Most small rodent populations in the world have fascinating population dynamics. In the
northern hemisphere, voles and lemmings tend to show population cycles with regular …

Recent advances in animal tracking reveal that many species display irregular movements
that do not fall into classical categories of movement patterns such as range residency or …

Why do organisms become extremely abundant one year and then seem to disappear a few
years later? Why do population outbreaks in particular species happen more or less …

Landscape ecology deals with the effects of the spatial configuration of mosaics on a wide
