Evidence for synchronous fluctuations of spatially separated populations is ubiquitous in the
literature, including accounts within and across taxa. Among the few mechanisms explaining …

Small mammal populations often exhibit large-scale spatial synchrony, which is purportedly
caused by stochastic weather-related environmental perturbations, predation or dispersal …

Insect outbreaks often occur synchronously across large spatial scales, but the long-term
temporal stability of the phenomenon and the mechanisms behind it are not well …

Although climatic forcing has been suspected to be the most common cause of spatial
population synchrony owing to the Moran effect, it has proved difficult to disentangle the …

When populations are synchronized, they rise and fall together. Analysis of population
synchrony and its relationship to distance has played a major role in population ecology but …

The sixth mass extinction poses an unparalleled quantitative challenge to conservation
biologists. Mathematicians and ecologists alike face the problem of developing models that …

Spatial synchrony in population dynamics is a ubiquitous feature across a range of taxa.
Understanding factors influencing this synchrony may shed light on important drivers of …

Due to habitat fragmentation, many of the populations in nature have been broken into
smaller subpopulations that are connected by migration (ie, metapopulation). Subpopulation …

Population synchrony occurs when local population abundances increase and decrease
simultaneously over time. In terms of other characteristics that can be measured in …

In natural ecosystems, hundreds of species typically share the same environment and are
connected by a dense network of interactions such as predation or competition for …
