In terrestrial ecosystems many species show large population fluctuations caused by pulsed resources, such as mast seeding. A prime example of a mamma...

Understanding spatial structure and identifying subpopulations are critical for estimating population growth rates and extinction risk, and as such es...

Human disturbance of natural habitats has increasingly promoted hybridization between previously isolated species. Coffee trees (Coffea canephora, C. ...

Identifying the mechanisms that facilitate invasion is crucial for the design of preventative measures and understanding the invasion process, but not...

For most ecologists, detection probability (p) is a nuisance variable that must be modelled to estimate the state variable of interest (i.e. survival,...

The detrimental impacts of invasive, non-native species on islands are widely acknowledged and it is often best to act rapidly against such species, e...

Managing populations of predators and their prey to achieve conservation or resource management goals is usually technically challenging and frequentl...

Recently habitat degradation, road construction and traffic have all increased with human populations, to the detriment of aquatic habitats and specie...

Colonization by woody plants is often very slow or absent on grasslands occupying degraded land in the tropics. Seed dispersal limitation is widely re...

The ability of animals to move through a landscape is a fundamental determinant of population persistence in fragmented habitats. This movement can be...
