Simple Process-Based Simulators for Generating Spatial Patterns of Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: A Review and Introduction to the G-RaFFe Model
(Simon Thrush, National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research, New Zealand, 2013-05-28)
Landscape simulators are widely applied in landscape ecology for generating landscape patterns. These models can be divided into two categories: pattern-based models that generate spatial patterns irrespective of the ...
Species–fragmented area relationship
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), 2013-07-30)
The species–area relationship (SAR) gives a quantitative description of the increasing number of species in a community with increasing area of habitat. In conservation, SARs have been used to predict the number of extinctions ...
Bird responses to forest loss are influence by habitat specialization
(Diversity and Distributions. Wiley Online Library, 2017-05-16)
Aim Due to intrinsic differences in the sensitivity to habitat grain among species, studies performed at different extent are necessary to understand the consequences of forest loss and fragmentation. Using a large database, ...
Edge effects and their influence on habitat suitability calculations: a continuous approach applied to birds of the Atlantic forest
(British Ecological Society, 2012-01-18)
1. The suitability of human-modified habitats for native species and the response of species to habitat edges are two important ecological processes that affect species and communities in fragmented landscapes. However, ...
