RE: Pathological Aspect Of Extinction #3; Factors That Influence The Rate Of Extinction ( Part 1)
Great post, @chloroform! I'm glad to see that you are posting about conservation biology; it's such an important topic! Ecological hotspots are really important, and it sucks that we are so bad at taking care of them.
Anyway, I kept thinking about how you should mention how habitat fragmentation ties in to a lot of this, but I guess you have it planned for another post?
Best regards from @valth
I wasn't planning to explain about habitat fragmentation at first, but now you make curious. Thank you for the suggestion.
Oh, you're welcome. Habitat fragmentation is often almost as damaging to many species as the directly lost habitat destruction. Here in Norway we have seen that both large carnivores such as bears and wolves, as well as reindeer have been having population declines as a direct result of habitat fragmentation.
