Corridor Length and Patch Colonization by a Butterfly Junonia coenia

Journal Article · · Conservation Biology
OSTI ID:784139

Habitat corridors have been proposed to reduce patch isolation and increase population persistence in fragmented landscapes. This study tested whether patch colonization was increased by the presence and various length corridors. The specific butterfly species tested has been shown to use corridors, however, the results indicate that neither the distance between patches or the presence of a corridor influenced colonization.
