A multi-scaled analysis of avian response to habitat amount and fragmentation in the Canadian dry mixed-grass prairie (2006, background): “Moreover, landscape-level research must focus on determining whether landscape-level patterns result from landscape-level mechanisms, or more local ones (Bender et al. 1998; McGarigal and Cushman 2002).”
Optimizing landscape selection for estimating relative effects of landscape variables on ecological responses (2013, background): “, confounding) can lead to weak inferences (McGarigal and Cushman 2002; Smith et al. 2009; Eigenbrod et al. 2011), independence between predictor variables was the third criterion for landscape selection.”
Genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in plant populations: susceptible signals in plant traits and methodological approaches (2008, background): “While evolutionary fragmentation may be a more gradual and slower process that may also ‘have an end’, ongoing ecological fragmentation is a much faster increasing, non-random process (Saunders et al. 1991; McGarigal & Cushman 2002; Fahrig 2003).”
Assessing Habitat Fragmentation Effects on Primates: The Importance of Evaluating Questions at the Correct Scale (2013, background): “This can only be done through landscape-scale studies, that is, by using landscapes as the independent units of observation (McGarigal and Cushman 2002 ; Fahrig 2003 ; Arroyo-Rodríguez and Mandujano 2009 ).”
Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation: a synthesis (2007, background): “…relative effects of habitat loss and habitat sub-division (Fahrig, 2003), experimental approaches to studying ‘fragmentation’ (Debinski & Holt, 2000; McGarigal & Cushman, 2002), the history of fragmentation research (Haila, 2002), metapopulation dynamics (Hanski 1998), or edge effects (Ries et…”
Confronting collinearity: comparing methods for disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation (2009, background): “The current understanding of the relative importance of habitat loss and fragmentation is limited because of the high degree of correlation between them (McGarigal and Cushman 2002; Fahrig 2003).”
A CONCEPTUAL GENEALOGY OF FRAGMENTATION RESEARCH: FROM ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY TO LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY* (2002, background): “McGarigal and Cushman (2002) drew similar conclusions in their review of experimental approaches to fragmentation in the late 1990s: vertebrates, particularly songbirds, dominated as study organisms, and most studies were focused on patches instead of landscapes.”
Applications of landscape genetics in conservation biology: concepts and challenges (2010, background): “The effects of landscape patterns on population genetic processes are a classic example of a landscape-level process (McGarigal and Cushman 2002).”
Testing the habitat amount hypothesis for South American small mammals (2017, positive): “We used a mensurative experimental approach (McGarigal and Cushman, 2002).”
Impact of landscape composition and configuration on forest specialist and generalist bird species in the fragmented Lacandona rainforest, Mexico (2015, methodology): “Following McGarigal and Cushman (2002), we adopted a patchlandscape approach, in which response variables are evaluated within old-growth forest patches (forest patches hereafter) and landscape variables are measured within a specified radius from the center of these patches.”
Positive effects of forest fragmentation, independent of forest amount, on bat abundance in eastern Ontario, Canada (2011, methodology): “To examine the independent effects of forest amount and forest fragmentation on bat abundance, we used a mensurative experimental approach (McGarigal and Cushman 2002).”
LANDSCAPE VS. LOCAL HABITAT SCALE INFLUENCES TO INSECT COMMUNITIES FROM TALLGRASS PRAIRIE REMNANTS (2004, neutral): “The consequences of fragmentation and community dynamics in response to fragmentation are difﬁcult to assess because of the inherent complexity caused by biotic and abiotic interactions at multiple scales (McGarigal and Cushman 2002).”
Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “Some degree of mobility also is known for other northwestern amphibians, but mobility may be coupled with site specificity at other life stages or seasons.”
Conservation issues in the Brazilian Atlantic forest (2009, background): “Those trends could be biased toward the response of small mammals and trees, the predominantly studied groups, which is the common trend in all fragmentation studies (McGarigal and Cushman, 2002).”
Tree and shrub invasion in northern mixed-grass prairie: implications for breeding grassland birds (2004, background): “Yet, McGarigal and Cushman (2002) report that only 5% of all studies that examined fragmentation effects were conducted in grassland, desert, or steppe systems.”
