Finally out! We examined whether mouse #lemur species exhibit varying density responses to #edge #effects across fragmented landscapes. Our results demonstrate that differences in density patterns can be attributed to species-specific traits and the scale of analysis.
Do #edge #effects vary in closely related mouse #lemur species? This is the question @91Fernandom3 and the Lehman Lab from @utoronto asked in the 10th paper from @AMelinLab and my special issue of @AmJournalPrimat on #primatology in #Canada. doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23621

We weren’t expecting much from the #UpperSmoky draft and Gov of Alberta still disappointed us deeply.
This plan was supposed to be about #caribou recovery and it turned out to be a plan for extinction
Two at-risk caribou herds could be lost forever under the #Alberta government's new draft plan for the Upper Smoky area. If approved a U.S. company can log their winter ranges, which could lead to their extinction.

In this article, Tonos et al share that though #lemurs are under substantial #extinction threat, data gaps prevent assessment of the impact of #lemur loss on plant communities.🐒🌿 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14323

Is fragmentation bad or good for biodiversity? Yes!
We use a classical competition-colonization metacommunity model to show that fragmentation can increase or decrease diversity depending on the total amount of habitat in the landscape. @idiv @UniHalle
