Fragmentation effects on forest birds: relative influence of woodland cover and configuration on landscape occupancy
MA Villard, MK Trzcinski, G Merriam - Conservation biology, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Habitat fragmentation has been shown to influence the abundance, movements, and persistence
of many species. We asked the following questions: (1) Do species respond mainly to …
