Explanation / Answer
12. In landscape ecology, matrix type refers to the ecological system or the surrounding environment of the species. Habitat fragmentation refers to habitat loss due to distribution of the habitat into patches and the inclusion of dissimilar habitats. Keeping these in mind, different species show different traits as a response to habitat loss.
For example,
In comparison to the dispersal hypothesis and the habitat compensation hypothesis, the above mentioned hypothesis are better supported by the species traits with landscape matrix response. The habitat compensation hypothesis talks about change in diet guild and nesting behaviour will cannot be supported with the given data, and the dispersal hypothesis cannot be explained with the mentioned traits.
13. From the given study, it can be learned that species conservation cannot be acted upon for all species at the same time with the same approach. Though it is possible for some species with adaptable traits with landscape matrix response to prosper in both forests and human-dominated environments, most species (canopy foragers, canopy nesting species, insectivores, etc) suffer due to a loss of their primary habitat. Conservation measures are further restricted by the lack of resources and the patches of primary habitat left.
