The concept of the long-run growth rate of a population is explained and extended to age-structured populations. Diffusion approximations show how stochastic factors affect extinction in single populations and metapopulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelayed density dependence in populations with discrete annual reproduction is estimated from a time series of adult numbers combined with basic life history data. The spatial scale of population fluctuations and local extinction risk depend on the scales of spatial environmental autocorrelation and individual dispersal, and the strength of density dependence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStochastic dynamics and statistical uncertainty in population parameters are incorporated in Population Viability Analysis and sustainable harvesting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatistics of species diversity measures and species abundance distributions are described, with implications for rapid assessments of biodiversity, and methods are developed for partitioning species diversity into components. Analysis of stochastic community dynamics indicates that real communities are far from neutral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Lande, Steinar Engen, Bernt-Erik Saether\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.16w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198525257\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Lande is the winner of the Sewall Wright Award (1992), President, Society for the Study of Evolution, 1997, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1997-, MacArthur Foundation Fellow, 1997-2002.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39932096544883,"sku":"0198525257","price":143.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ccf4743d-bf38-4453-bc03-87e6331f032b.jpg?v=1647789739","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/stochastic-population-dynamics-in-ecology-and-conservation-9780198525257","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
