Our understanding of any system constitutes a model of that system. In a reintroduction, the
systems of interest are usually the source population, the reintroduced population, the …

Time-lagged responses of biological variables to landscape modifications are widely
recognized, but rarely considered in ecological studies. In order to test for the existence of …

Many species of coral reef fish undertake ontogenetic migrations between seagrass beds,
mangroves, and coral reefs. A recent study from the Caribbean found that the availability of …

Reintroduction can be necessary for recovering populations of threatened species.
However, the success of reintroduction efforts has been poorer than many biologists and …

Knowledge of the relationship between species traits and species distribution in fragmented
landscapes is important for understanding current distribution patterns and as background …

Context Hoverflies are often used as bio-indicators for ecosystem conservation, but only few
studies have actually investigated the key factors explaining their richness in woodlands …

Aim Long‐distance dispersal is important for plant population dynamics at larger spatial
scales, but our understanding of this phenomenon is mostly based on computer modelling …

Many recent studies have explored the effects of present and past landscape structure on
species distribution and diversity. However, we know little about the effects of past …

Conservation and restoration projects often involve starting new populations by introducing
individuals into portions of their native or projected range. Such efforts can help meet many …

To date, there have been only limited attempts to conceptually unify ex situ and in situ
approaches as parts of an integrated conservation methodology. This paper is an attempt of …
