Brendan A. Wintle,Heini Kujala,Amy L. Whitehead,Amy L. Whitehead,Alison Cameron,Sam Veloz,Aija S. Kukkala,Atte Moilanen,Ascelin Gordon,Pia E. Lentini,Natasha C. R. Cadenhead,Sarah A. Bekessy +11 more
TL;DR: A global synthesis of the relationship between the conservation value of habitat patches and their size and isolation, based on 31 systematic conservation planning studies across four continents found that small, isolated patches are inordinately important for biodiversity conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Software, Data and Modelling News: The Movebank data model for animal tracking
Bart Kranstauber,Alison Cameron,R. Weinzerl,Tony Fountain,Sameer Tilak,Martin Wikelski,R. Kays +6 more
