Sources, sinks and distribution: a graphical model for management

    Research output: Contribution to conference (non-published works)Abstract

    Abstract

    The dynamics of wildlife populations can differ between net exporters (sources) to net importers (sinks). These phenomena, the outcomes of demographic processes have been described and illustrated in a graphical model (the compensation axis). The distribution of a species in a landscape can have many characteristics from continuous to patchy. Population dynamics and distribution are fundamental properties of a species that need to be defined for management in a landscape setting. A graphic model is described that combines the concepts of sources, sinks and distribution. The implications for wildlife management are described.
