OBJECTIVESThe long-term survival of a large population is related to the amount of suitable habitat within a diverse landscape. In contrast, the survival of small (eg, threatened and endangered) populations in restricted landscapes can be dominated by stochastic events and the spatial arrangement of suitable habitat within those landscapes (Hanski and Gilpin, 1991; Hanski, 1998). Population survival can be even more tenuous if the species’ suitable habitat is transient in nature. Thus, in a dynamic landscape, population persistence may depend on both the current and future availability of sufficient suitable habitat. The ability of a species to disperse to new suitable habitat becomes important when the landscape consists of a constantly shifting mosaic of habitat patches of varying suitability (Pulliam et al., 1992). These types of situations are particularly suited to spatially explicit, individual-based population models (Dunning et al., 1995a). In these exercises the student will1. observe the challenges in managing the natural stochastic variation in size displayed by a small population of a “fugitive species” in a heterogeneous, dynamic landscape; 2. gain an appreciation of the constraints and conflicting priorities often placed on managers; 3. begin to understand the decisions that must be considered when designing a spatially explicit or inexplicit model;
