Niall H. K. Burton, Auteur ; Mark M. Rehfisch, Auteur ; Nigel A. Clark, Auteur ; Stephen G. Dodd, Auteur1. Recent theoretical modelling has provided important insights into how habitat loss may affect local populations through impacts on individual fitness (survival, body condition, fecundity). Despite this, attempts to provide empirical evidence [...]
