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.

Metapopulation inbreeding dynamics, effective size and subpopulation differentiation—a general analytical approach for diploid organisms. Theor Popul Biol 102: 40–59.

The majority, if not all, species have a limited geographic range bounded by a distribution edge. Violent ecotones such as sea coasts clearly produce edges for many species; however such ecotones, ...

Many metapopulation models show that increasing movement among populations. Many metapopulation models show that increasing movement among populations reduces the chance of metapopulation extinction.

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu’s state animal, the Nilgiri Tahr, has recorded a population increase, with the second synchronised survey estimating 1,303 individuals across 14 forest divisions in Tamil Nadu.

India’s plan, decades in the making, is to establish a viable free-ranging cheetah metapopulation, 70 years after its Asiastic cheetah was declared extinct.

This metapopulation has become a model system in understanding how habitat fragmentation impacts population dynamics. The backbone of many of our studies is the long-term (since 1993) ecological ...
