Local population dynamics in metapopulation models: implications for conservation
Article Abstract:
The models that predict the proportion of occupied habitat patches at equilibrium and the conditions needed to avoid total extinction are studied. The results show that although realistic modifications will change model predictions for occupancy, occupancy and population trends will be correlated and these correlations between occupancy and population size suggest that occupancy models have some unity in conservation applications.

Significance of Specimen Databases from Taxonomic Revisions for Estimating and Mapping the Global Species Diversity of Invertebrates and Repatriating Reliable Specimen Data
Article Abstract:
The authors support the use of a database for the collection of specimen records due to its advantages over digitized museum collections. These include the misidentification potential in museum specimens, museum collection limitations, and the cost-effectiveness of obtaining specimen data from revisions.
