Abstract: The rapid increase in abundance of lesser snow goose (LSG; Chen caerulescens caerulescens) numbers and their devastating effects on arctic and subarctic habitats has inspired much research ...

Sutirth Dey and Amitabh Joshi of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, India used laboratory metapopulations of fruitflies in the first experimental test of whether a ...

The need to protect crop genetic resources has sparked a growing interest in the genetic diversity maintained in traditional farming systems worldwide. Although traditional seed management has been ...

Cheetahs have vanished from 90% of their historical range in Africa. A metapopulation project in South Africa has almost doubled the population of cheetahs in this project in less than nine years. The ...

Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns ...

Genetic analysis of more than 90 butterfly museum specimens from Finland revealed that populations from highly fragmented habitats can undergo rapid evolutionary changes as well as extraordinary ...

JACKSON – In 1993, Chris Servheen affixed his signature to a plan for the recovery of grizzly bears – a plan that called for rebuilding the bears’ numbers in six geographically distinct populations.

There’s a bright side to everything, perhaps even mass die-offs of animals. If one population of a species goes rapidly and completely extinct – maybe thanks to a forest fire or hurricane – it may ...

Plants are usually seen as stationary life forms, quietly supporting environments. But plant communities and populations are far from static. They are constantly being shaped by the world around them.
