Background The principle that a single large habitat patch should hold more species than
several small patches totalling the same area (SL> SS) is used by conservation agencies to …

Understanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological
processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global …

For this article, I reviewed empirical studies finding significant ecological responses to
habitat fragmentation per se—in other words, significant responses to fragmentation …

The legacy of the 'SL> SS principle', that a single or a few large habitat patches (SL)
conserve more species than several small patches (SS), is evident in decisions to protect …

Habitat fragmentation changes thermal conditions in remnant patches, and thermal
conditions strongly influence organism morphology, distribution, and activity patterns …

Insects are powerful and rapid adaptive organisms with high fecundity rate and short life
cycle. Due to human interruption in agro-ecosystem and global climatic variations are …

Agricultural landscapes are characterised by dynamic crop mosaics changing in
composition and configuration over space and time. Although semi‐natural habitat has been …

Habitat loss is often considered the greatest near‐term threat to biodiversity. Yet the impact
of habitat fragmentation, or the change in habitat configuration for a given amount of habitat …

Habitat fragmentation is a major threat to biodiversity and can lead to the loss of both
species and ecosystem services, but fragmentation effects vary greatly between studies and …

To better understand responses of reptiles and amphibians to forest fragmentation in the
lowland Neotropics, we examined community and population structure of frogs and lizards in …
