A common currency for the different ways in which patches and links can contribute to habitat availability and connectivity in the landscape (2010, background): “As noted by Minor and Urban (2008), although graph theory does not require knowledge of behaviour, fecundity, or mortality parameters, these data can be incorporated and used to create an ecologically rich graph model.”
Network isolation and local diversity in neutral metacommunities (2010, background): “In ecology, spatially complex landscapes can be represented as a graph (Keitt et al. 1997, Urban and Keitt 2001, Bodin and Norberg 2007, Economo and Keitt 2008, Estrada and Bodin 2008, Minor and Urban 2008, Urban et al. 2009).”
Graph models of habitat mosaics. (2009, background): “Graph definitions are reviewed from an ecological perspective by Urban & Keitt (2001), Fall et al. (2007), and Minor & Urban (2008).”
Conefor Sensinode 2.2: A software package for quantifying the importance of habitat patches for landscape connectivity (2009, background): “…to spatially explicit population models for species conservation in heterogeneous landscapes, although other methods of measuring connectivity (e.g. metapopulation capacity) may be more appropriate for specific research questions (Ovaskainen and Hanski, 2003; Minor and Urban, 2007, 2008).”
The pond network: can structural connectivity reflect on (amphibian) biodiversity patterns? (2011, background): “…(usually favourable habitat patches) can be represented in a graph as nodes connected with each other by edges and the linkages between the nodes implying connectivity (for more detailed information see Cantwell and Forman 1993; Urban and Keitt 2001; Bodin and Norberg 2007; Minor and Urban 2008).”
