Bibliography
Casagrandi, R., and M. Gatto. 1999. A mesoscale approach to extinction risk in fragmented habitats. Nature 400:560–562. Argues that spatially explicit models can be cumbersome and too data intensive. On the other hand, classic macroscale metapopulation models ignore data on the distribution of local abundances. The paper presents an alternative midscale approach for metapopulations subjected to demographic stochasticity, catastrophes, and habitat loss.

A summary of the uses of spatially explicit models, this paper is one of several papers on the pros and cons of this modeling technique published together as a Special Feature in this issue of Ecological Applications.

Reprinted in R. Costanza, C. Perrings, and C. Cleveland, eds. The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics-The Development of Ecological Economics. Edward Elgar Publishing Limited, Cheltenham, UK. Uses ECOLECON to address both the impact of changing management scenarios on both economic goals (timber income) and ecological dynamics (sparrow population trends). The paper demonstrates how such factors can be balanced and optimized.

Conservation Biology 9:62–79. Uses the BACHMAP model to evaluate the long-term effects of a U.S. Forest Service management plan in a real forest landscape, assessing whether the plan is likely to meet management objectives for species that are not the direct target of management strategy.

Wennergren, U., M. Ruckelshaus, and P. Kareiva. 1995. The promise and limitations of spatial models in conservation biology. Oikos 74:349–356. Several authors have urged caution in developing a heavy reliance on spatially explicit models in conservation biology. This article summarizes many of the concerns that have been raised. For more information on this debate, we suggest readers consult the variety of papers on fragmentation models published by Lenore Fahrig and colleagues.
