An Experimental Test of Corridor Effects on Butterfly Densities
In a large-scale experiment, we found that three habitat-restricted butterfly species reached higher densities in patches connected by corridors than in similar, isolated patches. We conducted our study in 27 equal-sized (1.64-ha) patches that varied in whether or not they were connected to another patch by a corridor. Patches and corridors were open, early-successional habitat that contrasted ...
متن کاملUrban neighborhood regeneration; Interpretive structural modeling of the factors affecting connected public spaces
Urban planning has emphasized quicker, lighter, and cheaper methods in recent years. According to urban studies, urban public spaces are valuable factors for urban neighborhood regeneration. Although, the concept of the network (connectivity in public spaces) is not new, and various authors and researchers had applied and adapted it to different areas of urban planning, it would be a new approa...
متن کاملHow corridors reduce indigo bunting nest success.
Corridors are a popular strategy to conserve biodiversity and promote gene flow in fragmented landscapes. Corridor effectiveness has been bolstered by the fact that no empirical field studies have shown negative effects on populations or communities. I tested the hypothesis that corridors increase nest predation in connected habitat fragments relative to unconnected fragments. I evaluated this ...
متن کاملA meta-analytic review of corridor effectiveness.
Using corridors for conservation is increasing despite a lack of consensus on their efficacy. Specifically, whether corridors increase movement of plants and animals between habitat fragments has been addressed on a case-by-case basis with mixed results. Because of the growing number of well-designed experiments that have addressed this question, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine whethe...
متن کاملEffects of Corridors on Genetics of a Butterfl y in a Landscape Experiment
To investigate the possible role of landscape connectivity on the genetic structure of isolated populations, we examined the effects of habitat corridors on the population genetics of a vagile butterfl y species, Junonia coenia, within a largescale, experimental system. Using allozyme electrophoresis, a total of nine loci were identifi ed and scored, six of which exhibited polymorphism. Our dat...
