Animal dispersal in a fragmented landscape depends on the complex interaction between
landscape structure and animal behavior. To better understand how individuals disperse, it …

Uncertainty in estimates of survival of dispersing animals is a vexing difficulty in
conservation biology. The current notion is that this uncertainty decreases the usefulness of …

A wide variety of topographical and environmental elements have been shown or proposed
to influence the movement decisions of dispersing animals. Most real landscapes have …

Context Dispersal plays a key role in linking populations, habitat (re)-colonization, and
species range expansion. As fragmentation and habitat loss are ubiquitous threats and can …

A grid‐based random walk model has been developed to simulate animal dispersal, taking
landscape heterogeneity and linear barriers such as roads and rivers into account. The …

This paper describes the development and application of a spatially explicit, individual
based model of animal dispersal (J-walk) to determine the relative effects of landscape …

Understanding and predicting the dynamics of range expansion is a major topic in ecology
both for invasive species extending their ranges into non‐native regions and for species …

Spatially explicit simulation models of varying degree of complexity are increasingly used in
landscape and species management and conservation. The choice as to which type of …

Many simulations of plant or animal dispersal across landscapes fragmented by human
activity have represented the environment as habitat or non-habitat. Here, the …

Understanding the impacts of habitat fragmentation on dispersal is an important issue in
landscape and conservation ecology. Here I examine the effects of fine-to broad-scale …
