Abstract: Two aspects of patch geometry—area and isolation—currently dominate the field of metapopulation dynamics. Under this area‐and‐isolation paradigm, models commonly assume that the probability…
A NEW METHOD FOR SELECTION OF UMBRELLA SPECIES FOR CONSERVATION PLANNING
- E. Fleishman, D. Murphy, P. Brussard
- Environmental Science
- 1 April 2000
A new index is developed that specifically ranks species according to their potential to serve as umbrellas for their taxonomic group, particularly prioritization of habitat remnants for conservation...

Sun, slope, and butterflies: topographic determinants of habitat quality for Euphydryas editha
- S. Weiss, D. Murphy, R. R. White
- Environmental Science
- 1 October 1988
Thermal environments in a large, topographically diverse serpentine soil- based grassland were quantified and ranked using a computer model of clear sky insolation and shading on different slopes to…
Distribution of the Bay Checkerspot Butterfly, Euphydryas editha bayensis: Evidence for a Metapopulation Model
- S. Harrison, D. Murphy, P. Ehrlich
- Environmental ScienceAmerican Naturalist
- 1 September 1988
This study demonstrates the existence of a metapopulation and infers its approximate spatial extent. Habitat variables and distance from a source of colonists are shown to predict the distribution of…
