Forest specialist and generalist small mammals in forest edges and hedges

摘要: Agricultural intensification often leads to fragmentation of natural habitats, such as forests, and thereby negatively affects forest specialist species. However, human introduced hedges, may counteract negative effects increase dispersal, particularly specialists. We studied habitat type (forest edge versus hedge) hedge isolation from forests (connected isolated in agricultural landscapes on abundance, species richness community composition mice, voles shrews edges hedges. Simultaneously these edge/hedge we analysed impacts structure, namely percentage bare ground width, small mammals. Total abundance (both driven by the most abundant Myodes glareolus, bank vole) were higher than while had no ef...
