Extinctions in habitat remnants: lessons from a specialised gecko species

Abstract

Oedura reticulata - O. reticulata may survive even in very small patches, and stochastic extinction with recolonisation is NOT the reason for its persistence - the model produced over-predicted the occurrence of O. reticulata for several reasons - basically, some of the assumptions were overly simplistic (assuemd constant habitat quality, limited env. variability, didn't consider edge effects)
