Spatial synchrony, defined as correlated temporal fluctuations among populations, is a
fundamental feature of population dynamics, but many aspects of synchrony remain poorly …

▪ Abstract Spatial synchrony refers to coincident changes in the abundance or other time-
varying characteristics of geographically disjunct populations. This phenomenon has been …

The recent interest in the spatial structure and dynamics of populations motivated numerous
theoretical and empirical studies of spatial synchrony, the tendency of populations to …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 163–168 Abstract Spatially separated populations of many
species fluctuate synchronously. Synchrony typically decays with increasing interpopulation …

We examined the degree and cause of intraspecific synchrony in population dynamics
between 29-42 populations for each of seven mammalian species. Regions containing …

Synchrony between fluctuations in population numbers in different regions has important
implications for the persistence of populations; asynchrony allows for the global persistence …

Explanations for the ubiquitous presence of spatially synchronous population dynamics
have assumed that density-dependent processes governing the dynamics of local …

Ecological variables often fluctuate synchronously over wide geographical areas, a
phenomenon known as spatial autocorrelation or spatial synchrony. Development of …

Spatial synchrony, the tendency for populations across space to show correlated
fluctuations, is a fundamental feature of population dynamics, linked to central topics of …

Spatial synchrony in abundance among populations at different locations has been studied
for many species. Different statistics have been used as measures of synchrony, and various …
