DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5028
Abstract: Abstract We studied a metapopulation of great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Iceland, using complete aerial censuses of nests in 25 years during 1975–2015. Age composition was estimated in 1998–2014 by ground surveys in September and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1653
Abstract: Humans have altered nearly every natural disturbance regime on the planet through climate and land-use change, and in many instances, these processes may have interacting effects. For example, projected shifts in temperature and precipitation will… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2711
Abstract: Understanding how metapopulations persist in dynamic working landscapes requires assessing the behaviors of key actors that change patches as well as intrinsic factors driving turnover. Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) research uses a multidisciplinary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2814
Abstract: Occurrence patterns of many sessile species in dynamic landscapes are not in equilibrium due to their slow rates of metapopulation colonization and extinction. Colonization-extinction data enable the estimation of colonization rates for such species, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3840
Abstract: Global changes can lead to species declines and extinctions through their impacts on species habitats at two distinct spatial scales: habitat destruction, in which individual habitat patches are destroyed by land-use change or natural disasters,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10144-017-0580-7
Abstract: Spatial variation in habitat quality and anthropogenic factors, as well as social structure, can lead to spatially structured populations of animals. Demographic approaches can be used to improve our understanding of the dynamics of spatially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.03.033
Abstract: Abstract South Africa holds a viable population of the endangered African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), with almost 500 individuals divided into (1) an unmanaged population in the Kruger National Park (KNP), (2) a free-roaming population,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2017.08.021
Abstract: Abstract In retrospective studies, discrete population units such as ponds may be resurveyed at a later time using only the set of initially occupied sites. There are possible confoundings that affect estimates of occupancy change… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.01.037
Abstract: The establishment and spread of a disease within a metapopulation is influenced both by dynamics within each population and by the host and pathogen spatial processes through which they are connected. We develop a spatially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-39293-0
Abstract: Most large carnivore populations currently occur in heterogeneous landscapes, with source populations embedded in a matrix of human-dominated habitats. Understanding changes in distribution of endangered carnivores is critical for prioritizing and implementing conservation strategies. We… read more here.
