Multiple scales of patchiness and patch structure: a hierarchical framework for the study of heterogeneity Multiple scales of patchiness and patch structure: a hierarchical framework for the study of heterogeneity
We develop a hierarchical model of heterogeneity that provides a framework for classifying patch structure across a range of scales. Patches at lower levels in the hierarchy are more simplistic and correspond to the traditional view of patches. At levels approaching the upper bounds of the hierarchy the internal structure becomes more heterogeneous and boundaries more ambiguous. At each...

Colony site selection and abandonment by least terns Sterna antillarum in New Jersey, USA Colony site selection and abandonment by least terns Sterna antillarum in New Jersey, USA
To develop habitat and management procedures to protect declining populations of least terns, colony site selection and abandonment by this species was investigated at 26 sites in New Jersey. Multivariate analysis was used to compare (1) colony sites to adjacent unused areas, (2) those located on beaches to dredge spoil sites and (3) abandoned to occupied colony sites. The presence of...
