The full texts are available for the members of the Society of Population Ecology and institutions registered with SpringerLink. * Population Ecology at Online First: http://www.springerlink.com/content/103139/?Content+Status=Accepted However, the articles (3), and (6) above are special feature articles based on the Session II 'Spatial population synchrony' in the symposium in October 2007. These articles and a few others in preparation will be published together as 'Special Feature: Spatial population synchrony' in the next issue (50-4) to be published next month. These special feature articles are also available at the Special Feature article cite: http://www.springerlink.com/content/103139/?Content+Status=Accepted&sort=p_OnlineDate&sortorder=desc&v=condensed&Article+Category=Special+Feature%3a+Original+Article Population Ecology is an English scientific journal published by the Society of Population Ecology four times a year.
