TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a conceptual framework for classifying habitat quality that requires the construc- tion of separate habitat models for each key demographic feature; the framework can be applied when the factors that determine different demographic processes differ substantially.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the amount and location of potentially suitable lynx habitat in Germany, estimate the connectivity between patches of suitable habitat, and evaluate lynx conservation programs.

TL;DR: Clustering at multiple critical scales may be common for plants since many different factors and processes may cause clustering, but this example illustrates the manner in which the use of a specific and complex null hypothesis of spatial structure in point pattern analysis can help to understand the biology of a species and generate specific hypotheses to be further investigated in the field.

TL;DR: This novel integrated framework provides a conceptual starting point for a better understanding of biodiversity dynamics in light of individual movement and space-use behavior across spatiotemporal scales.

TL;DR: The movement properties during interpatch dispersal in a metapopulation of Iberian lynx is analyzed to build a simulation model to reconstruct individual dispersal events and shows how important it is to consider matrix heterogeneity when it is present.
