A multi-scale analysis of species-environment relationships : breeding birds in a pitch pine-scrub oak (Pinus rigida-Quercus ilicifolia) community (2003, background): “Individual bird species distributions have also been shown to be less associated with patch level factors than with landscape level factors (Saab, 1999; Bailey et al., 2002; Lee et al., 2002).”
Linking fish and prawns to their environment: a hierarchical landscape approach (2004, background): “…are: (1) to determine the spatial scales at which physical structure in the landscape are most influential (e.g. McGarigal & McComb 1995, Lee et al. 2002) and (2) to determine the relative importance of landscape composition versus landscape configuration that can affect ecological…”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “Moreover, the spatial resolution of sampled data is of major importance (Lee et al., 2002).”
The relative importance of landscape and community features in the invasion of an exotic shrub in a fragmented landscape (2006, methodology): “At each point, we used the point quarter method ( Krebs 1989 ) to determine the species, diameter at breast height (dbh), and distance to the point for the nearest tree (dbh� /10 cm), sapling (dbh 2.5/10 cm) and shrub (� /0.5 m tall belonging to a species with a multi-stemmed habit) within each quad”
Relationships between bird species and tree species assemblages in forested habitats of eastern North America (2005, background): “…clearly understood that, for many forest bird species, the particular composition and structure of the landscape matrix in which a survey plot is embedded may have a profound influence on their presence and/or abundance within it (Freemark & Collins, 1992; Freemark et al., 2002; Lee et al., 2002).”
Thresholds in Forest Bird Response to Habitat Alteration as Quantitative Targets for Conservation (2005, background): “…by forestry is composed of stands of different age, structure, and composition, which exhibit subtle contrasts in habitat quality (Robinson & Robinson 2001; Lee et al. 2002; Jobes et al. 2004) or permeability to movement (Bélisle & Desrochers 2002; Gobeil & Villard 2002; Robichaud et al. 2002).”
A Multiscale Landscape Approach to Predicting Bird and Moth Rarity Hotspots in a Threatened Pitch Pine–Scrub Oak Community (2004, background): “This approach was justifiable given that many species, particularly birds, are strongly influenced by landscape- and patch-level variables (e.g., McGarigal & McComb 1995; Mazerolle & Villard 1999; Saab 1999; Illera 2001; Lee et al. 2002; Grand & Cushman 2003).”
