Journal ArticleDOI
VORTEX: a computer simulation model for population viability analysis
TL;DR: PVA by simulation modelling is an important tool for identifying populations at risk of extinction, determining the urgency of action, and evaluating options for management, providing opportunity for more complete analysis than is possible by other techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of Genetic Variation to the Viability of Mammalian Populations
TL;DR: Small populations lose genetic variability because of genetic drift, and inbreeding within populations can further decrease individual variability, and genetic threats to population viability will be expressed through their effects on and interactions with demographic and ecological processes.
Structure of the VORTEX simulation model for population viability analysis
TL;DR: The structure of the VORTEX computer simulation model for population viability analysis is outlined and the program flow is described here in order to provide a detailed specification of the structure of a widely used population viabilityAnalysis model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing a simulation model for population viability analysis
TL;DR: A field-based test of the widely available generic computer simulation model VORTEX for population viability analysis (PVA) was conducted to predict the abundance of three species of arboreal marsupials in a system of 39 remnant patches of Eucalyptus forest embedded within a 5050-ha area of exotic radiata pine in southeastern Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation and Management of Anacapa Island Deer Mice
TL;DR: A novel type of population viability analysis was used to develop a captive breeding and reintroduction plan for Anacapa deer mice should they be eradicated along with the rats.
