author keywords: butterflies; distance sampling; endangered butterflies; insects; mark-recapture; rare species; species monitoring; threatened species; transect counts
MeSH headings : Animals; Butterflies / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Population Density; Time Factors
TL;DR: Mark–recapture analysis provided by far the greatest amount of demographic information, including estimates of population size, detection, survival, and recruitment probabilities, and Pollard–Yates population indices derived from transect counts did not provide estimates of demographic parameters.

MeSH headings : Animal Migration; Animals; Biodiversity; Birds / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Trees / physiology
TL;DR: A clever behavioral experiment is offered that offers new insights into the circumstances under which corridors benefit species and helps clarify the scientific question: Do corridors actually work to promote dispersal and conserve biodiversity? (via Semantic Scholar)

Species' traits predict the effects of disturbance and productivity on diversity

ECOLOGY LETTERS, 11(4), 348–356.

author keywords: community; disturbance; diversity; productivity; species' traits; species richness
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria; Biodiversity; Biomass; Body Size; Competitive Behavior; Environment; Eukaryota; Reproduction
TL;DR: It is found that - alone or in concert - increasing disturbance intensity or frequency, or decreasing productivity, reduced diversity, and it is demonstrated that species' traits can help resolve conflicting patterns in the response of diversity to disturbance and productivity.

author keywords: corridors; dispersal; diversity; life-history traits; species richness
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Ecology / methods; Ecosystem; Models, Biological; Plants; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: This framework was modified to generate predictions for species richness dynamics of fragmented plant communities and found that two external factors affected species colonization and recolonization in habitat fragments and their effects varied and depended on motion capacity.

Low-quality habitat corridors as movement conduits for two butterfly species

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 15(1), 250–257.

By: N. Haddad n & J. Tewksbury*

author keywords: butterfly; connectivity; conservation; corridor; dispersal; Euptoieta claudia; fragmentation; gene flow; habitat quality; Junonia coenia; landscape experiment; small populations
TL;DR: It is shown that open-habitat corridors can serve as dispersal conduits even when corridors do not support resident butterfly populations, and that for species that can traverse corridors within a generation, corridor habitat may be lower in quality than larger patches and still increase dispersal and gene flow.

By: A. Weldon n & N. Haddad n

author keywords: disturbance-dependent birds; ecological trap; edge habitat; fragmentation; habitat selection; Indigo Bunting; nest success; Passerina cyanea; patch shape; reproductive success
TL;DR: This work experimentally demonstrated how habitat shape, and thus amount of edge, can adversely affect nest site selection and reproductive success of a disturbance-dependent bird species, the Indigo Bunting, and provides the first experimental evidence that edges can function as ecological traps.

author keywords: biodiversity; bird; butterfly; conservation; corridors; dispersal; fragmentation; frugivory; landscape experiment; movement; pollination; small mammals
TL;DR: The results show that movements of disparate taxa with broadly different life histories and functional roles are directed by corridors, causing higher movement between connected than between unconnected patches. (via Semantic Scholar)

Predicting which species will benefit from corridors in fragmented landscapes from population growth models

AMERICAN NATURALIST, 161(5), 808–820.

By: B. Hudgens n & N. Haddad*

author keywords: conservation; corridor; model; metapopulation
MeSH headings : Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Emigration and Immigration; Environment; Models, Biological; Time Factors
TL;DR: A model of two logistically growing populations connected by migration in which both emigration and migration success were determined by the presence or absence of a corridor found that in the short run, corridors are most effective for species with fast‐growing populations that have low survivorship when dispersed through unsuitable habitat.

MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Butterflies; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecology; Ecosystem; Environment; Plant Physiological Phenomena; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that corridors not only increase the exchange of animals between patches, but also facilitate two key plant–animal interactions: pollination and seed dispersal, and suggested that increased plant and animal movement through corridors will have positive impacts on plant populations and community interactions in fragmented landscapes.

author keywords: ANPP; community dynamics; disturbance; drought; litter; long-term research; nitrogen; oscillations; primary production; synchronous production
TL;DR: It is shown that a major drought perturbed prairie grassland from nearly constant average annual production, and induced 9 years of oscillations with a 2-year period, showing that a single disturbance may have long-lasting effects on the dynamics of plant production. (via Semantic Scholar)

TL;DR: The negative effects of pubescence on adult oviposition, larval growth rate, and larval survivorship suggest that the population size of P. troilus will reflect availability of nonpubescent hostplants, and may have unintended negative impacts on this butterfly population.
