Using binary and probabilistic habitat availability indices derived from graph theory to model bird occurrence in fragmented forests
(Springer, 2012-02-01)Loss of connectivity is one of the main causes of decreases in habitat availability and, thus, in species abundance and occurrence in fragmented landscapes. It is therefore important to measure habitat connectivity for ...
