Connectivity is a vital component of metapopulation and landscape ecology, influencing
fundamental processes such as population dynamics, evolution, and community responses …

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 …

Biological invasions are increasingly commonplace, driven primarily by the accidental
human transport of exotic species via shipping or trade. The economic impacts can be …

Dispersal distance, the Euclidian distance between 'start'and 'end'points of a dispersal
event, is recognized as a fundamental characteristic of the dispersal process, defined here …

Survival is often estimated from capture–recapture data using Cormack–Jolly–Seber (CJS)
models, where mortality and emigration cannot be distinguished, and the estimated …

Population size and landscape connectivity are key determinants of population viability, yet
no methods exist for simultaneously estimating density and connectivity parameters …

Ecosystems are marvelous assemblages of individuals that grow, reproduce, interact with
one another, move about in space, and eventually die. Ecosystems also provide essential …

Dispersal is an inherently spatial process that can be affected by habitat conditions in sites
encountered by dispersers. Understanding landscape resistance to dispersal is important in …

A spatial open-population capture-recapture model is described that extends both the non-
spatial open-population model of Schwarz and Arnason and the spatially explicit closed …

Survival estimates generated from live capture–mark–recapture studies may be negatively
biased due to the permanent emigration of marked individuals from the study area. In the …
