Wildlife conservation necessitates understanding spatiotemporal drivers that facilitate
disease outbreaks. Wildlife diseases are influenced by population and landscape level …

Conservation is increasingly focused on preventing losses in species' populations before
they occur. Tracking changes in demographic parameters that can impact a population's …

Density dependence is often assumed in population dynamics, but its importance in small,
isolated populations has been questioned. We evaluated the relative influence of density …

Patterns in disturbance severity and time since fire can drive landscape heterogeneity that is
critical to conservation; however, there is limited understanding of how wildlife interact with …

The reintroduction of wildlife can have significant ecological impacts by altering the flow of
