Safe and just Earth system boundaries (2023, unknown): “This relationship, known as the species–area relationship (SAR), is widely used in conservation science to predict the number of species likely to go extinct (Matthews et al. 2014), at both local and global scales, with habitat reduction (Ney-Nifle and Mangel 2000; Ulrich and Buszko 2003; Triantis e”
Quantifying and interpreting nestedness in habitat islands: a synthetic analysis of multiple datasets (2015, methodology): “Following Matthews et al. (2014b), datasets were included based on the following criteria: 1. habitat islands were defined as discrete patches of habitat surrounded by contrasting matrix habitat(we also included a small number of datasets consisting of protected areas in which the contrast between…”
REVIEW: On the species abundance distribution in applied ecology and biodiversity management (2015, methodology): “The a (shape) parameter of the gambin model has also been shown to be an effective metric in such circumstances (Ugland et al. 2007; Matthews et al. 2014).”
A global analysis of traits predicting species sensitivity to habitat fragmentation (2017, unknown): “This pattern lends support to the idea that habitat specialists may be particularly impacted by land-altering disturbance and should in turn receive heightened conservation attention to mitigate loss of habitat (Matthews et al., 2014; Newbold et al., 2014).”
