Eco-engineering urban infrastructure for marine and coastal biodiversity: Which interventions have the greatest ecological benefit? (2018, background): “…ecosystems in a variety of ways, including habitat 79 loss and fragmentation, as well as modification of ecological connectivity, ecosystem 80 functioning and services, and the physico-chemical environment (Fischer & Lindenmayer 81 2007; McKinney 2008; LaPoint et al. 2015; Bishop et al. 2017).”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, methodology): “Structural connectivity is typically quanti ﬁ ed using landscape metrics such as patch size, isolation, and fragmentation that are thought to act as conduits or barriers to movement (LaPoint et al., 2015).”
ECOLOGY OF ORGANISMS IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS Urban drivers of plant-pollinator interactions (2015, methodology): “Pollen analogue methods such as fluorescent dye provide a way to determine whether habitat connectivity facilitates pollinator movement and thus functional connectivity between urban plant populations (see LaPoint et al. 2015 for definition of functional connectivity).”
Evolution of life in urban environments (2017, background): “Recent progress in landscape genetics provides tools with which to quantify structural and functional connectivity that influence gene flow in urban areas and to identify genotypes that are strongly associatedwith specific urban landscape features (59).”
Garden Bird Feeding: Insights and Prospects from a North-South Comparison of This Global Urban Phenomenon (2017, background): “In turn, it has downstream effects on population dynamics, the distribution of species, the spatial distribution of genetic diversity, and urban ecosystem functioning (Unfried et al., 2013; LaPoint et al., 2015).”
