Support for the habitat amount hypothesis from a global synthesis of species density studies.
Ecology Letters, 2020 Decades of research suggest that species richness depends on spatial characteristics of habitat patches, especially their size and isolation. In contrast, the habitat amount hypothesis predicts that (1) species richness in plots of fixed size (species ...

Specialized face perception mechanisms extract both part and spacing information: evidence from developmental prosopagnosia [PDF]
, 2006 It is well established that faces are processed by mechanisms that are not used with other objects. Two prominent hypotheses have been proposed to characterize how information is represented by these special mechanisms.
