COLLABORATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EVIDENCE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW No. 44 DOES STRUCTURAL CONNECTIVITY FACILITATE DISPERSAL OF NATIVE SPECIES IN AUSTRALIA’S FRAGMENTED TERRESTRIAL LANDSCAPES?

Anthropogenic landscape change promotes asymmetric dispersal and limits regional patch occupancy in a spatially structured bird population.

1. Local extinctions in habitat patches and asymmetric dispersal between patches are key processes structuring animal populations in heterogeneous environments. Effective landscape conservation requires an understanding of how habitat loss and fragmentation influence demographic processes within populations and movement between populations. 2. We used patch occupancy surveys and molecular data ...

Effects of habitat fragmentation on effective dispersal of Florida scrub-jays.

Studies comparing dispersal in fragmented versus unfragmented landscapes show that habitat fragmentation alters the dispersal behavior of many species. We used two complementary approaches to explore Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) dispersal in relation to landscape fragmentation. First, we compared dispersal distances of color-marked individuals in intensively monitored continuous ...

Seed-dispersal distributions by trumpeter hornbills in fragmented landscapes.

Frugivorous birds provide important ecosystem services by transporting seeds of fleshy fruited plants. It has been assumed that seed-dispersal kernels generated by these animals are generally leptokurtic, resulting in little dispersal among habitat fragments. However, little is known about the seed-dispersal distribution generated by large frugivorous birds in fragmented landscapes. We investig...
