fragmentation effect

Another great threat to biodiversity is the fragmentation effect.

Landscape context and fragmentation effects on forest birds in southern Ontario.

He knew this would increase the warhead's fragmentation effect ten-fold.

Habitat fragmentation effects on birds in southern California: contrast to the "top down" paradigm.

Analysis of predation data examining landscape scale fragmentation effects has not yet been completed.

This may make them more susceptible to fragmentation effects, such as lower immigration rates and higher extinction rates.

Comparative evaluation of experimental approaches to the study of habitat fragmentation effects.

Progress in 2005-2006 included the development of a road density index for measuring the fragmentation effect of the highways.

Injury from thermal effects follows the blast and fragmentation effects which happen almost instantaneously.

Schardin also spent time researching a "trench mine" that used a directional fragmentation effect.

Moderate fragmentation effects likely reflect the permeability of the dam-lock system to redhorse movement.

Observations of edge effects on habitats are also important, if not integral, to the study of fragmentation effects.

The crude fragmentation jacket produces an uneven fragmentation effect.

An internally square cross-sectioned steel wire is coiled around the outside of the mine, which give a fragmentation effect.

The charges had no fragmentation effect, of course: the explosive's violence would rupture any casing into its constituent atoms.

In these conditions the electrical grenades' fragmentation effect made them both more dangerous to friendlies and less useful against hostiles.

Fragmentation effects on forest birds: relative influence of woodland cover configuration on landscape occupancy.

However, this can be challenging because of ion suppression, poor ionization, and low molecular weight matrix fragmentation effects.

Electrical grenades had very little fragmentation effect, but their sudden energy release was both physically and mentally shattering for anybody close to the blast.

Children amplify this fragmentation effect.

(ii) Munitions designed to combine penetration, blast or fragmentation effects with an additional incendiary effect.

At a given percolation threshold, habitat fragmentation effects take place in these configuration predicting more drastic extinction thresholds.

To increase the fragmentation effect, the RDX had been studded with small pieces of hardened steel rod.

Many studies have been conducted about the fragmentation effects on vertebrates and invertebrates, including amphibians, insects, mammals and birds.

Furthermore, given that there will almost certainly be significant periods of low or no traffic after dark, an increased fragmentation effect beyond that already present is unlikely.
