11 Metapopulation theory

12 Fragmentation = Ecological degradation and vulnerability

13 In the modern landscape, human activities are the most prevalent cause of fragmentation/edge- but, natural disturbances also create edge. Patchiness can be ecologically beneficial. Patchiness vs. Fragmentation- - > What is the landscape context?? >Habitat Mosaic

14 These critters like patches
