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 …

Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis
L Fahrig - Journal of biogeography, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
I challenge (1) the assumption that habitat patches are natural units of measurement for
species richness, and (2) the assumption of distinct effects of habitat patch size and isolation …

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 …

Biodiversity extinction thresholds are modulated by matrix type
Biodiversity extinction thresholds are abrupt declines in biological diversity that occur with
habitat loss, associated with a decline in habitat connectivity. Matrix quality should influence …

Forest loss and the biodiversity threshold: an evaluation considering species habitat requirements and the use of matrix habitats
Habitat loss is the main driver of the current biodiversity crisis, a landscape-scale process
that affects the survival of spatially-structured populations. Although it is well-established that …

Defaunation and fragmentation erode small mammal diversity dimensions in tropical forests
Forest fragmentation and defaunation are considered the main drivers of biodiversity loss,
yet the synergistic effects of landscape changes and biotic interactions on assemblage …

Nonlinear responses in damselfly community along a gradient of habitat loss in a savanna landscape
Riparian zones are among the most threatened natural ecosystems, being greatly affected
by land use changes across the world. Working in a savanna landscape in the Central-West …

Habitat amount and quality, not patch size, determine persistence of a woodland-dependent mammal in an agricultural landscape
R Gardiner, G Bain, R Hamer, ME Jones… - Landscape Ecology, 2018 - Springer
Context The classical theory of island biogeography explains loss of species in fragmented
landscapes as an effect of remnant patch size and isolation. Recently this has been …
