Connections Matter: How Patterns of Habitat Connectivity Affect Population Dynamics

This blog post is provided by Paulina A. Arancibia and Peter J. Morin and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Network topology and patch connectivity affect dynamics in experimental and model metapopulations”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Global change has increased the rate at which habitats are fragmented, increasing the creation of spatially discontinuous populations linked by migration (metapopulations). The … Continue reading Connections Matter: How Patterns of Habitat Connectivity Affect Population Dynamics

How complex should a model be? Inferences from a long-term study of an island reintroduction

This blog post is provided by Doug P. Armstrong and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Capturing the dynamics of small populations: A retrospective assessment using long-term data for an island reintroduction”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. The one factor common to long-term studies is that they are never planned. Instead, they evolve serendipitously as opportunities present themselves. Start of … Continue reading How complex should a model be? Inferences from a long-term study of an island reintroduction
