Habitat fragmentation, percolation theory and the conservation of a keystone species
Many species survive in specialized habitats. When these habitats are destroyed or fragmented the threat of extinction looms. In this paper, we use percolation theory to conside...
Extinction in Nature Reserves: The Effect of Fragmentation and the Importance of Migration between Reserve Fragments
Simulation time is crucial to how the risk of extinction changes with fragmentation. For short to moderate time spans the probability of extinction increases exponentially with ...
Extinction Rates
Abstract As the need increases for sound estimates of impending rates of animal and plant species extinction, scientists must have a firm grounding in the qualitative and quanti...
Habitat Fragmentation and Extinction Thresholds in Spatially Explicit Models
The incidence of habitat destruction on the survivorship of a single metapopulation is studied by means of a spatially explicit model. As the proportion of destroyed sites incre...
