Check out our new paper out now!🐦 Partial migration - coexistence of year-round residents and seasonal migrants - often leads to #metapopulation structures where multiple subpopulations are connected by seasonal overlaps of different groups of residents and migrants from different populations.

Tracking Infectious Disease Spread via Commuting Pattern Data | Newswise Many traditional metapopulation models often overlook the spread of infectious disease through commuting, because they are designed primarily for migration, so in the journal Chaos, researchers from S...

I recently visited beautiful Finland 🇫🇮 and was amazed to learn that the country has around 200,000 islands!

Suddenly, Ilkka Hanski’s metapopulation theory makes even more sense. 🌿🦋

A Shift to Metapopulation Genetic Management for Persistence of a Species Threatened by Fragmentation: The Case of an Endangered Australian Freshwater Fish In a world where habitats are degrading and the climate is warming and becoming unpredictable, biodiversity conservation efforts and funding remain grossly inadequate. As part of a multifaceted appro....

Our paper on #genetic management of the #endangered Macquarie perch is published 🐟 🥳 !!!

We present a framework for #metapopulation management and our pipeline JeDi (for estimation of unbiased het, pi and Dxy from RRseq data) 🧬

5/8 BUT—here's the twist: Despite this signal, we found no #link between #metapopulation #persistence and #speciation #rates. 🤔

4/8 First, we identified an index of #metapopulation #persistence that showed a #phylogenetic #signal—suggesting some traits that affect #demography may be evolutionarily conserved.

3/8 To test this, we developed a #framework linking #metapopulation properties to #speciation rates in a phylogenetic context. Then, we put it to the test with a unique dataset on #demersal #fish communities from the North American continental shelf. 🐟

Past and future effects of climate on the metapopulation dynamics of a Northeast Atlantic seabird across two centuries The authors aimed to forecast complex metapopulation responses to climate change of an exemplar seabird species, the Northern gannet (Morus bassanus). By using a Bayesian metapopulation model fit to ....
