Pollination is the primary step in seed formation. Pollination biologists have shown that
pollination failure can occur at all steps in the dispersal process and at several different …

The ecological significance of spacing among plants in contributing to the maintenance of
species richness, particularly in tropical forests, has received considerable attention that has …

Connectivity is a fundamental concept that is widely utilized in spatial ecology. The majority
of connectivity measures used in the recent ecological literature only consider the nearest …

Understanding the processes that lead to species extinctions is vital for lessening pressures
on biodiversity. While species diversity, presence and abundance are most commonly used …

Fragmentation of natural vegetation is one of the most pervasive changes in terrestrial
ecosystems across the Earth. Developing a general understanding of how fragmentation …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the most ubiquitous and serious environmental threats
confronting the long-term survival of plant and animal species worldwide. As species …

We summarize the problems that populations of formerly common plants may encounter
when habitat fragmentation isolates them and reduces population size. Genetic erosion …

During the past centuries human-induced land use changes resulted in a considerable loss
of natural habitats worldwide. In transformed landscapes historical burial places such as …

Arnica montana is a rare and rapidly declining, self‐incompatible plant species. In 26
populations in The Netherlands we investigated the relationship between population size …

This paper explores whether plant breeding system and pollination specialization influence
the reproductive response of plants to habitat fragmentation. It is meaningful for conservation …
