabitable matrix and that dynamics within …

Many species exhibit widespread spatial synchrony in population fluctuations. This pattern is
of great ecological interest and can be a source of concern when the species is rare or …

This book is about the contribution to evolutionary theory and agricultural technology of one
of humankind's most dramatic imitations of the evolu tionary process, namely crop …

A reaction-diffusion model for the evolution of dispersal rates is considered in which there is
both spatial heterogeneity and temporal periodicity. The model is restricted to two …

The theme of the book is the distribution and abundance of organisms in space and time.
The core of the book lies in how local births and deaths are tied to emigration and …

Very few experimental studies have examined how migration rate affects metapopulation
dynamics and stability. We studied the dynamics of replicate laboratory metapopulations of …
