| patchiness of forest landscape can predict species distribution better than abundance: the case of a forest-dwelling passerine, the short-toed treecreeper, in central italy. | environmental heterogeneity affects not only the distribution of a species but also its local abundance. high heterogeneity due to habitat alteration and fragmentation can influence the realized niche of a species, lowering habitat suitability as well as reducing local abundance. we investigate whether a relationship exists between habitat suitability and abundance and whether both are affected by fragmentation. our aim was to assess the predictive power of such a relationship to derive advice f ... | 2016 | 27651990 |
| a multiscale method for selecting indicator species and priority conservation areas: a case study for broadleaved forests in lombardy, italy. | our purpose was to define a quantitative and expeditious method to analyze the effects of processes that influence species distribution and abundance at different organizational scales. we considered habitat loss, the breaking apart of habitat patches, and habitat structural alteration critical processes that affect species distribution and abundance. we evaluated the effects of these processes by considering the response of selected indicator species to isolation (landscape scale), patch size a ... | 2006 | 16903112 |

| multiple fragmented habitat-patch use in an urban breeding passerine, the short-toed treecreeper. | individual responses of wild birds to fragmented habitat have rarely been studied, despite large-scale habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss resulting from widespread urbanisation. we investigated the spatial ecology of the short-toed treecreeper certhia brachydactyla, a tiny, resident, woodland passerine that has recently colonised city parks at the northern extent of its range. high resolution spatiotemporal movements of this obligate tree-living species were determined using radio telem ... | 2020 | 31935239 |
