TL;DR: The American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) published guidelines for the use of wild mammal species in research as mentioned in this paper, which provide a broad and comprehensive understanding of the biology of nondomesticated mammals in their natural environments.

TL;DR: A general framework for understanding the ecological processes that operate at landscape scales is described and the composition of habitat types in a landscape and the physiognomic or spatial arrangement of those habitats are the two essential features that are required to describe any landscape.

TL;DR: The model allows us to compare the relative contribution of different types of habitats to a species' growth rate and population size and predict how the loss of habitat of a particular type may affect a population.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that corridors not only increase the exchange of animals between patches, but also facilitate two key plant–animal interactions: pollination and seed dispersal, and suggested that increased plant and animal movement through corridors will have positive impacts on plant populations and community interactions in fragmented landscapes.

TL;DR: Spatially explicit population models are becoming increasingly useful tools for population ecologists, conservation biologists, and land managers as discussed by the authors, where the locations of habitat patches, individuals, and other items of interest are explicitly incorporated into the model and the effect of changing landscape features on population dynamics can be studied.
