Time to extinction of bird populations

2005

The risk of extinction of populations has not previously been empirically related to parameters characterizing their population dynamics. To analyze this relationship, we simulated how the distribution of population dynamical characters changed as a function of time, in both the...

Biotelemetry: a mechanistic approach to ecology

2004

Remote measurement of the physiology, behaviour and energetic status of free-living animals is made possible by a variety of techniques that we refer to collectively as ‘biotelemetry’. This set of tools ranges from transmitters that send their signals to receivers...

Stabilizing selection on genomic divergence in a wild fish population

2004

Conservation programs use breeding protocols to increase genomic divergence (by mating genetically dissimilar individuals) in an attempt to circumvent population declines resulting from inbreeding depression. However, disruption of either beneficial gene complexes or local genetic adaptations can lead to outbreeding...
