- Connectivity for conservation: a framework to classify network measures. (2011, background): “Presum- ably, a relatively small subset of all possible network measures would suffice to quantify habitat connectivity for a particular study system, as is the case with other landscape pattern metrics (Riitters et al. 1995, Cushman et al. 2008).”
- Surface metrics: an alternative to patch metrics for the quantification of landscape structure (2009, methodology): “We selected a suite of commonly used metrics with the aim of capturing a broad suite of landscape structure components (Neel et al. 2004; Cushman et al. 2008).”

- How many metrics are required to identify the effects of the landscape pattern on land surface temperature (2014, background): “Therefore, proportion and the mean dge are the most important implications of the clusters and the Cs. Riitters et al. (1995), Cain et al. (1997), and Cushman et al. (2008) ave conducted factor analysis to reduce the numbers of landscape etrics or pattern indicies.”
- Response of arthropod species richness and functional groups to urban habitat structure and management (2010, methodology): “Thus, the Mean Edge Contrast Index was chosen to represent configuration (McGarigal and Marks 1995), which often explains most variation among several potential measures for edge contrast (Cushman et al. 2008).”
