Ovaskainen, 2000), establishment (Bowman, Cappuccino & Fahrig, 2002), habitat selection (Fletcher & Hutto, 2008), animal predation of pollinators (Batary & Baldi, 2004), resource quality (Burke & Nol, 1998), and interspecific competition. Edge effects in plant and animal communities are common but may be positive (Chen et al., 1992) or negative (Bruna 2002) and affect distributions, abundance (Bolger et al., 2000), growth (McDonald and Urban, 2004), and reproduction (Burgess et al., 2006).

Western Power in the Modern World, the author argues that European political fragmentation created hothouse conditions for innovation and almost constant warfare. Professor Daly’s argument is accurate for many reasons. The decentralized government of Europe had led to innovation and constant warfare which developed into “the world’s first arms race – one that never ended (Daly 94)”. I firmly believe that the political fragmentation of Europe was caused by political institutions and revolutions;…

cites is the fact that party multipolarity makes it difficult to dismiss a judge or provide a check on independent courts. The insider-led constitutional process resulted in many judges from the Suharto era retaining their positions, and party fragmentation has stymied efforts to combat judiciary corruption.

Like many municipalities across the America at the time, Michigan municipalities prefered to be independent in their political and economic affairs. This type of political fragmentation meant that some municipalities…

Early Intensive Stocking management practices pose a serious threat to biodiversity in the Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie region. Annual spring burning coupled with intensive cattle stocking following the fire. This practice has been estimated to be roughly twice the stocking rate as the area can provide. In which ungulates are grazed for 90-120 days into late summer or early fall (Robbins, et al 239 ). The combination of fire and intense grazing has been demonstrated to have negative impacts on…

sub-disciplines of the field. Some universities’ curricula have been designed to unify the diverse sub-disciplines through the curriculum core. The author claims that such programs prevent fragmentation. However, immediately after making the statement, the author indicates that specialization and fragmentation are not…

looking at to devise this study. The first of the three that this question will look at also happens to be theory that I got the most mileage out of this semester wasMichael Calvin McGee’s theory of fragmentsin the article, Text, Context, And The Fragmentation Of Contemporary Culture (1990). The second rhetorical theory that this response will look at comes from Michael Leff’s analysis of text in the article Words the Most Like Things: Iconicity and the Rhetorical Text (1990), which discusses…

Habitat fragmentation has become an increasing issue. Island biogeography has helped with understanding what fragmentation can do and has helped with developments in several areas such as landscape ecology in North America (Wu and Vankat 1995). However, Kent (2007) explains the relationship between landscape ecology…
