Habitat Loss and Fragmentation
Glossary Cover type A term used by the geographers for a type of mapped feature (e.g., forest, freshwater, or grassland). The dominant natural cover type in a landscape is often used to approximate habitat. Fragmentation per se The breaking apart of habitat while keeping habitat amount constant. Habitat The place where an organism normally lives. Habitat fragmentation The breaking apart of habi...
متن کاملCoexistence in Metacommunities: A discrete time, finite patch approach
Metapopulation theory has emerged as a popular paradigm for studying the abundance and distribution of species in a fragmented landscape. A recent extension to metapopulation theory has been the development of metacommunity theory, which broadens the framework to incorporate the interacting dynamics of multiple species. Much of the work using a metacommunity framework has focused on determining...
متن کاملFrom Patch to Repair
The anatomy of the urethral sphincter in both sexes has not been undisputed since it was first described more than 160 years ago. Although 18th and 19th century explanations of the urethral sphincter were most precise and thorough, contemporary textbooks lack details and include inaccuracies and ambiguous statements or illustrations [1,2]. There is currently a need to examine how much we know, ...
متن کاملAmong- and within-patch components of genetic diversity respond at different rates to habitat fragmentation: an empirical demonstration.
Habitat fragmentation is a ubiquitous by-product of human activities that can alter the genetic structure of natural populations, with potentially deleterious effects on population persistence and evolutionary potential. When habitat fragmentation results in the subdivision of a population, random genetic drift then leads to the erosion of genetic diversity from within the resulting subpopulati...
متن کاملPatch aging and the S-Allee effect: breeding system effects on the demographic response of plants to habitat fragmentation.
We used empirical and modeling approaches to examine effects of plant breeding systems on demographic responses to habitat fragmentation. Empirically, we investigated effects of local flowering plant density on pollination and of population size on mate availability in a common, self-incompatible purple coneflower, Echinacea angustifolia, growing in fragmented prairie habitat. Pollination and r...
