The object of curiosity and admiration of scientists and conservationists, the Brazilian
Atlantic Forest is scientifically explored in this book. Over the 23 chapters written by 149 …

A better understanding of the behavior of dispersing animals will assist in determining the
factors that limit their success and ultimately help improve the way dispersal is incorporated …

Context Dispersal is a crucial process for species persistence under natural and disturbed
landscapes. The effectiveness of stepping stones as a connectivity strategy for increasing …

Assessing the potential for threatened species to persist and spread within fragmented
landscapes requires the identification of core areas that can sustain resident populations …

How organisms gather and utilize information about their landscapes is central to
understanding land-use patterns and population distributions. When such information …

Understanding species' responses to environmental conditions, and how these species–
environment associations shape spatial distributions, are longstanding goals in ecology and …

In reviews on effects of roads on animal population abundance we found that most effects
are negative; however, there are also many neutral and positive responses [Fahrig and …
