Beyond the fragmentation debate: a conceptual model to predict when habitat configuration really matters
MA Villard, JP Metzger - Journal of Applied Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Research addressing the effects of habitat fragmentation on species, assemblages or
ecosystems has been fraught with difficulties, from its conceptual foundation to statistical …

EDITOR'S CHOICE: Stepping stones are crucial for species' long‐distance dispersal and range expansion through habitat networks
Climate and land‐use changes will require species to move large distances following shifts
in their suitable habitats, which will frequently involve traversing intensively human‐modified …

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: How much is left, and how is the remaining forest distributed? Implications for conservation
The neotropical Atlantic Forest supports one of the highest degrees of species richness and
rates of endemism on the planet, but has also undergone a huge forest loss. However, there …

Landscape ecology and biogeography: rethinking landscape metrics in a post-FRAGSTATS landscape
JA Kupfer - Progress in physical geography, 2012 - journals.sagepub.com
Landscape pattern indicators or 'metrics' provide simple measures of landscape structure
that can be easily calculated with readily available data and software. Unfortunately, the …

A framework to optimize biodiversity restoration efforts based on habitat amount and landscape connectivity
The effectiveness of ecological restoration actions toward biodiversity conservation depends
on both local and landscape constraints. Extensive information on local constraints is …

Time-lag in biological responses to landscape changes in a highly dynamic Atlantic forest region
Time-lagged responses of biological variables to landscape modifications are widely
recognized, but rarely considered in ecological studies. In order to test for the existence of …

Seed‐dispersal interactions in fragmented landscapes–a metanetwork approach
Mutualistic interactions repeatedly preserved across fragmented landscapes can scale‐up
to form a spatial metanetwork describing the distribution of interactions across patches. We …
