Habitat fragmentation and landscape change
Broad-scale destruction and fragmentation of native vegetation is a highly visible result of human land-use throughout the world (Chapter 4). From the Atlantic Forests of South America to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, and in many other regions on Earth, much of the original vegetation now remains only as fragments amidst expanses of land committed to feeding and housing human beings. ...
متن کاملIndo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) habitat preference in a heterogeneous, urban, coastal environment
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Limited information is available regarding the habitat preference of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) in South Australian estuarine environments. The need to overcome this paucity of information is crucial for management and conservation initiatives. This preliminary study investigates the space-time patterns of habitat preference by the Indo-Pacif...

متن کاملLarge Organic Debris and Anadramous Fish Habitat in the Coastal Redwood Environment: The Hydrologic System
This research on effects of large organic debris on stream channel form and process relevant to anadromous fish habitat was along three lines of inquiry. First. new ways to evaluate discrete hydrologic environments, such as pools. riffles and debris accumulations were developed .. Experiments completed provided basic data to test a model useful for predicting hydraulic geometry of pools and rif...
متن کاملMetapopulation persistence in a dynamic landscape: more habitat or better stewardship?
Habitat loss and fragmentation has created metapopulations where there were once continuous populations. Ecologists and conservation biologists have become interested in the optimal way to manage and conserve such metapopulations. Several authors have considered the effect of patch disturbance and recovery on metapopulation persistence, but almost all such studies assume that every patch is equ...
