Increasing connectivity is frequently proposed as an effective strategy to address biodiversity
decline within fragmented habitats. Woodland habitats in Great Britain have been …

Classical metapopulation (CM) theory considers that species persistence in the landscape
depends on a turnover of extinction-(re) colonisation of suitable habitat patches at each …

Abstract The United Nations climate treaty may soon include a mechanism for compensating
tropical nations that succeed in reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest …

Explaining functional connectivity among occupied habitats is crucial for understanding
metapopulation dynamics and species ecology. Landscape genetics has primarily focused …

Summary 1 Mowing influences two endangered butterfly species, Maculinea nausithous and
Maculinea teleius, directly through egg destruction and larval mortality on the mown plants …

The IUCN is the leading authority on assessing species' extinction risks worldwide and

We examined fine‐scale genetic variation among breeding aggregations of the spotted
salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) to quantify dispersal, interpopulation connectivity and …

Patch occupancy models are extremely important and popular tools for understanding the
dynamics, and predicting the persistence, of spatially structured populations. Typically this …

This study investigates the dynamics and viability of a marsh fritillary butterfly Euphydryas
aurinia metapopulation in a Belgian successional landscape. Based on capture–mark …

Microbial communities thrive in virtually every habitat on Earth and are essential to the
function of diverse ecosystems. Most microbial habitats are not spatially continuous and well …
