Landscape‐level influences of terrestrial snake occupancy within the southeastern United States

Abstract: Habitat loss and degradation are thought to be the primary drivers of species extirpations, but for many species we have little information regarding specific habitats that influence occupancy. Snakes are of conservation concern throughout North America, but effective management and conservation are hindered by a lack of basic natural history information and the small number of large‐scale studies designed to assess general population trends. To address this information gap, we compiled detection/nondetection … Show more

“…We based this study on a data set that was previously used to examine how terrestrial snake occupancy was influenced by land cover (Steen et al . ). Data were compiled from 449 passive traps from a number of different sites located across the south‐eastern United States, from North Carolina through eastern Texas.…”

“…Consequently, adult mosquitoes are often found in abundance close to their original larval habitats, presence and abundance of which depends on landscape cover, climate and seasonality [1416]. Landscape elements not only control breeding habitat availability but also govern occurrence and abundance of suitable hosts groups, such as birds [17], amphibians [18] and reptiles [19, 20]. Indeed, effects of landscape factors on mosquito diversity and abundance are increasingly assessed in ecological analyses of mosquito communities [2123].…”

“…We also created an ''Urban'' variable (i.e., an index of urbanization) which represented the sum of the area covered by buildings and paved surfaces. All land cover variables were z-transformed before analysis to place all area measurements on the same scale (Bradley et al, 2008;Steen et al, 2012).…”
