Primes

• Percolation
  • Ecology. Habitat connectivity under fragmentation, and the critical fraction of preserved habitat below which a species loses continental movement corridors.

    This sourceApplies percolation theory to landscapes, identifying a critical habitat fraction below which connectivity (movement corridors) collapses.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract backs the frame - percolation theory applied to landscapes, with patch number, size and shape varying with the habitat fraction p - but states nothing about connectivity, fragmentation or species movement corridors.

    “We used methods derived from percolation theory to construct neutral landscape models, i.e. , models lacking effects due to topography, contagion, disturbance history, and related ecological processes. ... The analysis shows that number, size, and shape of patches changes as a function of p, the fraction of the landscape occupied by the habitat type of interest, and m, the linear dimension of the map.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
