Many pathogens persist in multihost systems, making the identification of infection reservoirs
crucial for devising effective interventions. Here, we present a conceptual framework for …

How can we track population trends when monitoring data are sparse? Population declines
can go undetected, despite ongoing threats. For example, only one of every 200 harvested …

As ectothermic organisms, butterflies have widely been used as models to explore the
predicted impacts of climate change. However, most studies explore only one life stage; to …

In Borchers et al.(2002), a unifying framework was given for the plethora of methods for
estimating the abundance of closed populations of animals. In Chap. 13 of that book, the …

Long‐term observational studies conducted at large (regional) spatial scales contribute to
better understanding of landscape effects on population and evolutionary dynamics …

Metapopulation ecology and landscape ecology aim to understand how spatial structure
influences ecological processes, yet these disciplines address the problem using …

The reintroduction of a species into its historic range is a critical component of conservation
programmes designed to restore extirpated metapopulations. However, many reintroduction …

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

The ecological impacts of extreme climatic events on population dynamics and community
composition are profound and predominantly negative. Using extensive data of an …

Although encounters between organisms are fundamental to many ecological processes, a
general theory of encounters that accounts for random movements and probabilistic events …
