Species distribution modelling for the people: unclassified landsat TM imagery predicts bird occurrence at fine resolutions (2013, background): “…to be one of the most important drivers of biodiversity, affecting patterns of species diversity (Jetz et al., 2007; Coops et al., 2009), species distributions (Wilcove et al., 1998; Opdam & Wascher, 2004; Thuiller et al., 2008) and ecological processes (Dickinson, 1991; Dale, 1997; Allan, 2004).”
Global warming and excess nitrogen may induce butterfly decline by microclimatic cooling (2006, background): “…threat was previously suggested on the basis of mobility, habitat fragmentation and evolutionary adaptation (Warren et al., 2001; Hill et al., 2002; McLaughlin et al., 2002; Opdam & Wascher, 2004; C.D. Thomas et al., 2004), but we emphasize a different ecological axis of change in habitat quality.”
Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “…to nearby refuge areas, or at least been replenished by recolonization from adjacent populations (Banks et al., 2011), fewer such potential refugia from disturbance now exist, and fragmentation has reduced the accessibility of those that remain (Pearson & Dawson, 2003; Opdam & Wascher, 2004).”
Rapid altitudinal migration of mountain plants in Taiwan and its implications for high altitude biodiversity (2012, background): “…their migration responses to changing climate by intrinsically slow migration speeds and lack of habitat availability due to anthropogenic degradation or modifi cation (Williams et al. 2003, Feeley and Silman 2010) or reduced land area availability (Opdam and Wascher 2004, La Sorte and Jetz 2010).”
Effect of local weather on butterfly flight behaviour, movement, and colonization: significance for dispersal under climate change (2011, background): “Therefore, we argue that climate change not only aggravates the impacts of habitat fragmentation on populations (Opdam and Wascher 2004; Travis 2003; Warren et al. 2001), but also may diminish these impacts by enhancing dispersal and colonization.”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “Managing range shifts will be a far from straightforward task – particularly in landscapes and regions that have already been subject to substantial previous human modification, and where the existing cover of remnant native vegetation is fragmented (Opdam and Wascher 2004).”
Conefor Sensinode 2.2: A software package for quantifying the importance of habitat patches for landscape connectivity (2009, background): “is particularly crucial in the current challenge of alleviating the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems, since it may allow species to accommodate to the shifts in their natural ranges resulting from the changing environmental conditions (Opdam and Wascher, 2004).”
Beyond climate control on species range: The importance of soil data to predict distribution of Amazonian plant species (2018, background): “This drawback arises because landscape heterogeneity and metapopulation dynamics limit the ability of species to disperse and track suitable climate changes (Opdam & Wascher, 2004; Schurr et al., 2012).”
Determinants of the biogeographical distribution of butterflies in boreal regions (2006, background): “…et al., 1995; Parmesan, 1996; Pearson et al., 2004), whereas land-cover and the spatial distribution of suitable habitats determine species occupancy patterns more than climate at finer spatial resolutions (Hill et al., 1999; Bailey et al., 2002; Opdam & Wascher, 2004; Pearson et al., 2004).”
Improving generalized regression analysis for the spatial prediction of forest communities (2006, background): “…et al., 2006); rare species distribution (Guisan et al., in press); spread of invasive species (Peterson, 2003); habitat loss and fragmentation (Opdam & Washer, 2004); biodiversity analysis from museum-based data (Graham et al., 2004); richness hotspots (Lehmann et al., 2002a; Moser et al.,…”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “It is also important to recognize that the threshold of climate change below which species extinction occurs or populations severely decline is likely to be determined by the pattern of habitat loss (Opdam & Wascher, 2004; Keith et al., 2008).”
Spatial scale of observation affects α, β and γ diversity of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps across a tropical land‐use gradient (2006, neutral): “…(Didham et al., 1996; Cane, 2001); matrix composition (Ricketts, 2001; Dauber et al., 2003); landscape diversity (Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2002; Dauber et al., 2003; Krauss et al., 2003; Kruess, 2003); urbanization (Zanette et al., 2005); or climate (James & Shine, 2000; Opdam & Wascher, 2004).”
A Graph‐Theory Framework for Evaluating Landscape Connectivity and Conservation Planning (2008, background): “At the largest time scales it influences the ability of species to expand or alter their range in response to climate change (Opdam & Wascher 2004).”
The Holocene British and Irish ancient forest fossil beetle fauna: implications for forest history, biodiversity and faunal colonisation (2006, background): “Their island status, however, whilst protecting them from outside influences also had the effect of isolating their faunas, creating an ecological fragment with no opportunity for expansion (cf Ashworth, 2001; Opdam and Wascher, 2004).”
