摘要: Improving biodiversity conservation in fragmented agricultural landscapes has become an important global issue. Vegetation at the patch and landscape-scale is for species occupancy diversity, yet few previous studies have explored multi-scale associations between vegetation community assemblages. Here, we investigated how cover structure woodland bird communities. We asked: (1) How associated with of patches amount surrounding landscape? (2) Do concern respond to differently other community? And (3) Can relationships be explained by ecological traits comprising studied 103 (0.5 - 53.8 ha) over two time periods across a large (6,800 km2) region southeastern Australia. found that both woody were structuring community, these consistent time. In particular, occurrence mistletoe within high values 1,000 ha 10,000 important, especially concern. majority displayed similar, positive responses landscape attributes. also related foraging nesting community. Our findings suggest management strategies increase remnant quality may lead improved
