Independent Effects Of Fragmentation On Forest Songbirds: An Organism-Based Approach

Abstract: The degree to which spatial patterns influence the dynamics and distribution of populations is a central question in ecology. This question is even more pressing in the context of rapid habitat loss and fragmentation, which threaten global biodiversity. However, the relative influence of habitat loss and landscape fragmentation, the spatial patterning of remaining habitat, remains unclear. If landscape pattern affects population size, managers may be able to design landscapes that mitigate habitat loss. We pre… Show more

“…The most frequently studied fragmentation consequences include assessment of the effects on birds. Betts et al (2006), who investigated dependence of two bird species on fragmentation of their natural biotopes, confirms the hypothesis that landscape configuration is important for selected species only in case of a too small range area and isolated occurrence of suitable biotopes. Faaborg et al (1993) pointed to the main fragmentation consequences for the neotropical migrating birds and simultaneously presented his proposals how to minimise the negative effects of fragmentation in landscape management.…”

“…A second general implication of our results is to address the ongoing debate about the relative importance of habitat configuration and composition for conservation (16). Although much of this literature has focused on predicting occurrence or population size (43)(44)(45), movement is the domain most pertinent to configuration. Our measure of configuration (treatment) was included in models much more often than our composition variable (proportion tree cover).…”

“…Subregions held more forest bird species when forest was represented by one or two large fragments rather than several smaller fragments. However, a fragmentation effect on species persistence may be present only in subregions that have experienced a certain amount of forest loss (Belts et al, 2006;G. Rompre, unpublished data).…”
