Abstract Purpose of the Review The importance of habitat fragmentation in driving
biodiversity loss has been recently debated. While the negative effects of habitat loss are …

Seminal ecological theories, island biogeography and the single large or several small
(SLOSS) reserve debate, examine whether large contiguous habitats conserve biodiversity …

Biogenic reefs created by Modiolus modiolus (Linnaeus, 1758)(horse mussel reefs) are
marine habitats which support high levels of species biodiversity and provide valuable …

Animal personality has been widely documented across a range of species. The concept of
personality is composed of individual behavioural consistency across time and between …

Estuary food webs support many fishes whose habitat preferences and population dynamics
may be controlled by prey abundance and distribution. Yet the identity and dynamics of …

Seagrass, an important subtidal marine ecosystem, is being lost at a rate of 110 km 2 year−
1, leading to fragmented seagrass seascapes. Habitat fragmentation is predicted to affect …

Background The invasion of non-native species into ecosystems is a growing human-
induced problem. To control their spread and population growth, knowledge is needed on …

Spatial patterns, at multiple scales, can influence the functioning of local communities, but
studies of community interactions are often conducted at a local scale. To investigate how …

Variation in abundance and diversity of organisms along habitat edges has long been a key
research focus in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Previous investigations into edge …

An organism's habitat preference may shift to one of greater structural complexity to
maximize protection from predatory attack. In south-eastern Australian coastal seascape …
