This may be particularly true for low-vagility organisms, and for those with more specific habitat requirements.
Many endangered species in southern California are declining because of habitat loss, and many of these species also have low dispersal abilities along with more specific habitat requirements (e.g. light-footed clapper rail, Rallus longirostris obsoletus; Belding's savannah sparrow, Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi; red-legged frog, Rana draytonii; least bell's vireo, Vireo bellii pusillus).
The global marginality and tolerance indices were 1.754 and 0.289, respectively, indicating that this species had even more specific habitat requirements than the molecular forms of An. gambiae in Cameroon.
However, considering more specific functions, some habitat-specific findings differ.
Although we are aware that the lack of correlation and the high number of transformations may be a consequence of the small number of categories (open and forest), there is not enough data available to be more specific about the habitat that these species use.
The connectivity among habitats is often more vulnerable than the specific habitats themselves under anthropogenic influences.
For example (given in the Electronic Supplementary Material 1), I ask the groups to first decide upon more specific details of the habitat their organism is found in, and then, having generated a number of morphological characteristics that may be suitable to that habitat, to pick one of these for their group.
These results suggest that wildlife habitat quality and communities are not impaired in AOC wetlands yet it would be beneficial for additional key fish and wildlife assemblages and habitat types to be surveyed, multi-year monitoring of key biotic indicators implemented, and more specific redesignation criteria for wetland habitat and matrix landscape composition defined and met.
Yet some species groups might be more dependent on specific habitat features than on forest management per se.
