We evaluated the conditions under which patch size effects are important determinants of
local population density for animals living in patchy landscapes. This information was used …

Land-use change models are used by researchers and professionals to explore the
dynamics and drivers of land-use/land-cover change and to inform policies affecting such …

Representing human decisions is of fundamental importance in agent-based models.
However, the rationale for choosing a particular human decision model is often not …

This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These
computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population …

We examine why demographic models should be used cautiously in Population Viability
Analysis (PVA) with endangered species. We review the structure, data requirements, and …

The ecological consequences of habitat fragmentation include the direct effects of habitat
loss and the indirect effects of reduced inter-patch dispersal. In particular, habitat patches …

The goal of this chapter is to describe the state of the art in quantitative corridor and
