• When Good Animals Love Bad Habitats: Ecological Traps and the Conservation of Animal Populations (2004, background): “Several studies of habitat edges as ecological traps (Gates & Gysel 1978; Chasko & Gates 1982; Johnson & Temple 1986; Flaspohler et al. 2001b; Ries & Fagan 2003) suggest that, although animals settle disproportionately at edges, predation on eggs and young at edges is higher.”
• What is an edge species? The implications of sensitivity to habitat edges (2010, unknown): “We are not aware of any study that shows increased edge-related predation in butterfl ies, although bird predation has been shown to be higher for mantids at edges (Ries and Fagan 2003).”
