Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1158–1169 Abstract Understanding how dispersal influences the
dynamics of spatially distributed populations is a major priority of both basic and applied …

Spatial synchrony, defined as correlated temporal fluctuations among populations, is a
fundamental feature of population dynamics, but many aspects of synchrony remain poorly …

Spatial synchrony, the tendency of distant populations to fluctuate similarly, is a major
concern in ecology,,,,,,,. Except in special circumstances,, researchers historically had …

Theoretical studies predict that competition for limited resources reduces biodiversity to the
point of ecological instability, whereas strong predator/prey interactions enhance the …

There has been a recent rise in the number of experiments investigating the effect of
dispersal on diversity, with many of the predictions for these tests derived from …

The book is mainly about hybrid systems with continuous/discrete-time dynamics. The major
part of the book consists of the theory of equations with piece-wise constant argument of …

Habitat fragmentation and climate change are both prominent manifestations of global
change, but there is little knowledge on the specific mechanisms of how climate change may …

Spatial synchrony, the tendency for populations across space to show correlated
fluctuations, is a fundamental feature of population dynamics, linked to central topics of …

During the 1980s, the North Sea plankton community underwent a well‐documented
ecosystem regime shift, including both spatial changes (northward species range shifts) and …
