▪ Abstract The literature on effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is huge. It is also
very diverse, with different authors measuring fragmentation in different ways and, as a …

An ecosystem is a complex composition of physical, chemical and biological components.
This complex system remains in a healthy state if the system can maintain the ecological …

Climate change and habitat fragmentation are considered key pressures on biodiversity. In
this paper we explore the potential synergetic effects between these factors. We argue that …

Corridor Ecology presents guidelines that combine conservation science and practical
experience for maintaining, enhancing, and creating connectivity between natural areas with …

Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional

In spite of their relatively small size as a group of insects, dung beetles have attracted an
inordinate amount of scientific interest over the years, starting with the work of the French …

Habitat heterogeneity has long been recognized as a fundamental variable indicative of
species diversity, in terms of both richness and abundance. Satellite remote sensing data …

Fluctuations of bird abundances have been attributed to such factors as supplemental
feeding, landscape change, and habitat fragmentation. Notably absent from consideration …

We investigated the impact of landscape structure on landscape connectivity using a
combination of simulation and empirical experiments. In a previous study we documented …
