study fragmentation of habitat and loss of biodiversity from four starting points
starting point 1: correlation
correlation between size of area and species numbers
equation is
data analysis -
log - log transformation
suggests scale independent processes
change in diversity is a function of change in relative size
from any size to any other smaller size
starting point 2: systems
use systems viewer
island biogeography
immigration vs. extinction
steady state solutions
use network viewer
focus on connectivity
percolation of disrupted links or cells in a CA
critical value
difference between the prediction from systems view to critical percolation value (Goodwin and Sole' ****)
human disruptions, from energy, put novel gaps in the scale
lumpiness in scale dependence
leads to loss of species at edge of lumps
open to invasion
