We reviewed research on wildlife overpasses in the context of their genetic effectiveness to
provide connectivity between population patches that have been isolated by road …

Decisions under the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) require scientific input on the risk
that the species will become extinct. A series of critiques on the role of science in ESA …

Anthropogenic environmental modification is placing as many as 1 million species at risk of
extinction. One management action for reducing extinction risk is translocation of individuals …

Anthropogenic habitat modification often creates barriers to animal movement, transforming
formerly contiguous habitat into a patchwork of habitat islands with low connectivity …

The wildland–urban interface (WUI) is the area in which human settlements adjoin or
intermix with ecosystems. Although research on the WUI has been focused on wildfire risk to …

Prioritizing sites for localized mitigation measures, and forecasting the effect of interventions
on an endangered population, requires an understanding of the spatial scales at which …

To empirically determine the effects of sample size on commonly used measures of average
genetic diversity, we genotyped 200 song sparrows Melospiza melodia from two …

Security infrastructure along international boundaries threatens to degrade connectivity for
wildlife. To explore potential effects of a fence under construction along the US–Mexico …

We investigate a cornucopia of problems associated with the identity of the desert tortoise,
Gopherus agassizii (Cooper). The date of publication is found to be 1861, rather than 1863 …

While demographic changes in short-lived species may be observed relatively quickly in
response to climate changes, measuring population responses of long-lived species …
