Reconstructing local population dynamics in noisy metapopulations--the role of random catastrophes and Allee effects.

Reconstructing the dynamics of populations is complicated by the different types of stochasticity experienced by populations, in particular if some forms of stochasticity introduce bias in parameter estimation in addition to error. Identification of systematic biases is critical when determining whe...
