Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “Habitat fragmentation has become a major research theme in conservation biology, as reflected in the burgeoning literature on the subject (Fahrig 2003; Ewers and Didham 2006a; Lindenmayer and Fischer 2006; Fischer and Lindenmayer 2007; Collinge 2009).”
Quantifying distance of edge influence: A comparison of methods and a new randomization method (2011, background): “Although not shown here, RTEI can also accommodate sampling across the edge into both adjacent ecosystems as advocated by Ewers and Didham (2006), and can be used to test the significance of edge influence in comparison with both adjacent ecosystems as references (Burley et al. 2010).”
Non-native plantation forests as alternative habitat for native forest beetles in a heavily modified landscape (2008, methodology): “Variation in the proportional representation of exotic beetles across habitat edges was modelled by testing the fit of five continuous response functions of increasing complexity: null, linear, power, logistic and unimodal ( Ewers and Didham 2006b ).”
Asymmetrical responses of forest and “beyond edge” arthropod communities across a forest–grassland ecotone (2014, unknown): “…functions of forest and grassland assemblages from the non-habitat (matrix) into the focal habitat; finally, the first and the second derivatives of the functions were used to calculate the magnitude and extent of edge effects on both forest and grassland communities (see Ewers and Didham 2006).”
