Carabids and forest edge: spatial pattern and edge effect The spatial distribution of carabid species and the effects of edge on their diversity were studied along two repeated forest-grass transects using pitfall... T Magura - 《Forest Ecology & Management》 被引量: 325发表: 2002年 ...
edge effect n. 1. The occurrence of greater species diversity and biological density in an ecotone than in either of the adjacent ecological communities. 2. A phenomenon, such as a sandhi rule or cliticization, that happens at the edges of words, phrases, or other linguistic units. American...
Insectivorous species' edge responses were diverse and not reliably attributed to foraging-strata guilds (Understorey; Shrub; Canopy; All-Levels; Aerial; Bark). The Tree Martin, an Aerial foraging insectivore, showed an Edge Effect at Establishment edges in the first year of the study only. ...
and R Vencovsky1 Edge effects may affect the mating system of tropical tree species and reduce the genetic diversity and variance effective size of collected seeds at the boundaries of forest fragments because of a reduction in the density of reproductive trees, neighbour size and changes in the...
Besides, in the case of shrub-bordered edge, the dissimilarity of species composition between edge interior was higher in the south than in the north-facing edge. We conclude that the magnitude of the edge effect on epiphytic communities is modulated by the physiognomy of the surrounding matrix ...
Edge effects are increasingly recognised as a threat to interior species, but the influence of edges on open habitats has rarely been addressed so far. We investigated the diversity pattern of the Orthoptera fauna across a habitat edge between a pine plantation and a natural steppe ecosystem. Thir...
000ha. To effect land sparing in practice would require policies that promoted both increases in agricultural yield and the establishment or protection of natural habitats on spared land. Because the optimum scale of patches of spared land for edge-sensitive species is generally larger than the ...
Bird density averaged 236 pairs/40 ha in the corridor interior and 149 pairs/40 ha in the forest interior. Corridor species were less dense at the forest edge than in the corridor interior (P<0.05), whereas densities of forest species at the edge and in the forest interior were similar (...

Introduction An edge is defined as the boundary of two adjacent habitat types and the resulting interactions between them [1,2,3]. Edges...
