Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

Creator:

Hadley, Adam S.

Abstract:

A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...

Movement and space use by the green hermit (Phaethornis guy) in a fragmented landscape in Costa Rica

Creator:

Volpe, Noelia L.

Abstract:

Human activities have altered Earth’s ecosystems. Most biomes have experienced a 20-50% conversion to human use. Loss of habitat has obvious effects on the persistence of species. Fragmentation, however, may also negatively affect biodiversity for those species that exhibit behavioral responses to changes in habitat configuration. Such behavioral changes include...
