Also, it was realised that habitat fragments are rather like islands.

This is also true for species living within these habitat fragments.

The native bunch grass savanna has been predominantly replaced by annual Mediterranean grasses, except in some rare habitat fragments.

The classical model for a habitat fragment is an island.

In any case, habitat fragments strongly tend to hold at most a single species.

This species has a moderate level of tolerance to human disturbance, and could persist well in habitat fragments and secondary forests, though farmlands are avoided.

The extinction rate slowed, however, as forest regrew in the spaces in between habitat fragments.

The quality of the matrix surrounding a particular habitat fragment often makes a difference on a species' dispersal ability (Davis et al. 2007).

Populations inhabiting small habitat fragments are much more liable to come into conflict with humans.

The remaining habitat fragments are smaller than the original habitat.
