Mechanisms Driving Galling Success in a Fragmented Landscape: Synergy of Habitat and Top-Down Factors along Temperate Forest Edges.

smaller number of host plant species hosted a larger number of insect gall morphotypes in the mesic habitat transects, the estimated galling species richness was higher for this

Here, we studied the effects of distance to forest edge on the abundance, richness and composition of sandfly species on forest edges surrounded by two contrasting matrix

Nevertheless, abundance of galls at the edge habitat was higher than at mesic, forest interior and/or rupestrian habitats.. There was no difference in gall mortality by natural

Small mammal species abundance in 22 study sites, recorded on transect lines in the pasture matrix “A” (Matrix), edge “B” (Edge), and every 50 m from edge to interior of

We identified three habitat guilds: four generalist species, which use forest and pasture matrix; six edge-tolerant species, using forest and edge but not found in pasture

We tested two hypotheses about how fragmentation and habitat loss affect the strength of trophic cascades in fragmented forest habitats by considering four patch metrics (i.e.

Due to a lack of knowledge of the impact of forest fragmentation on edge effects in southwestern Amazonia, we measured tree growth, mortality rate and recruitment on the edge and

Based on field observations and pitfall sampling, we determined the species richness, relative abundance, and reproductive habitat of terrestrial frogs in three municipalities in
