Low reproductive rate predicts species sensitivity to habitat loss: a meta-analysis of wetland vertebrates.

We tested the hypotheses that species with greater mobility and/or higher reproductive rates are less sensitive to habitat loss than species with lower mobility and/or reproductive rates by conducting a meta-analysis of wetland vertebrate responses to wetland habitat loss. We combined data from 90 s...
