Review of nekton patterns and ecological processes in seagrass landscapes (2006, background): “Typically patches are defined by their edges, where a rapid rate of change in the amount of plant structure is evident (Ries and Sisk, 2004).”
Asymmetrical responses of forest and “beyond edge” arthropod communities across a forest–grassland ecotone (2014, positive): “We expected a progressive decrease in both the variables from the innermost to the outermost habitat plots, following a sigmoid trend (Downie et al. 1996; Cadenasso et al. 2003; Ries and Sisk 2004).”
Edge effects in patchy seagrass landscapes: The role of predation in determining fish distribution (2011, background): “Habitat edges can change species abundances and distributions by altering physical conditions, resource distribution and species interactions (Murcia, 1995; Ries and Sisk, 2004).”
Metacommunity diversity depends on connectivity and patch arrangement in heterogeneous habitat networks (2011, background): “In a large contiguous area, the condition of a poor-quality habitat patch may be enhanced by an adjacent high quality habitat (Ries and Sisk 2004), which we observed in the wicking effect of moisture from wet patches into dry patches under the heterogeneous continuous treatment.”
Do landscape heterogeneity and water distribution explain aspects of elephant home range in southern Africa's arid savannas? (2008, background): “Conceivably, foraging by elephants may be more efficient in these transition zones than in non-edges (patch interiors) (see Fagan et al., 1999; Ries and Sisk, 2004; Ries et al., 2004).”
What is an edge species? The implications of sensitivity to habitat edges (2010, neutral): “…according to what is assumed to be a ‘typical’ edge response is a common approach to untangling the observed complexity of edge responses, yet it is fundamentally fl awed because species should not be expected to show the same edge response at diff erent edge types (Ries and Sisk 2004).”
The influence of matrix and edges on species richness patterns of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in habitat islands (2006, background): “The importance of edges has been recognized intuitively (Murcia, 1995), but studies of forest fragments are dominated by human-generated fragments (Desender, 2005) that are often without a natural edge, and a conceptual basis for edge studies has been lacking until recently (Ries & Sisk, 2004).”
Seascape ecology of coastal biogenic habitats: advances, gaps, and challenges (2011, background): “Edge effects Ries & Sisk (2004) provided a predictive framework for faunal responses (changes in abundance) to edges based on an assumption that the relative availability of resources between patches is a key driver of re sponses.”
Distribution of coral reef fishes along a coral reef-seagrass gradient: edge effects and habitat segregation (2005, background): “Depending on the underlying mechanisms, the transition of coral reef into seagrass beds may therefore result in an ‘edge effect’ where species show increases, decreases or no change in abundance (Ries & Sisk 2004).”
Quantifying Grizzly Bear Selection of Natural and Anthropogenic Edges (2013, background): “However, edges may also improve habitat conditions by providing access to resources in distinct habitat patches in close proximity (Lay 1938, Forman 1995, Ries and Sisk 2004).”
