0 sources for · 2 against

Evidence in avian ecology generally points to a positive association between habitat quality and reproductive success (higher success in better habitats or heterogeneous landscapes), directly contradicting the claim of a negative association.

Evidence against · 2
Landscape homogenization due to agricultural intensification disrupts the relationship between reproductive success and main prey abundance in an avian predator
2019 · cited by 40
Discusses how landscape heterogeneity and agricultural intensification disrupt expected positive effects, but generally shows positive relationships between habitat quality/heterogeneity and reproduct
