Towards a unified framework for connectivity that disentangles movement and mortality in space and time

RJ Fletcher Jr, JA Sefair, C Wang, CL Poli… - Ecology …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Predicting connectivity, or how landscapes alter movement, is essential for understanding
the scope for species persistence with environmental change. Although it is well known that …

Local extinction risk under climate change in a neotropical asymmetrically dispersed epiphyte

MA Acevedo, L Beaudrot… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library

The rescue effect and inference from isolation–extinction relationships

ND Van Schmidt, SR Beissinger - Ecology Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The rescue effect in metapopulations hypothesises that less isolated patches are unlikely to
go extinct because recolonisation may occur between breeding seasons ('recolonisation …

Disturbance and distributions: avoiding exclusion in a warming world

D Sheil - Ecology and Society, 2016 - JSTOR
I highlight how disturbance determines species distributions and the implications for
conservation practice. In particular, I describe opportunities to mitigate some of the threats to …

Incorporating symmetrical and asymmetrical dispersal into Ecological Niche Models in freshwater environments

MR Parreira, G Tessarolo, JC Nabout - Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2023 - SciELO Brasil
Aim Ecological niche models (ENMs) are based mainly on environmental (mostly climatic)
and occurrence data to predict the potential distribution of species. In freshwater habitats …

The demographic contributions of connectivity versus local dynamics to population growth of an endangered bird

BE Reichert, RJ Fletcher Jr… - Journal of Animal …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Conservation and management increasingly focus on connectivity, because connectivity
driven by variation in immigration rates across landscapes is thought to be crucial for …

Consistent scaling of population structure across landscapes despite intraspecific variation in movement and connectivity

BE Reichert, RJ Fletcher Jr, CE Cattau… - Journal of Animal …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the spatial scale of population structure is fundamental to long‐standing

The proximate causes of asymmetric movement across heterogeneous landscapes

MA Acevedo, RJ Fletcher - Landscape Ecology, 2017 - Springer
Context Asymmetric movements, in which the probability of moving from patch i to patch j is
not necessarily the same as moving in the opposite direction, may be the rule more than the …
