• Behavior of class-level landscape metrics across gradients of class aggregation and area (2004, background): “Further, recent studies have shown that edge effects are dependent on landscape composition and context e.g., contrast between focal habitat and adjacent patches and amount of like habitat in the vicinity of fragments e.g., Heske et al. 2001 .”
• Critical Demographic Parameters for Declining Songbirds Breeding in Restored Grasslands (2006, background): “Fletcher et al. Songbird Demography in Restored Grasslands 145 predation on nests (reviewed in Heske et al. 2001) or brood parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater; e.g., Smith et al. 2002) without determining what parameters are most responsive for increasing population growth rates.”
• The role of disturbance in the ecology and conservation of birds (2001, background): “Associations Between Habitat Disturbance and Population Viability Studies of forest birds, habitat fragmentation, and edge effects clearly identify the usefulness of information on annual reproductive success and other demographic traits that affect population viability (Heske et al. 2001).”
• Video identification of predators at Golden-cheeked Warbler nests (2004, background): “Snakes were the most frequent predators of Golden-cheeked Warbler eggs and nestlings, but we suggest that the relative importance of predator types for a bird species may vary regionally, depending on habitat type, landscape composition, or geography (Heske et al. 2001; Thompson et al. 2002).”
• Understanding avian nest predation: why ornithologists should study snakes (2004, background): “Studies of breeding birds have been prominent in that body of work, with many studies providing evidence of increased nest predation associated with habitat fragmentation and edges (Heske et al. 2001).”
