Dispersal behaviour in fragmented landscapes: Routine or special movements?

TLDR
A more careful treatment of behavioural components of mobility within observational and experimental studies of animal dispersal is needed to model dispersal with more biological realism and better understand evolutionary consequences.

Maximum foraging ranges in solitary bees: only few individuals have the capability to cover long foraging distances

TL;DR: This finding suggests that a close neighbourhood of nesting and foraging habitat within few hundred meters is crucial to maintain populations of these species, and that threshold distances at which half of the population discontinues foraging are a more meaningful parameter for conservation practice than the species specific maximum foraging distances.

Landscape connectivity and animal behavior: functional grain as a key determinant for dispersal

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that dispersal behavior changes with landscape configuration stressing the evolutionary dimension that has often been ignored in landscape ecology, and that the functional grain of resource patches in the landscape is a crucial factor shaping individual movements, and therefore influencing landscape connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of landscape genetics in conservation biology: concepts and challenges

TL;DR: It is shown how simulations can foster the field of landscape genetics and technical developments in sequencing techniques will dramatically improve the ability to study genetic variation in wild species, opening up new and unprecedented avenues for genetic analysis in conservation biology.

Dispersal depression with habitat fragmentation in the bog fritillary butterfly

TL;DR: The components of dispersal behavior in a metapopulation context using the Virtual Migration model are disentangled, and their variation to habitat fragmentation in the specialist butterfly Proclossiana eunomia is linked.

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Biodiversity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that the term "fragmentation" should be reserved for the breaking apart of habitat, independent of habitat loss, and that fragmentation per se has much weaker effects on biodiversity that are at least as likely to be positive as negative.

Ecology: Individuals Populations and Communities

TL;DR: A revised and updated edition of this textbook is presented in this paper, with a clear presentation of mathematical aspects and the material aims to be accessible to the undergraduate with little experience and also stimulating to practising ecologists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral syndromes: an ecological and evolutionary overview.

TL;DR: The existence of behavioral syndromes focuses the attention of behavioral ecologists on limited (less than optimal) behavioral plasticity and behavioral carryovers across situations, rather than on optimal plasticity in each isolated situation.

Metapopulation Biology: Ecology, Genetics, and Evolution

TL;DR: This paper presents empirical evidence for Metapopulation Dynamics, a theory and empirical evidence of the effects of migration rate and other Traits, and two models of metapopulations, one of which is based on two species and the other on a two-Species model.
Journal ArticleDOI

The matrix matters: effective isolation in fragmented landscapes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the surrounding matrix can significantly influence the “effective isolation” of habitat patches, rendering them more or less isolated than simple distance or classic models would indicate.
