Estimating landscape resistance to movement: a review
TLDR
A comprehensive review of the literature on resistance surfaces found a general lack of justification for choice of environmental variables and their thematic and spatial representation, a heavy reliance on expert opinion and detection data, and a tendency to confound movement behavior and resource use.

Relationships Between Landscape Structure and Breeding Birds in the Oregon Coast Range
TLDR
This work investigated the relationship between landscape structure and breeding bird abundance in the central Oregon Coast Range and found that species' abundances were generally greater in the more heterogenous landscapes; that is, they were associated with the more fragmented distribution of habitat.

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF HABITAT FRAGMENTATION EFFECTS
TLDR
It is evident that most manipulative and mensurative fragmentation experiments have not provided clear insights into the ecological mechanisms and effects of habitat fragmentation, and recommendations for improving the design and implementation of fragmentation experiments are concluded.

Behavior of class-level landscape metrics across gradients of class aggregation and area
TLDR
Comprehensive characterization of landscapes undergoing habitat loss and fragmentation will require using several metrics distributed across behavioral groups, and metrics strongly related to aggregation, independent of class area, are particularly useful in assessing effects of fragmentation.

Surface metrics: an alternative to patch metrics for the quantification of landscape structure
TLDR
It is argued that the surface properties identified are nearly universal and have potential to offer new insights into landscape pattern–process relationships.

Hierarchical, Multi-scale decomposition of species-environment relationships
TLDR
An adaptation of existing variance partitioning methods toompose species-environment relationships in hierarchically-structured, multi-scaled data sets and allows comprehensive analysis of the interaction of factors across scales and facilitates ecological interpretation in theoretical terms is presented.

A Resistant‐Kernel Model of Connectivity for Amphibians that Breed in Vernal Pools
TLDR
A model of connectivity among vernal pools for the four ambystomatid salamanders that occur in Massachusetts was developed and applied to the nearly 30,000 potential ephemeral wetlands across the state and found estimates of pool connectivity were relatively insensitive to uncertainty in parameter estimates, especially at the local and neighborhood scales.
