The cross‐edge spillover of subsidized predators from anthropogenic to natural habitats is
an important process affecting wildlife, especially bird, populations in fragmented …

Despite extensive empirical research and previous reviews, no clear patterns regarding the
effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on predator–prey interactions have emerged. We …

Can physics be an appropriate framework for the understanding of ecological science? Most
ecologists would probably agree that there is little relation between the complexity of natural …

The ability to make a priori assessments of a species' response to fragmentation, based on
its distribution in the landscape, would serve as a valuable conservation and management …

An ability to predict species' sensitivities to habitat loss and fragmentation has important
conservation implications, and numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain …

Coyotes (Canis latrans) are now ubiquitous throughout most of the eastern United States;
however, little information exists on how they are able to exploit and thrive in fragmented …

Historically, population ecologists have equated environmental spatial heterogeneity with
habitat spatial structure. Early models represented habitat spatial structure simply as …

In this paper we explore simple food web models to study how metacommunity structure
affects species response to habitat loss. We find that patch abundances and extinction …

The modification of habitats in urban areas is thought to alter patterns of species
interactions, by filtering specialist species and those at higher trophic levels. However …
