Influential factors affecting inherent deformation during plate forming by line hating (Report 1) - the effect of plate size and edge effect
(2007-09)
The authors aim to propose an accurate and practical method to predict the deformation of actual plates of large size such as those used in shipbuilding. This method is to be used to improve the accuracy of an automatic ...
Edge effects as the principal cause of area effects on birds in fragmented secondary forest
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)
Bird communities in tropical forests are strongly affected by both patch area and habitat edges. The fact that both effects are intrinsically confounded in space raises questions about how these two widely reported ecological ...
Arthropods on plants in a fragmented Neotropical dry forest: a functional analysis of habitat loss and edge effects
(Wiley, 2014-03)
Loss and fragmentation of natural ecosystems are widely recognized as the most important threats to biodiversity conservation, with Neotropical dry forests among the most endangered ecosystems. Area and edge effects are ...
Edge-interior differences in the species richness and abundance of drosophilids in a semideciduous forest fragment
(2013-04-29)
Habitat fragmentation is the main cause of biodiversity loss, as remnant fragments are exposed to negative influences that include edge effects, prevention of migration, declines in effective population sizes, loss of ...

(2013-04-29)
Habitat fragmentation is the main cause of biodiversity loss, as remnant fragments are exposed to negative influences that include edge effects, prevention of migration, declines in effective population sizes, loss of ...
Quantifying edge effects: the role of habitat contrast and species specialization
(Springer, 2013-02)
Edge effect is a key process influencing populations and communities, particularly in tropical and subtropical fragmented forests. A general analytical framework has been proposed to quantify the strength of the edge effects ...
The effectiveness of Eucalyptus barrier in containing the edge effect on a subtropical forest fragment in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil
(IPEF-INST PESQUISAS ESTUDOS FLORESTAIS, 2010)
Edge effects resulting from isolation and subsequent microclimatic changes are one of the most important threats to the forest fragments conservation. The efficiency of maintaining a barrier formed by three rows of Eucalyptus ...
Edge effects and their influence on habitat suitability calculations: a continuous approach applied to birds of the Atlantic forest
(British Ecological Society, 2012-01-18)
1. The suitability of human-modified habitats for native species and the response of species to habitat edges are two important ecological processes that affect species and communities in fragmented landscapes. However, ...
Bifurcation effects on the plasma edge of tokamaks with ergodic limiter.
(European Physical SocietyEspoo, 2013-07-01)
In the present paper, we solve a twist symplectic map for the action of an ergodic magnetic limiter in a large aspect-ratio tokamak. In this model, we study the bifurcation scenarios that occur in the remnants regular ...
Edge type defines alien plant species invasions along Pinus contorta burned, highway and clearcut forest edges
(ELSEVIER, 2006-03-01)
Forest edges have been long recognized as the first landscape elements to be invaded by alien plant species in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about the role of forest edge type in invasive species patterns. ...
