Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interior species are more likely to occur with increasing forest area in a patch because they require large, undisturbed areas of forest interior for habitat and are sensitive to edge effects. As the forest area increases, the percentage of interior habitat within the patch also increases, making it more suitable for interior species. Edge species and boundary species are more likely to occur in smaller forest patches that are closer to human development or agricultural land, while area-insensitive species are not affected by the size of the forest patch.
