Global impacts of edge effects on species richness

JNG Willmer, T Puettker, JA Prevedello - Biological Conservation, 2022 - Elsevier
Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …

Use of agroecosystem matrix habitats by mammalian carnivores (Carnivora): a global‐scale analysis

AS Ferreira, CA Peres, JA Bogoni… - Mammal …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Less than a quarter of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems remain intact. Protected areas (PA s)

Biodiversity loss underlies the dilution effect of biodiversity

FW Halliday, JR Rohr, AL Laine - Ecology letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The dilution effect predicts increasing biodiversity to reduce the risk of infection, but the
generality of this effect remains unresolved. Because biodiversity loss generates predictable …

Detecting the response of bird communities and biodiversity to habitat loss and fragmentation due to urbanization

X Xu, Y Xie, K Qi, Z Luo, X Wang - Science of the total environment, 2018 - Elsevier
Birds are considered a good model for indicators of biodiversity response to habitat
variations, as they are very sensitive to environmental change. However, continuous …

Climate-driven variation in dispersal ability predicts responses to forest fragmentation in birds

TL Weeks, MG Betts, M Pfeifer, C Wolf… - Nature Ecology & …, 2023 - nature.com
