- W4281707110 abstract "Abstract Context Intensive use of agricultural land often modifies the landscape by dividing continuous natural habitat into smaller and more isolated patches. While it is widely recognized that landscape fragmentation is a main cause of species extinction, less is known about how this impacts the function of organisms that do persist in the modified environment. Understanding these effects is complicated by the fact that fragmentation can affect organisms directly but also indirectly, by altering the patch microclimatic conditions. Objectives We tested the hypothesis that fragmentation-induced microclimate change might be an important mechanism driving changes in animal locomotion in an agricultural landscape. Methods We used satellite image analysis, behavioral assays, and patch analyses, to disentangling the direct and indirect effects of fragmentation on the locomotor behavior of a darkling beetle, Zophosis punctata (Tenebrionidae), in the Southern Judea Lowlands in Israel. Results We found that fragmentation in an agricultural ecosystem may lead to changes in the thermal conditions of natural habitat patches. Importantly, such fragmentation-related increases in patch temperature played an important role in explaining variation in beetle locomotion across an agricultural landscape. Specifically, beetles from highly fragmented landscapes, which included warmer habitat patches, showed high locomotor intermittence –frequent pausing events during locomotion. Conclusions This study shows that the potential consequences of landscape fragmentation on the organism function are likely to be underestimated when fragmentation-related microclimate change is ignored. Intermittent locomotion, as opposite to steady locomotion, may provide various physiological and fitness benefits in fragmented landscapes, like mitigating performance limitations imposed by extreme thermal conditions." @default.
