Abstract excerpt
Isolated or semi-isolated small populations are commonly found among species, due to a naturally patchy occupancy of suitable habitats or also as a result of habitat alterations. These populations are subject to an increased risk of local extinction because they are more vulnerable to demographic, genetic, and environmental stochasticity. Considering that natural areas have been becoming progressively more...
