👉 Edges studies typically inhabit environments characterized by high variability and complexity, such as urban areas, natural landscapes with diverse microhabitats, or ecological gradients. These settings feature distinct boundaries (edges) between different habitats, where species interactions and environmental conditions change abruptly. For example, forest edges, riverbanks, or coastal zones often exhibit unique species assemblages due to the mixing of adjacent ecosystems. These environments are critical for studying ecological dynamics, biodiversity patterns, and species adaptation to heterogeneous landscapes.
