A Quantitative Conservation Approach for the Endangered Butterfly Maculinea alcon (2004, background): “So, restoring the quality and area of individual sites is the highest priority for such island populations, but overcoming habitat fragmentation clearly is crucial for long-term species conservation (see also Thomas et al. 2001; Fleishman et al. 2002).”
Landscape attributes and life history variability shape genetic structure of trout populations in a stream network (2006, background): “population dynamics in a wide array of species, including insects (Fleishman et al. 2002; Hanski et al. 2002), amphibians (Funk et al.”
Community structure and differential responses of aquatic turtles to agriculturally induced habitat fragmentation (2006, background): “Unmeasured habitat variables, such as water depth, substrate, submerged vegetation and woody debris, may provide more explanatory power than patch and landscape metrics (Fleishman et al. 2002; Moll and Moll 2004).”
Contrasting effects of habitat quantity and quality on moth communities in fragmented landscapes (2004, background): “Habitat loss is widely regarded as the single greatest threat facing forest plant and animal communities worldwide (Ehrlich 1988, Fahrig 2001 ).”
Effect of habitat area and isolation on fragmented animal populations (2008, background): “Irrespective of matrix effects, habitat patches often vary substantially in quality (21, 22).”
Species richness patterns and metapopulation processes – evidence from epiphyte communities in boreo‐nemoral forests (2006, background): “Studies have shown that patch quality can supersede the effects of patch area and isolation on metapopulation dynamics (e.g. Fleishman et al. 2002).”
The new rurality: Globalization, peasants and the paradoxes of landscapes (2010, background): “of the matrix has enormous implications on the impacts on fragmentation (HARVEY; VILLALOBOS, 2007; FLEISHMAN et al., 2002).”
The influences of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and movement: a review (2009, background): “Fleishman et al. (2002) showed that abundant adult and larval resources and low levels of leaf litter and human-mediated disturbance (e.g. stock grazing) were more important than area or isolation in determining patch occupancy for the butterfly Speyeria nokomis apacheana in the Great Basin of…”
Patch‐ and landscape‐scale effects on howler monkey distribution and abundance in rainforest fragments (2007, background): “…abundance of animals in fragmented landscapes depends, in large part, on preferences for habitat fragments of higher quality (patchscale) and the degree to which they are capable of moving between them (landscape-scale; Moilanen & Hanski, 1998; Mazerolle & Villard, 1999; Fleishman et al., 2002).”
The classical metapopulation theory and the real, natural world: a critical appraisal (2004, background): “Finally, several empirical studies indicate that habitat quality parameters have a larger explanatory power than patch area or patch isolation on metapopulation persistence (e.g. Thomas et al., 2001; Fleishman et al., 2002).”
The Influence of Large Tree Density on Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata mexicana) Presence in Very Small Rain Forest Fragments (2007, background): “…from fragment size and isolation, other habitat attributes, such as food resources play an important role in the occupation of fragments by several animal species including primates (Fleishman et al. 2002, Mbora & Meikle 2004, AnzuresDadda & Manson 2006, Rode et al. 2006, Worman & Chapman 2006).”
