Evolutionary changes in plant reproductive traits following habitat fragmentation and their consequences for population fitness (2012, background): “Especially in self-incompatible, dioecious or heterostylous species, the disruption of plant–pollinator mutualisms may result in significantly lower reproductive success (Jacquemyn, Brys & Hermy 2002; Tewksbury et al. 2002; Kolb 2005; Leimu et al. 2006).”
Effect of Vegetation Matrix on Animal Dispersal: Genetic Evidence from a Study of Endangered Skinks (2005, background): “Because many landscapes are now fragmented, determining how connectivity can best be promoted in these environments is the subject of concerted research (Beier & Noss 1998; Tewksbury et al. 2002).”
The spatial scale of plant-animal interactions: effects of resource availability and habitat structure (2011, background): “…patchiness may depend on soil suitability for burrowing (in the case of granivory; e.g., Wolton and Flowerdew 1985), whereas large-scale patchiness may depend on forest fragment size, the degree of forest isolation, or the quantity of forest edge (Santos and Tellerı́a 1994, Tewksbury et al. 2002).”
Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, background): “Seed dispersal by avian frugivores is more frequent among patches connected by linear habitat patches than in isolated patches (Tewksbury et al., 2002).”
Genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in plant populations: susceptible signals in plant traits and methodological approaches (2008, background): “Likewise, some ecological processes, especially pollination and seed dispersal of plants, can shape the level of demographic and genetic connectivity among populations in fragmented habitats (Nason et al. 1997; Nathan & MullerLandau 2000; Tewksbury et al. 2002; Hamrick 2004).”
Avian Seed Dispersal of an Invasive Shrub (2006, background): “An experimental study by Tewksbury et al. (2002) determined that more seeds of a bird-dispersed holly were moved between two patches connected to one another via a corridor than between unconnected patches of equal size.”
Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina (2011, background): “Linear fragments can act as corridors connecting larger remnant patches, thus potentially attenuating the negative consequences of fragmentation (Tewksbury et al. 2002; Haddad et al. 2003; Fried et al. 2005; Saarinen et al. 2005; Townsend and Levey 2005), one of which is loss of interspecific intera”
AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF WHETHER HABITAT CORRIDORS AFFECT POLLEN TRANSFER (2005, result): “A more recent experiment at the same site found support for the Traditional Corridor Hypothesis but not for the Drift Fence Hypothesis (Tewksbury et al. 2002).”
LOW-QUALITY HABITAT CORRIDORS AS MOVEMENT CONDUITS FOR TWO BUTTERFLY SPECIES (2005, methodology): “Because of previous results supporting positive corridor effects on movement for these species (Haddad 1999a, Tewksbury et al. 2002), we tested a directional hypothesis and used a one-tailed test for this response variable only.”
The role of forest structure, fragment size and corridors in maintaining small mammal abundance and diversity in an Atlantic forest landscape (2005, background): “…Haddad, 1999; Mech and Hallett, 2001), gene flow (Aars and Ims, 1999; Hale et al., 2001; Mech and Hallett, 2001) and population size (Dunning et al., 1995; Haddad and Baum, 1999; Uezu et al., in press), and may facilitate animal–plant interactions (Tewksbury et al., 2002; Orrock et al., 2003).”
The habitat and conduit functions of roads in the spread of three invasive plant species (2009, neutral): “Seeds may be dispersed by animals or vehicles moving along the road (Schmidt 1989; Tewksbury et al. 2002; Haddad et al. 2003), or carried by wind funneled along a road lined with trees (Liu et al. 1996).”
Do corridors promote dispersal in grassland butterflies and other insects? (2007, background): “multiple Open patches and corridors in forest 150 m Mark-recapture and recording of fruit set Movement rates and fruit set in patches connected or not connected by corridors + Tewksbury et al. (2002)”
Seed predation, not seed dispersal, explains the landscape‐level abundance of an early‐successional plant (2006, background): “2003) or via habitat ‘corridors’ that increase deposition of bird-dispersed seeds (Tewksbury et al. 2002; Haddad et al. 2003; Levey et al. 2005) may depend upon the activities of local seed predators.”
