A systematic map of research exploring the effect of greenspace on mental health (2020, methodology): “The statistical analysis of these data should include not only the multi-scale approach outlined earlier (Holland et al., 2004), but also careful consideration of the covariance structure and range of variance of the key predictors of both greenspace and mental health.”
Habitat Selection at Multiple Scales (2009, background): “Holland, Bert, and Fahrig (2004) developed a technique based on species abundance in varying-sized focal patches to determine characteristic scales of habitat association.”
How much and at what scale? Multiscale analyses as decision support for conservation of saproxylic oak beetles (2012, background): “The circle radius with the highest Wald value is hereafter referred to as the ‘‘characteristic scale’’ for the species, following Holland et al. (2004). Predicted range were mapped for selected species in the study area based on the species’ characteristic scale and estimated oak density for 50% occ”
Spider diversity in cereal fields: comparing factors at local, landscape and regional scales (2005, background): “It is increasingly recognized that not only local factors but also the spatial surroundings of habitat patches may have a strong influence on local diversity and abundance of organisms (Kareiva & Wennergren, 1995; Dauber et al., 2003; Duelli & Obrist, 2003; Jeanneret et al., 2003; Kruess, 2003; Holl”
A multi-scaled analysis of avian response to habitat amount and fragmentation in the Canadian dry mixed-grass prairie (2006, background): “However, data such as these can contain a wealth of information relevant to landscape ecology (Holland et al. 2004), and are rich sources for exploratory analyses.”
Landscape composition and configuration differently affect trap-nesting bees, wasps and their antagonists (2014, background): “Interacting species of different trophic levels may respond to different components of agricultural intensification and at different spatial scales (Holland et al., 2004; Kruess, 2003; Tscharntke et al., 2012).”
A spatial scale assessment of habitat effects on arthropod communities of an oceanic island (2009, background): “Our results demonstrate that local arthropod diversity was influenced both by local and regional processes (Borges and Brown, 2004; Chust et al., 2004; Holland et al., 2004; Gaucherel et al., 2007; González-Mejias et al., 2007; Driscoll, 2008; Ricklefs, 2008).”
Measuring the dispersal of saproxylic insects: a key characteristic for their conservation (2006, unknown): “A method has been developed that can be used to compare the strength of the relationship at different spatial scales (Holland et al. 2004).”
Ecology of butterflies in Europe (2009, background): “Most ecological processes depend not only on patch or plot characteristics, but on spatial scales much larger than a habitat patch (Holland et al., 2004).”
Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds (2006, background): “Holland et al. (2004) studied the responses of 12 different saproxylic longhorn beetle species to forest cover at multiple spatial scales.”
Wild bee pollinators provide the majority of crop visitation across land‐use gradients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, USA (2007, methodology): “We then compared the resulting r 2 values, and used the scale with the highest r 2 value in all subsequent analyses (Holland, Bert & Fahrig 2004).”
Body size affects the spatial scale of habitat–beetle interactions (2005, methodology): “The amount of forest around our 190 trapping sites was measured within 19 different radii (Holland et al. 2004).”
Testing the habitat amount hypothesis for South American small mammals (2017, methodology): “Note that we use the term ‘subset’ in two distinct ways: (i) randomly selected non-overlapping subsets of transects, generated by the Focus software and (ii) transect subsets specifically selected to control for one variablewhile testing another, as appropriate for a given prediction (below).”
Effects of landscape heterogeneity on the emerging forest disease sudden oak death (2007, methodology): “To examine the spatial scale at which P. ramorum responds to landscape pattern, each landscape metric was quantified using a multiscale nested approach (e.g. Chust et al. 2004; Holland et al. 2004).”
Habitat selection of breeding riparian birds in an urban environment: untangling the relative importance of biophysical elements and spatial scale (2011, background): “One explanation for this scale dependence may be the variation in the distribution and spatial structure of habitat components on the landscape (Boyce et al., 2003; Holland et al., 2004; Mayor et al., 2008).”
