Understanding the effects of habitat depletion
Habitat loss is a serious issue for any individual in terms of its ability to survive, forcing it to adapt quickly to a state of greater vulnerability as well as having adverse and unforeseen side-effects on the whole population. Indeed, habitat removal is one of the principal causes of species rari...

Indeed, habitat removal is one of the principal causes of species rarity and endangerment, and thus a major concern in the conservation of wildlife as well as a prime objective in the management of pest species. To tackle this growing and still relatively unexplored field of research, Patrick Doncaster's team is investigating responses by rocky-shore periwinkle snails to the depletion and redistribution of their resources of food and refuge shelter | ||
