Combining Measures of Dispersal to Identify Conservation Strategies in Fragmented Landscapes

CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 25(5), 1022–1031.

By: A. Leidner n & N. Haddad  n

author keywords: Atrytonopsis; connectivity; crystal skipper; habitat fragmentation; mark-recapture; population genetics; stepping stones
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Butterflies / genetics; Butterflies / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Conservation of Natural Resources / statistics & numerical data; Demography; Ecosystem; Genetics, Population; Geography; North Carolina; Trees
TL;DR: How the use of complementary approaches for studying animal dispersal in fragmented landscapes can help identify conservation strategies is highlighted, with results indicated natural features in the landscape, not urbanization, were barriers to dispersal. (via Semantic Scholar)

Does Tropical Forest Fragmentation Increase Long-Term Variability of Butterfly Communities?

PLOS ONE, 5(3).

By: A. Leidner n, N. Haddad  n & T. Lovejoy *

MeSH headings : Animals; Brazil; Butterflies / physiology; Ecosystem; Environment; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Species Specificity; Time Factors; Trees / growth & development; Trees / physiology; Tropical Climate
TL;DR: It is indicated that butterfly communities in fragmented tropical forests are more variable than in intact forest, and that the natural variability of butterflies was not a buffer against the effects of fragmentation on community dynamics. (via Semantic Scholar)

Natural, not urban, barriers define population structure for a coastal endemic butterfly

CONSERVATION GENETICS, 11(6), 2311–2320.

By: A. Leidner n & N. Haddad  n

author keywords: Population genetics; Habitat fragmentation; Urbanization; Conservation; Atrytonopsis; Population structure
TL;DR: Conservation strategies for Atrytonopsis sp1, and potentially for other mobile insects that use open-structured habitats, should not focus explicitly on habitat corridors through urban areas, but rather should seek to preserve and restore as much habitat as possible across the butterfly’s range.

Effectiveness of biodiversity indicators varies with extent, grain, and region

BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION, 132(4), 448–457.

By: G. Hess*, R. Bartel*, A. Leidner*, K. Rosenfeld*, M. Rubino* , S. Snider*, T. Ricketts

author keywords: indicator taxa; scale; grain; extent; biodiversity hotspots
TL;DR: Examination of correlations in species richness between each of seven taxa and total richness of the remaining six taxa at varying grains and extents in two regions of the US suggests planning based on indicator relationships developed in other geographic locations is risky, even if planning occurs at an equivalent grain and extent.
