A Graph‐Theory Framework for Evaluating Landscape Connectivity and Conservation Planning (2008, background): “…(e.g., Tischendorf & Fahrig 2000; Moilanen & Hanski 2001; Tischendorf & Fahrig 2001) because connectivity can be measured either at the patch scale (Uezu et al. 2005) or at the landscape scale (Hutchinson & Vankat 1998) and can be defined either structurally or functionally (Belisle 2005).”
Gap‐crossing decisions of forest birds in a fragmented landscape (2009, neutral): “Functional connectivity is determined by the physical arrangement of the species’ habitat (structural connectivity), the resistance of areas of non-habitat to movement and behavioural attributes of the species in question (Merriam 1991; Uezu et al. 2005).”
Predictors of forest fragmentation sensitivity in Neotropical vertebrates: a quantitative review (2011, background): “5: species significantly more abundant in control Delomys sublineatus missing because feeding guilds could not be detected Püttker et al. 2008a ind Table 2: no significant correlation of parasite load with fragment size and connectivity ind Table 1: no significant correlation of condition index with”
Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, neutral): “Functional connectivity is defined by the extent to which an individual species can move through a landscape (Uezu et al. 2005).”
Relative effects of fragment size and connectivity on bird community in the Atlantic Rain Forest: Implications for conservation (2008, background): “Corridor use was previously detected as a relevant factor for understory species (Anjos, 2001; Uezu et al., 2005), suggesting that both aspects, area and connectivity, could be important for these species conservation (Anjos, 2001).”
Time-lag in biological responses to landscape changes in a highly dynamic Atlantic forest region (2009, neutral): “Fragment size and connectivity are among the key landscape factors that affect species survival in fragmented landscapes (Metzger, 2000; Ewers and Didham, 2006; Pardini et al., 2005; Uezu et al., 2005; Fischer and Lindenmayer, 2007; Martensen et al., 2008).”
Can agroforest woodlots work as stepping stones for birds in the Atlantic forest region? (2008, background): “…main landscape element that enhances biological Xuxes, and have been extensively investigated in the past 10 years (for example, Rosemberg et al. 1997; Beier and Noss 1998; Haddad and Baum 1999; Tewksbury et al. 2002; Orrock et al. 2003; Pardini et al. 2005; Uezu et al. 2005; Damschen et al. 2006).”
