Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes.
Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the
Anthropocene,, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central …

Land‐use change modifies the spatial structure of terrestrial landscapes, potentially shaping
the distribution, abundance and diversity of remaining species assemblages. Non‐human …

Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …

Land-use and climate change are among the greatest threats facing biodiversity, but
understanding their combined effects has been hampered by modelling and data limitations …

Forest edges influence more than half of the world's forests and contribute to worldwide
declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, predicting these declines is …

Decades of research suggest that species richness depends on spatial characteristics of
habitat patches, especially their size and isolation. In contrast, the habitat amount hypothesis …

With accelerated land-use change throughout the tropics, an increasing proportion of global
biodiversity is located in human-modified landscapes. Understanding the relative effects of …

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF s) are one of the most threatened forests world‐wide.
These species‐rich forests not only cope with several acute (eg forest loss) and chronic (eg …

Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional
migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller …
