Which intrinsic traits predict vulnerability to extinction depends on the actual threatening processes (2013, background): “Meanwhile more specialized species of beetles, butterflies, birds and primates are particularly affected by habitat fragmentation and degradation (Davies et al. 2000, Owens and Bennett 2000, Isaac and Cowlishaw 2004, Ockinger et al. 2010, Newbold et al. 2013).”
Using body size to predict perceptual range (2002, background): “Although the influence of body size on the response of species to habitat fragmentation is ambiguous at the population level ( Davies et al. 2000 and references therein), we would argue that, to a large extent, the effects of habitat fragmentation on individuals could be predicted by the body size ”
Impact of non‐indigenous species on natives enhanced by anthropogenic alteration of selection regimes (2002, background): “The accelerated loss of higher trophic levels due to habitat destruction rapidly decreases the per capita predation risk for lower trophic levels (Lovejoy et al. 1984, Bascompte and Sole 1998, Davies et al. 2000 ).”
Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes. (2004, background): “Large species need large areas but are often able to bridge hostile landscape features within their foraging range (18, 170).”
Importance of Habitat Area and Landscape Context for Species Richness of Bees and Wasps in Fragmented Orchard Meadows (2003, background): “Habitat fragmentation does not affect all species equally (Davies et al. 2000).”
Applying the Declining Population Paradigm: Diagnosing Causes of Poor Reproduction in the Marbled Murrelet (2004, background): “Third, each species in a set of related species is placed into a life-history category and rates of decline are compared among categories (species life-history comparisons approach; Böhning-Gaese et al. 1993; Lips 1998; Davies et al. 2000).”
Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “…size, narrower and more fragmented distribution of resources, dependence on the successful colonization of patches by hosts of lower trophic levels, and sometimes smaller capacity for dispersal (Davies et al., 2000; Holt, 1996; Kruess and Tscharntke, 1994; Purvis et al., 2000; Thies et al., 2003).”
A SYNERGISTIC EFFECT PUTS RARE, SPECIALIZED SPECIES AT GREATER RISK OF EXTINCTION (2004, methodology): “There is currently a great deal of interest in which traits predict the sensitivity of species to a given threat, such as habitat fragmentation (e.g., Didham et al. 1998, Davies et al. 2000, 2001a, b, Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 2000, Fagan et al. 2001).”
Drivers of diversity in Macaronesian spiders and the role of species extinctions (2010, result): “As supported by the studies of Davies et al. (2000) and Kimberling et al. (2001), high trophic-level taxa are relatively intolerant of habitat changes, especially those with humanrelated causes (see also Gilbert et al., 1997; Didham et al., 1998).”
A FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING THE RELATIVE VULNERABILITY OF SPECIES TO LAND-USE CHANGE (2004, background): “The response of species to land-use change lies along a continuum: some species increase in abundance, whereas others decline markedly (Davies et al. 2000, Owens and Bennett 2000, Boulinier et al. 2001, Daily 2001).”
Ecological and life-history traits predict bee species responses to environmental disturbances (2010, background): “The use of ecological variables offers a valuable alternative to assessing demographic variables that has been explored mostly in the context of habitat loss and fragmentation (McKinney, 1997; Davies et al., 2000; Zayed et al., 2004; Kolb and Diekmann, 2005; Cane et al., 2006; Devictor et al., 2008)”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “In the face of increasing human impacts, a major goal in conservation biology is to provide principles by which biological biodiversity can be preserved (Davies et al., 2000).”
