Predicting species' responses to habitat loss and fragmentation is one of the greatest challenges fac- ing conservation biologists, particularly if extinction is a threshold phenomenon. Extinction thresholds are abrupt declines in the patch occupancy of a metapopulation across a narrow range of habitat loss. Metapop- ulation-type models have been used to predict extinction thresholds for endangered populations. These models often make simplifying assumptions about the distribution of habitat… CONTINUE READING
