Assessing the utility of statistical adjustments for imperfect detection in tropical conservation science
In recent years, there has been a fast development of models that adjust for imperfect
detection. These models have revolutionized the analysis of field data, and their use has …

Indirect effects of habitat loss via habitat fragmentation: A cross-taxa analysis of forest-dependent species
Recent studies suggest that habitat amount is the main determinant of species richness,
whereas habitat fragmentation has weak and mostly positive effects. Here, we challenge …

Habitat fragmentation amplifies threats from habitat loss to mammal diversity across the world's terrestrial ecoregions
Global biodiversity is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic environmental change.
While there is mounting evidence that habitat loss is a key threat to biodiversity, global …

Species–habitat networks elucidate landscape effects on habitat specialisation of natural enemies and pollinators
Measuring habitat specialisation is pivotal for predicting species extinctions and for
understanding consequences on ecosystem functioning. Here, we sampled pollinator and …

The evolutionary diversity of locomotor innovation in rodents is not linked to proximal limb morphology
Rodents are the most species-rich order within Mammalia and have evolved disparate
morphologies to accommodate numerous locomotor niches, providing an excellent …

Response to fragmentation by avian communities is mediated by species traits
JJ Valente, MG Betts - Diversity and Distributions, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Aim The hypothesis that habitat fragmentation negatively influences biodiversity stems from
island biogeography and metapopulation theory which predict negative impacts of …
