• RULE-BASED ASSESSMENT OF SUITABLE HABITAT AND PATCH CONNECTIVITY FOR THE EURASIAN LYNX (2002, background): “A variety of case studies have been conducted (e.g., Demers et al. 1995, Haddad 1998, 2000, Brooker et al. 1999, Danielson and Hubbard 2000, Mech and Hallett 2001, Nicholls et al. 2001, Palomares 2001), along with the theoretical framework in neutral landscapes (e.g., Gustafson and Gardner 1996).”
• The effects of habitat fragmentation due to forestry plantation establishment on the demography and genetic variation of a marsupial carnivore, Antechinus agilis (2005, background): “those that are able to use the matrix to some degree) are less likely than habitat specialists to be isolated by habitat fragmentation (Mech and Hallett, 2001; Brouat et al., 2003).”
• Designing a Conservation Landscape for Tigers in Human‐Dominated Environments (2004, background): “In response, conservation biologists are promoting the concept of metapopulation management to conserve large, wide-ranging species (McCullough 1996; Noss et al. 1996; Margules & Pressey 2000; Mech & Hallett 2001).”
• Amphibian declines: future directions (2003, background): “…over the past 20 years had significant effects on genetic distance of red-backed voles (Clethrionomys gapperi); relative to contiguous forest fragments or those that were connected by corridors, clearcut sites showed higher genetic subdivision based on microsatellite data (Mech & Hallett, 2001).”
• Effect of Vegetation Matrix on Animal Dispersal: Genetic Evidence from a Study of Endangered Skinks (2005, background): “…as FST , θ, or RST , and estimators of genetic diversity, such as heterozygosity between populations in different landscapes, with the expectation that the more fragmented landscape should be more genetically structured and less genetically variable (e.g., Knutsen et al. 2000; Mech & Hallett 2001).”
• The role of forest structure, fragment size and corridors in maintaining small mammal abundance and diversity in an Atlantic forest landscape (2005, background): “Corridors may increase movement of individuals (Gonzalez et al., 1998; Haddad, 1999; Mech and Hallett, 2001), gene flow (Aars and Ims, 1999; Hale et al.”
• A range-wide model of landscape connectivity and conservation for the jaguar, Panthera onca (2010, background): “…body of literature supports corridors as valuable conservation tools (Beier and Noss, 1998) that can help preserve the viability of a species (Gilpin and Soulé, 1986; Noss, 1987; Lidicker and Koenig, 1996; Mech and Hallett, 2001; Coulon et al., 2004; Wikramanayake et al., 2004; Hilty et al., 2006).”
• Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic diversity and connectivity among toad populations in the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest (2009, background): “M.

• Corridors for Conservation: Integrating Pattern and Process (2006, background): “Genetic approaches also can be used to measure the effect of corridor patterns on gene flow (e.g., Aars & Ims 1999, Mech & Hallett 2001) or to document that some organisms moved through corridors (e.g., Coffman et al. 2001).”
• CORRIDOR USE BY DIVERSE TAXA (2003, background): “…Thomas 1996, Gonzalez et al. 1998, Haddad 1999a, Mech and Hallett 2001), increase population sizes (Fahrig and Merriam 1985, Dunning et al. 1995, Haddad and Baum 1999), increase gene flow (Aars and Ims 1999, Hale et al. 2001, Mech and Hallett 2001), and maintain biodiversity (Gonzalez et al. 1998).”
• AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF WHETHER HABITAT CORRIDORS AFFECT POLLEN TRANSFER (2005, background): “…ability of corridors to increase immigration and emigration, stem inbreeding depression, lower extinction rates, lessen demographic stochasticity, and generate higher population densities (Gilbert et al. 1998, Gonzalez et al. 1998, Aars and Ims 1999, Haddad and Baum 1999, Mech and Hallett 2001).”
• LOW-QUALITY HABITAT CORRIDORS AS MOVEMENT CONDUITS FOR TWO BUTTERFLY SPECIES (2005, background): “…do increase movement rates between patches (Haas 1995, Sutcliffe and Thomas 1996, Beier and Noss 1998, Haddad 1999a, Tewksbury et al. 2002, Haddad et al. 2003) and increase gene flow (Aars and Ims 1999, Hale et al. 2001, Mech and Hallett 2001), supporting the intended function of corridors.”
