Multispecies migratory connectivity indicates hemispheric-scale risk to bird populations from global change
Global agreements to reduce the extinction risk of migratory species depend critically on intersecting migratory connectivity—the linking of indi…
Relationships between intrinsic population growth rate, carrying capacity and metabolism in microbial populations
Introduction In their simplest form, the dynamics of populations are described in terms of two parameters: r, the intrinsic rate of increase; and K, the…
Population genetic diversity and environmental adaptation of Tamarix hispida in the Tarim Basin, arid Northwestern China
Arid ecosystems, characterized by severe water scarcity, play a crucial role in preserving Earth’s biodiversity and resources. The Tarim Basin in…
Kinship clustering within an ecologically diverse killer whale metapopulation
Metapopulation dynamics can be shaped by foraging ecology, and thus be sensitive to shifts in prey availability. Genotyping 204 North Atlantic kill…
