Understanding the influence of large and small-scale heterogeneity on species distribution
and abundance is one of the major foci of landscape ecology research in fragmented …

I challenge (1) the assumption that habitat patches are natural units of measurement for
species richness, and (2) the assumption of distinct effects of habitat patch size and isolation …

Simple Summary Mediated through functional and numerical responses, the community
structure and diversity of small mammal communities over the long term may show the …

Hydropower projects are rapidly expanding across lowland Amazonia, driving the
conversion of large tracts of once-continuous forests into archipelagos embedded within a …

Abstract The Ramsar Convention places central emphasis on the protection, restoration, and
utilization of wetlands. Wetland species and their habitat protection is an important …

In the deep ocean symbioses between microbes and invertebrates are emerging as key
drivers of ecosystem health and services. We present a large-scale analysis of microbial …

Anthropogenic habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation often co-occur in a landscape
and their relative influence on a native animals' health and survival can be difficult to …

Fragment size, isolation, and matrix properties have received considerable attention as
predictors of species richness, abundance, and composition in habitat patches. However …

Although the vertebrate stress response is essential for survival, frequent or prolonged
stress responses can result in chronic physiological stress, which is associated with a suite …

We tested the hypotheses that species with greater mobility and/or higher reproductive rates
are less sensitive to habitat loss than species with lower mobility and/or reproductive rates …
