Species traits, patch turnover and successional dynamics: when does intermediate disturbance favour metapopulation occupancy?
Abstract Background In fragmented landscapes, natural and anthropogenic disturbances coupled with successional processes result in the destruction and creation of habitat patches. Disturbances are expected to reduce metapopulation occupancy for species associated with stable habitats, but they may b...
