Identifying and monitoring locally adaptive genetic variation can have direct utility for
conserving species at risk, especially when management may include actions such as …

Connectivity is a vital component of metapopulation and landscape ecology, influencing
fundamental processes such as population dynamics, evolution, and community responses …

Knowing how species respond to fire regimes is essential for ecologically sustainable
management. This axiom raises two important questions:(1) what knowledge is the most …

Abstract The Giant Panda National Park (GPNP) is one of the first national parks established
in China, and the consideration of its ecological sensitivity is an important part of the …

Dispersal knowledge is essential for conservation management, and demand is growing.
But are we accumulating dispersal knowledge at a pace that can meet the demand? To …

Mechanism‐based ecological models are a valuable tool for understanding the drivers of
complex ecological systems and for making informed resource‐management decisions …

Sea‐level rise will affect coastal species worldwide, but models that aim to predict these
effects are typically based on simple measures of sea level that do not capture its inherent …

Stochastic simulation models requiring many input parameters are widely used to inform the
management of ecological systems. The interpretation of complex models is aided by global …

Population viability analyses (PVAs) contribute to conservation theory, policy, and
management. Most PVAs focus on single species within a given landscape and address a …

Sensitivity analyses that assess the impact of changing vital rates on population growth have
been widely used to guide conservation. If implemented with caution, they can provide …
