The interaction of gradual climate trends and extreme weather events since the turn of the
century has triggered complex and, in some cases, catastrophic ecological responses …

Despite substantial conservation efforts, the loss of ecosystems continues globally, along
with related declines in species and nature's contributions to people. An effective ecosystem …

An understanding of risks to biodiversity is needed for planning action to slow current rates
of decline and secure ecosystem services for future human use. Although the IUCN Red List …

MARK provides parameter estimates from marked animals when they are re-encountered at
a later time as dead recoveries, or live recaptures or re-sightings. The time intervals between …

The realization of conservation goals requires strategies for managing whole landscapes
including areas allocated to both production and protection. Reserves alone are not …

Long‐term ecological studies are critical for providing key insights in ecology, environmental
change, natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. In this paper, we …

Stochastic factors affecting the demography of a single population are analyzed to
determine the relative risks of extinction from demographic stochasticity, environmental …

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These
computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population …

We provide a broad overview of the underlying philosophy of ecological monitoring. We
argue that the major characteristics of effective monitoring programs typically include:(1) …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …
