Multiple Choice

Which statement about the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) is true?

• A) It has shown that edge effects do not have a large impact on species diversity within fragments.
• B) It is a controlled experiment that probably provides a conservative estimate of species losses.
• C) It has shown that most of the forest fragments created by human activities are large enough to maintain most of their original species diversity.
