Landscape and patch attributes impacting medium- and large-sized terrestrial mammals in a fragmented rain forest (2013, methodology): “We selected these metrics because it has been documented that they can negatively affect animal populations in fragmented landscapes (e.g. birds: Villard et al. 1999; bats: Ethier & Fahrig 2011; primates: Arroyo-Rodrı́guez & Dı́as 2009; terrestrial mammals: Thornton et al. 2011a).”
Impact of landscape composition and configuration on forest specialist and generalist bird species in the fragmented Lacandona rainforest, Mexico (2015, background): “In fact, fragmentation per se (i.e. the breaking apart of habitat after controlling for habitat loss; sensu Fahrig, 2003) can have negative, positive, or neutral effects on different taxa (Fahrig, 2003; Betts et al., 2006; Ethier and Fahrig, 2011).”
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses (2012, background): “…(Dunning, Danielson & Pulliam, 1992) is commonly documented for vertebrates (e.g. Pope, Fahrig & Merriam, 2000; Tubelis, Lindenmayer & Cowling, 2004; Ethier & Fahrig, 2011), but is also important for invertebrates such as butterflies (host plants versus nectar supply by flowers, e.g.…”
