Abstract

As an example of the high-resolution, taxon-specific, spatially explicit variable approach we have suggested, we compare the explanatory power of four commonly used landscape metrics with a set of more taxon-specific covariates in describing local- and patch scale habitat relationships of seven species of breeding birds, all of which also were studied either by Lichstein et al. (2002a, b), Betts et al. (2006), and/or Howell et al. (2008).
