Wetlands have been generally considered ecotonal communities.
This species is not confined to the shallow parts of the ecotonal zone.
Ecotonal areas are the transition zones between ecological systems where native plant diversity is often greatest.
Carbon-13 conundrums: limitations and cautions in the use of stable isotope analysis in stream ecotonal research.
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic evidence for ecotonal coupling between boreal forests and fishes.
Stable nitrogen isotopes in fish: literature synthesis on the influence of ecotonal coupling.
Outside cultivated land it prefers marginal zones of forests, particularly ecotonal grass and scrub vegetation.
Because of this ecotonal mixing, the number of plant species found in mixed-grass prairies exceeds that in other prairie types.
