Three type of plots
a. Remnant/Undisturbed Forest (100 x 100 m)
b. Light Damage Forest (Low Disturbance) (60 x 60 m)
c. Heavy Damage Forest (Heavy Disturbance) (100 x 100 m)

Summary

Individu

• Remnant forest have important role as habitat
• Remnant forest as species source
– Enhance restoration (seed source)

distance from edge (m)

Callosciurus notatus

• Research Question ?

– How long they can survive ?

• How long isolation effect take place ?

Individu

– How do we manage the remnant ?
Tupaia glis
distance from edge (m)

• How large to ensure species ?
• What species should be pay more attention ?

EDGE SPECIES

Professor Ilkka Hanski
 impact of habitat fragmentation on the ecology, genetics
and evolution of species.
 From landscapes to molecules,
 Mathematical models of populations and their interaction
with the environment
