Drought‐induced mosquito outbreaks in wetlands (2003, background): “The vast majority of species show highly variable population densities through time (Fagan et al. 2001), and mosquitoes are no exception (Spielman & D’Antonio 2001).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…events 870 with proportional losses of individuals, compared to large populations, likely having a higher 871 impact on effective population size (Fagan et al., 2001; Hanski and Saccheri, 2006; Shaffer, 872 1981), increasing population susceptibility to future stress and chances of inbreeding…”
What are the best correlates of predicted extinction risk (2004, background): “…size and extinction risk (MacArthur and Wilson, 1967; Terborgh and Winter, 1980; Diamond, 1984; Goodman, 1987; Pimm et al., 1988; Berger, 1990; Newmark, 1994, 1996; Mace and Kershaw, 1997; McKinney, 1997; Belovsky et al., 1999; Foufopoulos and Ives, 1999; Purvis et al., 2000; Fagan et al., 2001).”
Avian life‐history determinants of local extinction risk in a hyper‐fragmented neotropical forest landscape (2008, background): “Despite recent macroecological progress in our understanding of the relationship between sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbance and life-history traits on a global or continental scale (e.g. Purvis et al., 2000; Fagan et al., 2001; O’Grady et al., 2004), few studies have investigated these relatio”
CONTRIBUTION OF SMALL HABITAT FRAGMENTS TO CONSERVATION OF INSECT COMMUNITIES OF GRASSLAND–CROPLAND LANDSCAPES (2002, background): “Many spatially separated populations may also provide numerous sources of conspecific colonists mitigating extinction risk through local variability of populations, which is known to affect the local persistence of most populations (Fagan et al. 2001).”
Citizen science monitoring demonstrates dramatic declines of monarch butterflies in western North America (2017, unknown): “The importance of environmental stochasticity in determining extinction risk is well known to theoretical ecologists (Fagan et al., 2001; Inchausti and Halley, 2003; Fagan and Holmes, 2006), but not always appreciated in conservation decisionmaking.”
How accurate are population models? Lessons from landscape-scale tests in a fragmented system (2002, background): “Ecology Letters (2003) 6: 41–47 I N T R O D U C T I O N Assessment of species extinction risk lies at the heart of conservation biology (Burgman et al. 1993; Fagan et al. 2001; Fieberg & Ellner 2001; Beissenger & McCullough 2002).”
Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes. (2004, background): “Both rarity and population size variability are well-known predictors of local extinction (37, 41, 96, 136).”
