Abstract:The extent of early successional vegetation communities is declining worldwide. Sometimes species use early successional vegetation communities associated with anthropogenic development (e.g., rangeland, cropland, transportation corridors, aggregate mines), given that, at face value, these ecosystem types can share many of the same characteristics (e.g., lack of mature trees). This may have a negative impact on species' health by lowering access to resources or by increasing exposure or susceptibility to vecto… Show more
