Edge effects in fragmented forests: implications for conservation.

The forest fragmented and the lycopsids which dominated these wetlands thinned out, being replaced by opportunistic ferns.

However, it is able to survive in damaged or fragmented forests, which currently comprise a large portion of its range.

In the more fragmented forests of their range, the indri may live in larger groups with several generations.

The species occurs in a number of protected areas throughout its range, including some fragmented forests.

Some disturbances studied have been commercial logging, degraded agricultural lands, and fragmented forest.

This trend is also observed in fragmented forests where nesting and foraging areas become widely spaced.

Many of the fragmented forests of southern Canada and the United States lack adequate animal travel corridors and functioning ecosystems for large mammals.

No relationship was found between the fragmented forest and predation.

Forest corridors to connect fragmented forests have been proposed as an effective means to help ensure the survival of the titi monkey.
