Do linear landscape elements in farmland act as biological corridors for pollen dispersal? (2010, background): “…of gene flow patterns, threatening long-term population persistence (e.g. Oostermeijer, Van Eijck & den Nijs 1994; Young, Boyle & Brown 1996; Kéry, Matthies & Schmid 2003; Matthies et al. 2004; Van Rossum, Campos De Sousa & Triest 2004; Leimu et al. 2006; VanGeert, VanRossum&Triest 2008).”
Hawaiian endemic fern lineage Diellia (Aspleniaceae): distribution, population structure and ecology (2005, background): “In addition to the age/stage structure, the fate of local populations depends critically on their size (Eriksson and Ehrlen 2001; Matthies et al. 2004; Honnay et al. 2005).”
The rough edges of the conservation genetics paradigm for plants (2006, background): “Whether a similar rescue effect could be prominent in plants, which generally have much lower migration rates and smaller migration distances than animals, is less clear, but several studies have demonstrated that isolation may affect extinction regardless of local population size (e.g. Dupre & Ehrl”
A comparative analysis of decline in the distribution ranges of orchid species in Estonia and the United Kingdom (2006, background): “All rights reserved ax: +372 7383013. increased risk of further local population decline and extinction (Fischer and Stöcklin, 1997; Fischer and Matthies, 1998; Matthies et al., 2004).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “Demographic, environmental and genetic stochasticity are likely to be most pronounced in small fragments (Matthies et al., 2004; Willi et al., 2005), and the latter may trigger a loss”
Fingerprints of environmental change on the rare mediterranean flora: a 115‐year study (2006, background): “At regional scale, rare species dynamics and extinction risk may be related to their population size and spatial isolation (Ouborg, 1993; Matthies et al., 2004), and to a number of ecological and life-history traits (QuintanaAscencio & Menges, 1996; Fischer & Stöcklin, 1997; Duncan & Young, 2000).”
