Abstract:Edge effects result from the penetration to varying depths and intensities, of abiotic and biotic conditions from the surrounding non‐forest matrix into the forest interior. Although 70% of the world's forests are within 1 km of a forest edge, making edge effects a dominant feature of most forest habitats, there are few empirical data on inter‐site differences in edge responses in primates. We used spatially explicit capture‐recapture (SECR) models to determine spatial patterns of density for two species of mo… Show more
