• Occupancy dynamics in a tropical bird community: unexpectedly high forest use by birds classified as non‐forest species (2010, methodology): “In contrast, the BIDE model predicts that as habitat area deceases, colonization of the matrix by individuals increases, where mortality is assumed to be higher (Fahrig 2002).”
• Time series of landscape fragmentation caused by transportation infrastructure and urban development: a case study from Baden-Württemberg, Germany. (2007, background): “Viable populations require minimum areas of habitat, smaller than which populations are prone to extinction (With and King 1999, Fahrig 2001, 2002).”
• COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF HABITAT FRAGMENTATION EFFECTS (2002, background): “Recent simulation results suggest that habitat loss may have a much larger effect than habitat fragmentation (configuration) on population extinction (Fahrig 1997, 1998, 2002).”
• HABITAT LOSS AND FRAGMENTATION IN DYNAMIC LANDSCAPES: AVIAN PERSPECTIVES FROM THE BOREAL FOREST* (2002, background): “…has focused for more than three decades on the ecological effects of fragmentation, recently there has been considerable debate as to the relative influence of habitat loss and changes in spatial configuration on population trajectories in disturbed landscapes (e.g., With 1999, Fahrig 2002).”
• Forecasting Regional to Global Plant Migration in Response to Climate Change (2005, background): “…spread and migration across the cell carries implicit assumptions about whether patches within a grid cell are uniformly, randomly, or fractally distributed; about the degree of fragmentation and spatial pattern; and about how these patterns affect the movement of propagules (Fahrig 2002).”
• Analyzing the effect of stepping stones on target patch colonisation in structured landscapes for Eurasian lynx (2011, background): “search time sensu Tischendorf and Fahrig (2000a). We have shown with this example how the effect of stepping stones can be assessed for individual species.”
• Landscape size affects the relative importance of habitat amount, habitat fragmentation, and matrix quality on forest birds (2011, background): “…can influence species’ abundances and distributions in suitable habitat through several processes (Kupfer et al. 2006): mortality during dispersal (Fahrig 2002); changes in movement, which in turn affect patch colonization (Ricketts 2001); influences on microclimate within habitat patches (Burke…”
• Protecting Forest Areas for Biodiversity in Sweden 1991-2010 : the Policy Implementation Process and Outcomes on the Ground (2011, background): “…thresholds for how much habitat loss specialized species can withstand without losing their viability (e.g., Andrén 1999, Bender et al. 1998, Fahrig 2001, 2002, Angelstam et al. 2004c, Rompré et al. 2010, Angelstam et al. 2012) is central for the understanding of the need for both short and…”
• Spatial and temporal analysis of the distribution of forest specialists in an urban-fragmented landscape (Madrid, Spain) Implications for local and regional bird conservation (2004, background): “This could have reduced the abundance of some species, and hence diminished their probabilities of colonization and increased their chances of local extinction in small parks (Fahrig, 2002).”
• Smart spatial incentives for market-based conservation (2008, background): “Furthermore, for many endangered species, not only the absolute loss of habitat area, but also habitat fragmentation is a major cause of population decline (compare e.g. Saunders et al., 1991; Fahrig, 2002).”
• Beyond the Fragmentation Threshold Hypothesis: Regime Shifts in Biodiversity Across Fragmented Landscapes (2010, background): “We believe that the conceptual model presented here will help advance our understanding of the ecological consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation by linking together three previously established ideas, namely: (1) the importance of patch size and isolation as determinants of local extinction ”
• The influence of landscape structure on occurrence, abundance and genetic diversity of the common frog, Rana temporaria (2005, background): “…sizes (carrying capacity; Verboom et al., 1991); and (3) increased demographic instability of local populations (Lacy & Lindenmayer, 1995; Lindenmayer & Lacy, 1995) owing to fluctuations in the number of births and deaths, as well as in the number of immigrants and emigrants (Fahrig, 2001, 2002).”
• Quantifying functional connectivity: Experimental evidence for patch-specific resistance in the Natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) (2004, background): “... across the landscape allows the ‘rescue’ of local populations from extinction Brown and Kodric-Brown 1977, reduces inbreeding depression Keller and Weller 2002, and allows the recolonization of empty habitat patches Hanski 1998, 1999a with major effects on population viability, as the extinction”
• HIERARCHICAL ANALYSIS OF FOREST BIRD SPECIES–ENVIRONMENT RELATIONSHIPS IN THE OREGON COAST RANGE (2004, background): “…more important than configuration, and that configuration becomes significantly important only at low levels of habitat area (With and Crist 1995, Fahrig 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, Hill and Caswell 1999, With and King 1999a, 1092 SAMUEL A.
