Conservation and Spatial Structure: Theoretical Approaches

  • Conference paper
Book cover Frontiers in Mathematical Biology

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Biomathematics ((LNBM,volume 100))

Abstract

One of the most important challenges facing ecologists over the next decades is to help with the conservation of endangered species and ecosystems. As has been recognized increasingly within ecology in general, and in conservation in particular, meeting these challenges will require including the role of spatial structure in the models that are used.
