Biodiversity Response To Habitat Loss And Fragmentation (2017, background): “…and richness in habitat patches (reviewed in Watling et al., 2011), and matrix types that are more similar to the original vegetation are of better quality to organisms (reviewed in Prevedello and Vieira, 2010), increasing movement rates between habitat patches (reviewed in Eycott et al., 2012).”
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis (2013, background): “Therefore, in proposing the habitat amount hypothesis, I am not suggesting that habitat amount is the only driver of species richness, although it is usually the most important (Prevedello & Vieira, 2010).”
Effects of landscape structure on avian-mediated insect pest control services: a review (2017, background): “structurally more similar to native habitat patches) often increase inter-patch colonization rates (Prevedello and Vieira 2010) by positively influencing avian movement across the matrix (Ricketts 2001; Driscoll et al.”
Connectivity of the global network of protected areas (2016, background): “…long-distance dispersers the network functionality will heavily depend on the composition of the landscape matrix, which must be permeable enough to allow gene flow, recolonization events, seasonal migrations and range shifts (DeFries et al., 2007; Prevedello & Vieira, 2010; Santini et al., 2014).”
The pond network: can structural connectivity reflect on (amphibian) biodiversity patterns? (2011, background): “…undisturbed areas as in this case, but it may prove inefficient when landscape connectivity is expected to be low [generally highly disturbed areas where the matrix surrounding the habitat patches along with other non-landscape factors plays an important role (e.g. Prevedello and Vieira 2009)].”
Green corridors in urban landscapes affect the arthropod communities of domestic gardens (2012, background): “As showed by some authors, matrix properties could play a major role in the landscape connectivity and in corridor efficiency (Baum et al., 2004; Prevedello and Vieira, 2010; Rosenberg et al., 1997).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “The matrix surrounding fragments also influences their structure and dynamics (Brotons et al., 2003; Cook et al., 2002; Prevedello and Vieira, 2011; Prugh et al., 2008).”
Targeting and evaluating biodiversity conservation action within fragmented landscapes: an approach based on generic focal species and least-cost networks (2010, result): “This general assumption has since been supported by systematic review (Eycott et al. 2010; Prevedello and Vieira 2010).”
