Wish I could always find links to the complete articles but it isn't easy.

I didn't even know exactly what habitat fragmentation was. When I finished reading the article you linked to... I was like... that would be a relatively simple fix compared to some of the other things we have to do to help keep species from becoming to close too extinction for comfort. In fact considering it is a dwarf (don't know this exact species) but just seeing it's first scientific genus, I would automatically assume these guys are relatively small. 5 inches at most? more like 3-4? Less? They probably won't need even large plants, just enough to offer cover and a safe resting spot.

I hear you and no worries. This was a good abstract. I have got access to a couple libraries and I should locate this article without any problems the next time I visit.

Fragmentation of habitat is affecting lot of species sadly. I've been annoyed with it for years.

It seems like it would be a rather easy fix though? Considering the steps we have taken, and failed in a lot of ways with deforestation
