Gap‐crossing decisions of forest birds in a fragmented landscape (2009, unknown): “The regular occurrence of a range of species (including our study species) in scattered trees and small remnants in agricultural landscapes (Fischer et al. 2005) supports this contention.”
Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation (2016, background): “Movement pathways also indicate whether species use matrix habitats (Fischer et al., 2005), are restricted to specific habitat types (Hagen et al., 2012), or barriers prevent movements (Sawyer et al., 2013).”
Does the type of matrix matter? A quantitative review of the evidence (2010, background): “Nowadays, it appears to be common sense that the ‘‘matrix matters’’ (Ricketts 2001), and affects both within- and between-patch processes in heterogeneous landscapes (Stouffer and Bierregaard 1995b; Tworek 2004; Bender and Fahrig 2005; Fischer et al. 2005; Haynes et al. 2007a).”
Assisted colonization: Integrating conservation strategies in the face of climate change (2011, background): “‘‘impermeable’’), resulting in increased extinction probability for species inhabiting a patchy landscape (Fischer et al., 2005; Laurance, 2008), and potentially impeding range shifts in response to climate change.”
Citizen Science as a Tool for Conservation in Residential Ecosystems (2007, background): “…improving the wildlife value of the matrix (i.e., intervening area between remnant patches of natural habitat) will have positive impacts on a number of ecosystem elements and processes, such as species diversity and microclimate (e.g., Gove et al. 2005, Fischer et al. 2005, Kupfer et al. 2006).”
Habitat and landscape factors associated with neotropical waterbird occurrence and richness in wetland fragments (2007, background): “Amenable matrices, including both small fragments and land uses that complement or supplement resource needs, can improve the capacity for biodiversity conservation outside protected areas ( Fischer et al. 2005 ).”
Bryophytes in a changing landscape: The hierarchical effects of habitat fragmentation on ecological and evolutionary processes (2007, background): “There are profound implications of this change in view for conservation strategies and for social attitudes towards what is valuable for biodiversity (Fischer et al., 2005).”
