Connectivity losses lead to a reduction of the amount of habitat resources that can be
reached and used by species, and hence to a decline in the ranges and abundance of …

Urban expansion increases fragmentation of the landscape. In effect, fragmentation
decreases connectivity, causes green space loss and impacts upon the ecology and …
