TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of road conditions on the persistence of animal populations and found that road conditions affect animal populations detrimentally in four ways: they decrease habitat amount and quality, enhance mortality due to collisions with vehicles, prevent access to resources on the other side of the road, and subdivide animal populations into smaller and more vulnerable fractions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a framework, MoHuB (Modelling Human Behavior), to facilitate a broader inclusion of theories on human decision-making in formal natural resource management models.

TL;DR: In producing comparative predictions which are related explicitly to scales, pattern-oriented modelling seems to be a strategy well suited to the ‘scaling up’ from population ecology to community and ecosystem ecology.

TL;DR: This work uses a spatially explicit metapopulation model to estimate extinction risk, a function of the ecology of the species and the amount, quality and configuration of habitat, and finds that the expected loss of species is reduced 20-fold.

TL;DR: In this article, a general and unifying methodology for ecological economics is developed, which integrates philosophical considerations on the foundations of ecological economics with an adequate operationalization and provides a systematic and integral view on ecological economics, and thus allows the relationship between contributions to the field that have so far been perceived as very heterogeneous and largely unrelated.
