Toward more concern for specialisation and less for species diversity in conserving farmland biodiversity (2010, background): “a measure of species specialisation) was indeed shown to be a valuable predictor of species responses to habitat alteration (Warren et al., 2001; Swihart et al., 2006; Devictor et al., 2008a).”
Differential impact of landscape transformation on pumas (Puma concolor) and jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest (2011, background): “…can be another largescale explanation for species sensitivity to habitat loss and fragmentation because conditions for species survival are likely to decline in these areas reducing their population abundances and species tolerance to human alterations (Lawton, 1993; Swihart et al., 2003, 2006).”
Shifts in bat community structure related to evolved traits and features of human-altered landscapes (2008, background): “Within a region, variation among landscapes can contribute substantially to differences in patterns of occupancy by wild vertebrates including bats (Swihart et al. 2006).”
Community structure and differential responses of aquatic turtles to agriculturally induced habitat fragmentation (2006, background): “ Swihart et al. (2006) found niche breadth and proximity to range boundary to be important predictors of tolerance to fragmentation.”
Response of vascular epiphyte diversity to different land-use intensities in a neotropical montane wet forest (2010, background): “There is growing evidence for a positive relationship between species resilience, niche breadth and geographical range (e.g. Thompson et al., 1999; Kessler, 2002; Swihart et al., 2006).”
