Fenced and Fragmented: Conservation Value of Managed Metapopulations.
Population fragmentation is threatening biodiversity worldwide. Species that once roamed vast areas are increasingly being conserved in small, isolated areas. Modern management approaches must adapt to ensure the continued survival and conservation value of these populations. In South Africa, a managed metapopulation approach has been adopted for several large carnivore species, all protected i...
متن کاملManaged Metapopulations: Do Salmon Hatchery ‘Sources’ Lead to In-River ‘Sinks’ in Conservation?
Maintaining viable populations of salmon in the wild is a primary goal for many conservation and recovery programs. The frequency and extent of connectivity among natal sources defines the demographic and genetic boundaries of a population. Yet, the role that immigration of hatchery-produced adults may play in altering population dynamics and fitness of natural populations remains largely unqua...

In this paper we argue that landscape spatial structure is o f central importance in understanding the effects o f f ragmentat ion on populat ion survival Landscape spatial structure is the spatial relationships among habitat patches and the matr ix in which they are e m ~ l d e ~ Many general models o f subditrlded populat ions make the assump. tions that (1) all habitat patches are equivalent...
متن کاملGene flow and genetic diversity in naturally fragmented metapopulations of deep-sea hydrothermal vent animals.
The ephemeral nature of deep-sea hydrothermal vents is expected to favor species with good colonization abilities, high dispersal rates, and rapid individual growth rates. Studies of gene flow in vent-endemic species provide glimpses into modes and patterns of dispersal. For some species, gene flow occurs without geographical bias (i.e., island model); their dispersal capabilities probably exce...
متن کاملBiodiversity conservation values of fragmented communally reserved forests, managed by indigenous people, in a human-modified landscape in Borneo
This study explored the conservation values of communally reserved forests (CRFs), which local indigenous communities deliberately preserve within their area of shifting cultivation. In the current landscape of rural Borneo, CRFs are the only option for conservation because other forested areas have already been logged or transformed into plantations. By analyzing their alpha and beta diversity...
