Sentence examples for species corridor from inspiring English sources

Species corridor habitat models for five native and one introduced species suggested cover and shelter were more important in determining corridor use than plant species per se.

Limited empirical data have shown that, for some species, corridors can increase gene flow between patches (Mech and Hallett 2001; Sharma et al. 2013).

Since a landscape contains elements that are less permeable to dispersal, species use corridors of habitat suitable to movements that maintain the genetic flow among populations.

Moreover, by accounting for species interactions, corridors designed for entire communities may provide greater benefits to single targeted species.

Native small mammal species recolonised the corridor 1.5 3.5 years after management and the corridor supported a breeding population of small mammals around 2.5 years post-management.

Regardless of the species characteristics, increased corridor width resulted in substantial reductions in genetic differentiation with concomitant increases in overall levels of genetic diversity within patches (Figs 3A and S4).

Throughout Latin America, conservation groups like Panthera are working hard to save the species, creating "jaguar corridors" along which this wide-ranging species may travel in order to mate and find food.

Our results suggest that planting native tree species along river corridors would help prevent invasion risks and contribute to implementing principles of ecological design in urban greenways and generally consider the importance of eradicating wind-dispersed invasive tree species in floodplains in early invasion stages to prevent further water-mediated dispersal.

Thus, our principal objective was to determine which spatial scale has a greater association with the distribution of each bird species using riparian corridors in a landscape mosaic comprised of anthropogenic land uses and undeveloped native shrublands in coastal southern California.

Interestingly, vole K did not always decrease when potential corridors became less elongated (A to B in Fig. 3) as had been predicted on the grounds that voles are short-dispersing species that need corridors to reach good habitat.

For the same percentage of corridor mortality, species with smaller population sizes had larger increases in genetic differentiation than did species with larger population sizes (Fig. 4).
