Experimental design and taxonomic scope of fragmentation studies on European mammals: current status and future priorities
ABSTRACT 1 Habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and habitat degradation are the greatest
threats to mammals in Europe and the rest of the world. Despite the fact that extensive …

Small mammal abundance in Mediterranean post-fire habitats: a role for predators?
We studied patterns of small mammal abundance and species richness in post-fire habitats
by sampling 33 plots (225 m2 each) representing different stages of vegetation recovery …

Do prey densities determine preferences of mammalian predators for habitat edges in an agricultural landscape?
Increased predation pressure along habitat edges is often associated with increased
predator activity. However, factors affecting predator affinity for habitat edges remain largely …

Effects of forest fragmentation on the granivory of differently sized seeds
The Maulino forest is a unique temperate ecosystem restricted to a small range of the coast
of central Chile. This forest harbors many endemic species, and is threatened due to …

Local habitat and landscape affect Ixodes ricinus tick abundances in forests on poor, sandy soils
A large fraction of the forests in northern Belgium consists of homogeneous pine stands on
nutrient-poor and acid sandy soils. However, in common with many other parts of Europe …

Effects of forest fragmentation on the oak–rodent mutualism
Land‐use changes are expected to affect plant–disperser conditional mutualisms through
changes in animal behavior. We analyzed the oak–rodent conditional mutualism in …

Non-target effects of an introduced biological control agent on deer mouse ecology
Release of exotic insects as biological control agents is a common approach to controlling
exotic plants. Though controversy has ensued regarding the deleterious direct effects of …

Mice population dynamics and structure over time and space after wildfires
Rodents respond quickly to changes in habitat structure after wildfires. They constitute
important prey items for vertebrate predators and influence vegetation structure and …

Complex edge effect fields as additive processes in patches of ecological systems
C Fernández, FJ Acosta, G Abellá, F López, M Dı́az - Ecological Modelling, 2002 - Elsevier
The edge effect is one of the main phenomena studied by landscape ecology, since it plays
a decisive role in determining the structure and dynamics of ecological patches. Most …
