The Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Chaparral Plants and Vertebrates
Abstract
The effects of fragmentation in a scrub habitat in California on three taxa (plants, birds, and rodents) are concordant. Extinctions within the habitat remnants occur quickly and the sequence of species disappearances of birds and rodents is predictable based on population density in undisturbed habitat. Distance effects on species diversity are weak to non-existent, and habitat area effects are strong. Edge effects and cumulative habitat loss following isolation of the remnants are correlated with loss of species diversity. Recolonization in these taxa occurs rarely. Rodents appear to be extremely susceptible to extinction. Small, old patches retain a predictable subset of bird and rodent species, reinforcing the principle that larger reserves are generally superior

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
