To measure and control for landscape similarity between all sites, we quantified landscape fragmentation characteristics, such as edge density and number of isolated fragments.
Shirley Klinghoffer's body castings are isolated fragments of unidentified figures, out of context yet assertively human nonetheless.
Jeffrey Milarsky conducted a vigorous reading of the work, in which jittery outbursts and isolated fragments from the three duos intertwine like overlapping conversations about different subjects.
Tests conducted by HP Environmental, MVA Inc. and other commercial laboratories have isolated fragments of ceiling tile, carpet fibers, paper, hair and concrete pounded so fine that embedded crystals, formed when it hardened, came unglued.
Today only about 1.2 million ha remain, much in isolated fragments.
For small and medium-sized categories, we considered isolated fragments and fragments connected by corridors to larger remnants.
Large and less isolated habitat fragments containing a larger amount of the tree Daphniphyllum macropodum were occupied significantly more often than small, isolated fragments.
In the study of fossil mammals, teeth are often more diagnostic than isolated fragments of vertebrae, ribs, or limb bones teeth can tell you a lot about what a fossil mammal was and what it was related to.
Smaller and isolated fragments presented lower number of species, but fragments with lower tree species richness and lower proportion of shade-tolerant species were also considerably impoverished in terms of dung beetle species richness.
In this way, the description of individual lexicogrammatical items are meaningfully related to their systemic environment rather than been presented as isolated fragments or, to use Weinreich's (1966: 144) term, in order to avoid reducing description to the 'atomization' of linguistic items in want of explanation.
The time lag between the isolation of a habitat patch and the new equilibrium in the number or occurrence of species seems to be around 100 150 years, indicating that an extinction debt is likely to exist in recently isolated fragments.
