Workshop 144-1: Assessing the dynamic demographic resilience of animal populations
Location: Room L - Belmeloro Complex
Global change presents wildlife with an unprecedented number and variety of challenges, e.g., climate change, novel diseases, urbanization, and hunting. In this context it is important to assess how resilient populations, species, and ecosystems are to disturbances. Such assessments require strong quantitative skills. Resilience is a central concept in ecological theory, and diverse methods have been developed to quantify it using empirically-collected data.
Studies of resilience have been limited mainly to higher levels of organization, such as communities or ecosystems. However, understanding the resilience of populations is at least as important because many management actions target this level of organization, and populations are best suited for common conservation actions such as restocking or translocation and reintroduction. Recently, Capdevilla and colleagues (2020) introduced the term "demographic resilience" to define population resilience and suggested quantifying it... |
