Movement ecology of amphibians: A missing component for understanding population declines (2014, background): “sions (Fahrig, 2007).”
The role of habitat configuration in shaping social structure: a gap in studies of animal social complexity (2019, background): “…across their habitats are important for processes such as finding new resources, acquiring mates (e.g. avoiding inbreeding) and reducing competition, all of which are linked to their survival and reproduction (Boinski and Garber 2000; Jonsen and Taylor 2000; Fahrig 2007; McLean et al. 2016).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Behavioral Responses of Northern Leopard Frogs (Rana pipiens) to Roads and Traffic: Implications for Population Persistence (2009, background): “Combined, the negative effects of traffic on frog populations and the miscued response of frogs to approaching vehicles indicate a mismatch between frogs’ evolved movement behaviors and the humanaltered landscapes through which they must move (Fahrig 2007).”
Functional landscape heterogeneity and animal biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. (2011, background): “Elements of landscape heterogeneity can influence a variety of ecological responses, including animal movement (reviewed in Fahrig 2007), population persistence (Fraterrigo et al. 2009), species interactions (Polis et al. 2004) and ecosystem function (Lovett et al. 2005).”
Occupancy dynamics in a tropical bird community: unexpectedly high forest use by birds classified as non‐forest species (2010, background): “This information is crucial for conservation and wildlife management (Blaum & Wichmann 2007; Fahrig 2007; Franklin & Lindenmayer 2009), especially in regions where it is more feasible to improve the quality of the matrix than to increase the proportion of focal habitat (Rudel 2006; Perfecto &…”
Habitat suitability, corridors and dispersal barriers for large carnivores in Poland (2010, background): “Obviously, animals do not usually know in advance about potential risks they may encounter along the entire length of a specific route, and decision ‘errors’ are also expected because animals may have evolved in a quite different (not anthropogenically influenced) environment (Fahrig 2007).”
Use of resistance surfaces for landscape genetic studies: considerations for parameterization and analysis (2010, background): “In other words, there are other costs that can be incurred that could be quantified or modelled that deal with other factors than the landscape matrix between sites which cannot be included by using landscape features as surrogate for them (Fahrig 2007).”
Estimating effective landscape distances and movement corridors: Comparison of habitat and genetic data (2015, background): “Spatial-genetic structure within populations is likely less dependent on the resistance of the landscape matrix (Fahrig 2007), but more strongly influenced by many other biological and ecological factors acting locally, including sex-specific space-use behavior, local population density, survival,…”
Impact of landscape composition and configuration on forest specialist and generalist bird species in the fragmented Lacandona rainforest, Mexico (2015, background): “…covers, can maintain more resources (Dunning et al., 1992; Fahrig et al., 2011) and higher landscape connectivity (Antongiovanni and Metzger, 2005; Fahrig, 2007), thus supporting more species than landscapes with homogeneous matrices (see the ‘‘landscape insurance hypothesis’’; Tscharntke et al.,…”
Evolution of dispersal strategies and dispersal syndromes in fragmented landscapes (2017, background): “Moreover, increasing inter-patch distances magnifies dispersal risks; fragmentation may reduce movements among patches (Fahrig 2007) and worsen the extinction vortex.”
Knowing the past to predict the future: land‐use change and the distribution of invasive bullfrogs (2010, background): “However, animal movements are strongly influenced by landscape features (Be ´lisle, 2005; Fahrig, 2007 ).”
What can genetics tell us about population connectivity? (2010, background): “For example, when dispersal is limited to corridors of once-continuous habitat, resulting in dispersal rates that are high and asymmetrical, emigration may overwhelm local recruitment in donor populations (Cronin 2007; Fahrig 2007).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “The effect of evolutionary history on learning Evolutionary history has shaped learning not only in the sense that some animals have evolved to be generally better at learning than others but also in the sense that animals have evolved to learn more readily in some situations than others and have…”
Determinants and Consequences of Dispersal in Vertebrates with Complex Life Cycles: A Review of Pond-Breeding Amphibians (2018, background): “Inhomogeneous landscapes, the cost incurred is proportional to the distance traveled, which in turn depends on three parameters: the proportion of time dedicated to dispersing, the rate at which the movement occurs, and the directionality of the movement (Fahrig 2007; Barton et al. 2009).”
Biodiversity Response To Habitat Loss And Fragmentation (2017, background): “…of population in habitat patches surrounded by a hostile matrix can lead to deterministic changes in populations and communities by disrupting dispersal and forcing dispersing individuals to spendmore time in the matrix and thereby being subjected to increased mortality risk (Fahrig, 2007).”
Ecological correlates of dispersal distance in terrestrial mammals (2013, background): “Fifth, we expect specialist species to disperse less than generalists, showing a stronger “boundary response” (Fahrig, 2007).”
