Un corridor écologique peut être constitué aussi d'une série d'espaces terrestres discontinus qui servent de sites de halte pour les espèces qui effectuent des migrations aériennes, comme les papillons monarques ou les bécasseaux maubèches (Calidris canutus), ces derniers migrant entre les hémisphères nord et sud. Toutefois, ces corridors discontinus ne sont efficaces que s'ils sont harmonisés avec les voies migratoires afin d'en assurer la connectivité.  3, record 2, French, - corridor%20%C3%A9cologique%20discontinu

Important bird areas(IBAs) are discrete sites that support specific groups of birds : threatened birds, large groups of birds, and birds restricted by range or by habitat. IBAs range in size from very tiny patches of habitat to large tracts of land or water. They may encompass private or public land, and they may or may not overlap partially or entirely with legally protected sites.  1, record 3, English, - important%20bird%20area

Les zones importantes pour la conservation des oiseaux (ZICO) sont des sites qui abritent des groupes d'oiseaux bien précis : espèces menacées, vaste population d'oiseaux ou espèces ayant une aire de répartition réduite. De tailles variées, les ZICO peuvent couvrir de minuscules parcelles de territoire comme de vastes étendues de terre, des rivières et des plans d'eau. Elles peuvent être constituées de terres publiques ou privées et peuvent chevaucher en tout ou en partie des aires protégées.  1, record 3, French, - zone%20importante%20pour%20la%20conservation%20des%20oiseaux

Connectivity conservation is a community-led approach to conservation that brings people together to reverse the impacts of habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation by reconnecting our natural world. Research clearly shows that the conventional approach of prioritising the conservation of isolated patches of habitat in national parks is insufficient by itself to ensure the long-term survival and adaptability of our wildlife and the resilience and integrity of our ecosystems – connectivity(the degree to which landscapes and seascapes allow species to move freely and ecological processes to function unimpeded) is crucial for our survival.  2, record 4, English, - connectivity%20conservation

Lorsqu'un habitat est morcelé en de petits «îlots» séparés les uns des autres, nous sommes en présence d'un phénomène appelé «fragmentation de l'habitat». [...] Ce morcellement représente un obstacle à la survie des espèces qui dépendent d'un type d'habitat particulier, parce qu'elles y sont confinées et qu'elles ne peuvent pas survivre ailleurs.  4, record 5, French, - fragmentation%20d%27habitat

A taxon can be considered to be severely fragmented if most(>50%) of its total area of occupancy is in habitat patches that are(1) smaller than would be required to support a viable population, and(2) separated from other habitat patches by a large distance. Fragmentation must be assessed at a scale that is appropriate to biological isolation in the taxon under consideration...  1, record 6, English, - severely%20fragmented

Un taxon peut être considéré comme étant gravement fragmenté si la majorité, soit plus de 50 %, de son aire d'occupation totale se situe dans des parcelles d'habitat qui sont (1) plus petites que la superficie nécessaire au maintien d'une population viable et (2) séparées d'autres parcelles d'habitat par de vastes distances.

The smallest landscape unit in the ecological holarchy ... of concrete systems is the ecotope, while the largest system is the ecosphere that embraces all biological and technological ecosystems. Therefore, the environment which learners of EE course directly observe is usually an ecotope which is the smallest holistic land unit. ... According to Naveh ..., an important thing is that the ecotope has two extreme types: one is the "biotope" (a term redefined by me for this context) or ecotope of bioecosystem that is maintained by the input of solar energy, natural biotic and abiotic resource materials; and the other is the "technotope" (a term proposed by me) or ecotope of technoecosystem that is constructed and maintained by man’s input of energy and material and is regulated by man.  2, record 7, English, - ecotope
