Connectivity is classically considered an emergent property of landscapes encapsulating
individuals' flows across space. However, its operational use requires a precise …

Genetic data are often used to assess 'population connectivity'because it is difficult to
measure dispersal directly at large spatial scales. Genetic connectivity, however, depends …

Geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs), those surrounded by uplands, exchange
materials, energy, and organisms with other elements in hydrological and habitat networks …

The influence of spatial processes on diversity and community dynamics is generally
recognized in ecology and also applied to conservation projects involving forest and …

Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. At the individual level, the three
stages of the dispersal process (ie, emigration, transience and immigration) are affected by …

Early calls for robust long-term time series of amphibian population data, stemming from
discussion following the first World Congress of Herpetology, are now being realized after …

Uncovering biodiversity as an inherent feature of ecosystems and understanding its effects
on ecosystem processes is one of the most central goals of ecology. Studying organisms' …

Movement is a fundamental process of all organisms that has strong consequences for
individual fitness, gene flow, natural selection, adaptation, population persistence …

Aim Meta‐community structure is a function of both local (site‐specific) and regional
(landscape‐level) ecological factors, and the relative importance of each may be mediated …

Explaining the mechanisms underlying patterns of species diversity and composition in
riverine networks is challenging. Historically, community ecologists have conceived of …
