Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “For example, small patches of ﬂowers potentially attract pollinators to nest in a location that cannot sustain positive offspring production over time; as such they could represent sinks or ecological traps (cf. Weldon & Haddad 2005).”
Corridors for Conservation: Integrating Pattern and Process (2006, background): “Fourth, if corridors result in ecological traps or sinks (e.g., Weldon & Haddad 2005; but see Little et al. 2002), is their corridor function necessarily compromised?”
IS SELECTIVELY HARVESTED FOREST AN ECOLOGICAL TRAP FOR OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS? (2007, background): “…disturbances (e.g., fire or windstorms) may result in areas that provide all the evolved stimuli that promote settling by an organism, but lack the ultimately important food resources or relief from predation normally associated with a naturally disturbed environment (Weldon and Haddad 2005).”
Non‐optimal animal movement in human‐altered landscapes (2007, unknown): “Indigo Buntings preferentially select patches with more edge, even though reproductive success is lower in these patches than in patches with less edge (Weldon & Haddad 2005).”
