Application of multiple‐population viability analysis to evaluate species recovery alternatives

Abstract: Population viability analysis (PVA) is a powerful conservation tool, but it remains impractical for many species, particularly species with multiple, broadly distributed populations for which collecting suitable data can be challenging. A recently developed method of multiple‐population viability analysis (MPVA), however, addresses many limitations of traditional PVA. We built on previous development of MPVA for Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi), a species listed under the U.S. End… Show more

“…In contrast to most other studies analyzing the entire metapopulation as a single population, we investigated the Swedish-Danish subpopulations of harbors seals as a metapopulation. The application of multiple-population viability analysis to assess the extinction risk of metapopulations is a useful tool that can guide management and conservation strategies (Neville et al 2020).…”

“…Effective population sizes were interpreted cautiously due to reliance on small and multicohort samples, as we discuss, but provide a standing gage of genetic health and evolutionary potential for LCT. We were also able to test for genetic erosion (Carroll et al, 2018;Hoban et al, 2014; We next looked for concordance between metrics of genetic diversity and demographically derived estimates of abundance and 30-year extinction risk from a comprehensive, range-wide Multiple Population Viability Analysis (MPVA) recently applied across LCT stream populations (Neville et al, 2019). Population Viability Analysis is a class of modeling approaches used to estimate population trajectories and extinction risks over given time frames (Beissinger & McCullough, 2002).…”

“…As well, given the isolated nature and volatile dynamics of LCT populations in particular (Platts & Nelson, 1988) and several extreme periods of drought within the time frame encompassing our temporal samples, we anticipated evidence of genetic erosion (Leroy et al, 2018), or loss of diversity over time. Finally, as observations from MPVA demonstrated a broad range of demographically derived estimates of abundance and extinction probability across LCT populations (Neville et al, 2019), we hypothesized populations with higher genetic diversity would have higher estimated abundance and lower 30-year extinction probabilities. Our study provides an unusual ability to evaluate correlations between genetic and demographic metrics across the range of a threatened species and confirms both the promise and complexities of realworld genomic assessment.…”

“…1996; Foley and Foley, 2016) but only recently has this involved estimating uncertainty in the amount of year‐to‐year variation (e.g. Neville et al., 2020). As with any population parameter, estimating temporal variation ideally involves simultaneously quantifying uncertainty around that estimate and propagating that uncertainty into population predictions (Ellner et al., 2002; Wade, 2002; Schaub and Abadi, 2011).…”

“…Neville et al. (2020) present a valuable approach whereby population specific estimates of temporal variation in Lahontan cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi abundance are used to generate a global (multipopulation) distribution of this parameter that was incorporated in predictions for reintroductions of the species to unoccupied streams. However, no attempt has yet been made to use data from other populations to estimate temporal variation in vital rates for a new or newly monitored population of interest.…”
