A species-centered approach for uncovering generalities in organism responses to habitat loss and fragmentation (2014, neutral): “In a meta-analysis of the inﬂ uence of ‘ patch size ’ on population density, Connor et al. (2000) found that although the overall eﬀ ect of patch size was positive, 40% of relationships reported were negative and ∼ 60% positive.”
Diversity patterns of wild bees and wasps in managed boreal forests: Effects of spatial structure, local habitat and surrounding landscape (2015, background): “Larger patches also contain more resources, which can sustain more individuals (Connor et al., 2000), decreasing extinction risks.”
Area Sensitivity in North American Grassland Birds: Patterns and Processes (2009, background): “That increased patch size leads to increased population size is a tenet of both island biogeography and metapopulation theories; under neither theory will area-per-se lead to increased density of a given species with increased patch size (Connor et al. 2000).”
Demographic Responses by Birds to Forest Fragmentation (2005, background): “Bender et al. (1998) and Connor et al. (2000) reviewed studies of numerical responses (changes in density and abundance) of birds to varying patch sizes.”
Diademed Sifaka (Propithecus diadema) Ranging and Habitat Use in Continuous and Fragmented Forest: Higher Density but Lower Viability in Fragments? (2008, background): “Meta-analyses (Bender et al. 1998, Connor et al. 2000) have shown that the relationship between population density and fragment area is highly variable among higher taxonomic groups (insects, birds, and mammals), and even varies among species within groups.”
SCALE‐DEPENDENT EFFECTS OF LANDSCAPE CONTEXT ON THREE POLLINATOR GUILDS (2002, background): “Decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches lead to a decline in species richness and abundance as well as to changes in community structure (Holt et al. 1999, Connor et al. 2000, Debinski and Holt 2000, SteffanDewenter and Tscharntke 2000a).”
Alternatives to statistical hypothesis testing in ecology: a guide to self teaching. (2006, background): “…(Gelman et al. 1995), and have recently been extensively used in fisheries (Hilborn and Liermann 1998, Myers 2001, Myers et al. 2001, 2002, Dorn 2002) and ecology (Bender et al. 1998, Connor et al. 2000, Schmitz et al. 2000, Chalfoun et al. 2002, Fahrig 2002, Hillebrand and Cardinale 2004).”
Statistical challenges in null model analysis (2012, background): “For example, rather than assuming all sites of being equiprobable or fi xing species richness per site, null models can place species on sites with probabilities determined by patch area (Connor et al. 2000, Jenkins 2006) or habitat suitability (PeresNeto et al. 2001).”
Patch Size and Population Density: the Effect of Immigration Behavior (2002, positive): “Moreover, if large islands have more species, as MacArthur and Wilson’s theory predicts, then density compensation among competing species in a guild would result in lower densities of individual species on larger islands (Schoener 1986; see Connor et al. 2000).”
Impacts of rain forest fragmentation on butterflies in northern Borneo: species richness, turnover and the value of small fragments (2006, background): “Species richness is highly sensitive to sample size and, even though sampling effort was standardized, sampling efficiency or total butterfly abundance may have varied across sites ( Connor, Courtney & Yoder 2000 ).”
Forest fragmentation and the distribution, abundance and conservation of the Tana river red colobus (Procolobus rufomitratus) (2004, background): “However, with time, positive correlations between population density and patch area are more likely to occur in highly fragmented landscapes because extinction probability is usually higher on smaller patches due to Allee effects (Andren, 1994; Connor et al., 2000 ).”
Effects of vegetation structure and edge habitat on the density and distribution of white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) in small and large forest patches (2003, background): “Another explanation for the larger number of captures in smaller patches may be that mice use the agricultural matrix more as patch size decreases, with more mice captured in the edge of small patches as they move out into the matrix (Laurance 1990; Bowers et al. 1996; Bayne and Hobson 1998; Connor ”
