The need to protect crop genetic resources has sparked a growing interest in the genetic diversity maintained in traditional farming systems worldwide. Although traditional seed management has been ...

Sutirth Dey and Amitabh Joshi of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, India used laboratory metapopulations of fruitflies in the first experimental test of whether a ...

Cheetahs have vanished from 90% of their historical range in Africa. A metapopulation project in South Africa has almost doubled the population of cheetahs in this project in less than nine years. The ...

Genetic analysis of more than 90 butterfly museum specimens from Finland revealed that populations from highly fragmented habitats can undergo rapid evolutionary changes as well as extraordinary ...

Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns ...

There’s a bright side to everything, perhaps even mass die-offs of animals. If one population of a species goes rapidly and completely extinct – maybe thanks to a forest fire or hurricane – it may ...
