Habitat loss is a primary driver of species population declines (Brown & Paxton, 2009;Schmiegelow & Mönkkönen, 2002;Stuart et al., 2004), and many conservation efforts are focused on the identification, restoration, and protection of important habitats or landscape features to combat the impacts of these losses. Despite these efforts, landscapes continue to change, and important wildlife habitats continue to be lost. Not only has space become a limiting factor for some species' survival, but resources for efforts to conserve the habitats that remain are also limited. To use these resources effectively, it is imperative to know which locations or features are most important for maintaining species' populations. This approach can be seen in attempts to conserve areas based on the number of endemic species (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
