[edit] Cause of extinction
Fahrig has said that she has been unable to find any fragmentation effect on extinction risk, independent of the habitat loss issue. So I think it's a bit strong to say that habitat fragmentation is a cause of extinction...it still seems likely, but there isn't enough evidence to say this conclusively.

[edit] {{fact}} tag on sentence
"Additionally, unoccupied fragments of habitat that are separated from a source of colonists by some barrier are less likely to be repopulated than adjoining fragments. " That sentence seemed a proper synthesis from the previous ones to me, so I removed the {{fact}} tag from it. I'm not a zoologist though, so I might be wrong. Am I correct or not in assuming synthesis? —CrazytalesPublic talk/main/desk 12:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
