From species detection to population size indexing: the use of sign surveys for monitoring a rare and otherwise elusive small mammal
Monitoring the occupancy and abundance of wildlife populations is key to evaluate their conservation status and trends. However, estimating these...

Body size mediates latitudinal population differences in the response to chytrid fungus infection in two amphibians
Factors behind intraspecific variation in sensitivity to pathogens remain poorly understood. We investigated how geographical origin in two North...

Genetic structure and effective population size of Sydney rock oysters in eastern Australia
Oyster reef habitats are critical to coastal biodiversity and their decline has prompted restoration efforts in Australia. Knowledge gaps exist...

Effects of subpopulation extinction on effective size (Ne) of metapopulations
Population extinction is ubiquitous in all taxa. Such extirpations can reduce intraspecific diversity, but the extent to which genetic diversity of...

A pilot study to estimate the population size of endangered Galápagos marine iguanas using drones
BackgroundLarge-scale species monitoring remains a significant conservation challenge. Given the ongoing biodiversity crisis, the need for reliable...

Using density estimates, sex ratios and size structure to assess the status of a threatened Australian freshwater crayfish (Euastacus armatus) population
Managing and conserving wild animal populations relies on accurately describing changes in populations through time. Density estimates, sex ratios...

Increasing farm size is an effective way to decrease the carbon footprint in dairy cattle production
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the farm size on the carbon footprint of dairy cattle farms in Isparta province in...

Body size constrains the annual apparent survival of lekking Great Snipe Gallinago media males of eastern, lowland population
Survival of adult individuals is a key demographic parameter, that is critical for conservation programs of species and evolutionary research focused...

Population Viability and Genetic Structure of the Last Remaining Population of the Critically Endangered Gray Snub-Nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi)
Habitat destruction, land conversion, and forest fragmentation over the past several decades have resulted in major declines and local extirpation of...

Low effective population size and high spatial genetic structure of black poplar populations from the Oder valley in Poland
ContextBlack poplar ( Populus nigra L.) is a keystone species of European riparian ecosystems that has been negatively impacted by riverside...

Genetic diversity and inbreeding in an endangered island-dwelling parrot population following repeated population bottlenecks
Genetic diversity and population structure can have important implications for the management of threatened species. This is particularly true for...

“Highlight” of the Population Biology of Pauciennial Plants: Why Size Also Matters Zest of Pauciennial Plants Population Biology, or Why the Size of Plants Also Does Matter
AbstractDue to their unique set of biomorphological features, pauciennial (annual and biennial) plants differ substantially from all other plant life...

Population size mediates the contribution of high-rate and large-benefit mutations to parallel evolution
Mutations with large fitness benefits and mutations occurring at high rates may both cause parallel evolution, but their contribution is predicted to...
