Conservation Biology, Vol. 15, No. 6 (Dec., 2001), pp. 1700-1709 (10 pages) Habitat fragmentation and the division of populations into spatially separated units have led to the increasing use of ...

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 ...

1. The analysis of metapopulation systems is to a great extent based on presence/absence patterns. It is possible to extract the rates of extinction and colonization from these patterns making several ...

Analyzing population dynamics in changing habitats is a prerequisite for population dynamics forecasting. The recent development of metapopulation modeling allows the estimation of dispersal kernels ...

For countless millions across the globe, commuting to work or school is an everyday routine. But during a pandemic, the practice can contribute enormously to the spread of infectious disease, a fact ...

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 ...

Predicting the risk of extinction is a complicated task, especially for species that migrate between breeding and wintering sites. Researchers have now developed a mathematical model that may make ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2025 — For countless millions across the globe, commuting to work or school is an everyday routine. But during a pandemic, the practice can contribute enormously to the spread of ...

The evolution of pathogens has received attention in a wide range of scientific fields, such as epidemiology, demography, and evolutionary ecology. Understanding pathogen evolution is particularly ...
