Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation: a synthesis (2007, background): “Increased predation and parasitism have both been frequently reported in modified landscapes, especially for birds (Robinson et al. , 1995; Lahti, 2001; Zanette et al. , 2005), but more recently also for complex insect–plant food webs (Valladares et al. , 2006).”
Understanding avian nest predation: why ornithologists should study snakes (2004, unknown): “Despite the general association between nest predation and habitat fragmentation, however, the pattern is far from consistent among studies (Lahti 2001), producing a consensus regarding the need to study the predators that are responsible for nest predation (Chalfoun et al.”
Reproductive dynamics of a tropical freshwater crocodilian: Morelet's crocodile in northern Belize (2008, background): “First, shorelines are in effect linear edge habitats where nest predation rates are typically high (Lahti, 2001).”
Habitat fragmentation affects the common wetland specialist Primula farinosa in north‐east Switzerland (2003, background): “Whereas edge effects have long been recognized for animals and forest plants (e.g. Cadenasso et al. 1997; Lahti 2001), they have received little attention in studies on other plant species.”
A PREDICTIVE MODEL OF EDGE EFFECTS (2004, background): “Since these seminal reports, there have been hundreds of studies describing edge responses for many taxa, with much of the focus remaining on forest edges (for reviews, see Paton 1994, Murcia 1995, Risser 1995, McCollin 1998, Lidiker 1999, Lahti 2001, Chalfoun et al. 2002, Sisk and Battin 2002).”
Effects of habitat fragmentation on avian nesting success: a review of the evidence at multiple spatial scales (2004, background): “The first hypothesis predicts that nest-predation rate is a function of proximity to a habitat edge (edge-scale effects) (e.g., Gates and Gysel, 1978; Wilcove et al., 1986; Yahner and Scott, 1988; Paton, 1994; Cooper and Francis, 1998; Lahti, 2001).”
Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, background): “Some nest predation studies mention spillover of predators as the suggested mechanism leading to increased predation pressure near edges, but none have actually quantified this suggestion (Lahti, 2001, 2009).”
Variation in top‐down control of avian reproductive success across a fragmentation gradient (2003, background): “The degree of fragmentation at the scale of the landscape appears to be important: edge effects are more often detected in regions with high landscape fragmentation (Lahti 2001).”
Survival of Fledgling Hooded Warblers (Wilsonia Citrina) in Small and Large Forest Fragments (2008, background): “Additionally, edge effects for nest predators vary between landscape and predator types (Lahti 2001), making it difficult to predict the circumstances in which fragmentation will affect fledgling survival.”
The potential for interactions between predation and habitat change to cause population declines of farmland birds (2003, background): “However, although the most recent review (Lahti 2001) found that the probability of an edge effect occurring did increase with the degree of fragmentation, it did not support the generalization of increased nest-predation in edge habitats.”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “A huge body of literature, for example, has focused on nest survival in relation to different types of habitat edges, with varied and context-specific results (e.g. Lahti 2001; reviewed for tropical areas in Vetter et al. 2013).”
Evidence of an Edge Effect on Avian Nest Success (2004, background): “Conservation Biology Volume 18, No. 2, April 2004 Lahti (2001) evaluated 55 studies and found no support for increased nest-predation rates near habitat edges.”
Spillover edge effects: the dispersal of agriculturally subsidized insect natural enemies into adjacent natural habitats. (2006, background): “The most inclusive of these reviews included 55 studies on the topic (Lahti 2001).”
Predation rate on artificial nests increases with human housing density in suburban habitats (2003, background): “Several studies have suggested that the relationships between habitat edges, predator abundance and nest predation may be both scale and land- scape-specific (Dijak and Thompson 2000, Lahti 2001, DeSanto and Willson 2001).”
Habitat edges as a potential ecological trap for an insect predator (2003, background): “This is consistent with past studies that have generally shown either an increase in predation or parasitism rates, or no effect (Paton, 1994; Lahti, 2001) with decreases in predation and parasitism rare near edges (Chalfoun et al.”
