The first photographs of the Earth to be taken from outer space are said to have had a profound influence on how humanity perceives its place in the Universe. They provided a …
Temporal dynamics of insect communities in terrestrial habitat fragments have been rarely studied. Here it was tested whether immigration, extinction, and turnover of butterfly species …

Equilibrium models are increasingly employed in applied ecology, but often because of experimental logistics, only short‐term laboratory experiments are performed. Here, we use …

Abstract Aim MacArthur and Wilson's theory of island biogeography proposes that the rate at which species colonize an island depends on the island's isolation (distance effect) …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the major causes of local and regional species extinctions in freshwater ecosystems. To predict future trends in community composition, and the potential …
Sessile macroepifauna was sampled at six rocky sites between 2 and 90 m depth with a number of different methods involving both underwater photography and collection of …
In this paper we tested the assumption that smaller and more isolated remnants receive fewer ant colonizers and lose more species. We also tested hypotheses to explain such a …
Do communities return to their former state when we disturb them? The answer is “surely not always,” since some disturbances may be so devastating that recovery will be impossible. If …
Habitat fragmentation is one of the most important threats to biodiversity. Decreasing patch size may lead to a reduction in the size of populations and to an increased extinction risk of …
