Designing a Coherent Ecological Network for Large Mammals in Northwestern Europe (2003, background): “As the amount of a given habitat declines, the chances of successful dispersal and colonization decrease stepwise ( Andrén 1996; Fahrig 2001); and in many cases these chances are species-specific (Vos et al. 2001 a ).”
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, background): “…to death when moving across roads and through inhospitable terrain, which depresses population growth rates (Fahrig et al., 1995; Carr and Fahrig, 2001; Carr et al., 2002), (3) often narrow habitat tolerances, which exacerbates the effects of habitat loss, degradation, and edge effects…”
Non‐optimal animal movement in human‐altered landscapes (2007, neutral): “…that range widely over the landscape are more susceptible to forest loss and high road density than are less mobile species (Gibbs 1998; Carr & Fahrig 2001). species evolved in patchy persistent habitat with low quality matrix Species that evolved in patchy habitat with risky matrix should…”
Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds (2006, background): “…relationship between persistence probability and habitat density (i.e. the amount of habitat per unit of area) is a clean step function (e.g. Lande, 1987), while in stochastic models the relationship between persistence probability and habitat density becomes sigmoidal (Fahrig, 2001) (Figure 1).”
Time series of landscape fragmentation caused by transportation infrastructure and urban development: a case study from Baden-Württemberg, Germany. (2007, background): “Viable populations require minimum areas of habitat, smaller than which populations are prone to extinction (With and King 1999, Fahrig 2001, 2002).”
Changing importance of habitat structure across multiple spatial scales for three species of insects (2003, background): “matrix type Fahrig 2001, Ricketts 2001), attention to configuration of habitat may be influential even in landscapes containing large amounts of habitat.”
Deforestation Trends in a Tropical Landscape and Implications for Endangered Large Mammals (2003, background): “Simulation models show that 58% less habitat may be required for species persistence if the habitat matrix is converted from low to high quality (Fahrig 2001).”
Effect of Vegetation Matrix on Animal Dispersal: Genetic Evidence from a Study of Endangered Skinks (2005, background): “For example, Fahrig (2001) showed that increasing the quality of the matrix reduces the amount of patch habitat required for a species to persist.”
Assisted colonization: Integrating conservation strategies in the face of climate change (2011, background): “the quality of matrix habitat can increase connectivity and aid the colonization of new habitat or isolated patches (Fahrig, 2001).”
Characteristics of insect populations on habitat fragments: A mini review (2002, background): “Species are known to greatly differ in their response to landscape structure and there is no common threshold value for the amount of habitat across species (Fahrig 2001).”
Urban Bird Diversity and Landscape Complexity: Species- environment Associations Along a Multiscale Habitat Gradient (2003, background): “In a complex landscape mosaic, the presence and detection of individual birds is expected to vary with land use and with the overall composition of the landscape (Trzcinski et al. 1999, Austen et al. 2001, Fahrig 2001).”
An introduction to biodiversity concepts for environmental economists (2004, background): “In such cases the spatial arrangement of reserves and disturbance processes such as wildfire or flooding that affect their dynamics may be critical in determining whether populations can persist (Fahrig, 2001).”
