Dynamic of populations on the verge of extinction
Article Abstract:
The way in which contact processes might contribute to understanding population persistence by deducing the biological problem to a well-studied phenomenon in statistical physics, directed percolation is reviewed. The extension to more complex systems is suggested.

Local population dynamics and the impact of scale and isolation: A study on different little owl populations
Article Abstract:
The long-term demographic data was used to analyze several little owl populations. The analysis showed that the spatial extent and the isolation of a local population affect the contribution of the different demographic components
