Tree hollows support a specialised species‐rich fauna. We review the habitat requirements
of saproxylic (= deadwood dependent) invertebrates which occupy tree hollows. We focus …

Aim Stochastic patch occupancy models (SPOMs) are a type of spatial population
simulation. They are arguably well‐suited to guide conservation in human‐altered …

Conservation of at‐risk species is aided by reliable forecasts of the consequences of
environmental change and management actions on population viability. Forecasts from …

Understanding the colonization process of species living in a dynamic fragmented habitat is
essential to assess their persistence. In the metapopulation theory, the colonization of a …

Seed banks are known to play a key role in plant metapopulations. However, detecting seed
banks remains challenging and requires intense monitoring efforts. Assessing the genuine …

Context Metapopulation theory makes useful predictions for conservation in fragmented
landscapes. For randomly distributed habitat patches, it predicts that the ability of a …

We develop a spatially realistic model of mutualistic metacommunities that exploits the joint
structure of spatial and interaction networks. Assuming that all species have the same …

This thesis focuses on the construction and study of stochastic population genetics models
for expanding populations. We build different models using a concept from the theory of …

Cette thèse porte sur la construction et l'étude de modèles probabilistes de génétique des
populations pour les populations en expansion. Nous construisons ces modèles à partir …
