We synthesized key findings from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, the
world's largest and longest‐running experimental study of habitat fragmentation. Although …

Aim To review published evidence regarding the factors that influence the geographic
variation in diversity of soil organisms at different spatial scales. Location Global. Methods A …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the
Anthropocene,, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central …

T he nature of land-use change in recent decades has not only resulted in a dramatic
decrease in total forest cover, but also in an increasingly skewed sizedistribution of forest …

Termite assemblages are considered as complex systems containing species with several
modes of feeding and nesting, which have a major though not necessarily dominant role in …

Gut content analysis of termites was undertaken using microscopical techniques. The 46
study species covered the entire range of taxonomic and feeding forms within the Order. 2 …

Termites play a key role in decomposition processes in tropical ecosystems. Rapid
assessment of local termite assemblages requires a standardized sampling protocol …

We investigated the effects of fragmentation due to urbanisation on the species composition
and functional roles of ants, beetles, spiders, flies and wasps. The study was conducted in …

What is known of termite global diversity patterns is reviewed at a number of spatial scales
(from< 1 ha to worldwide), with the caveat that data are, at present, rather sparse. Local …

This paper presents data on the abundance, biomass and species richness of termites in the
Mbalmayo Forest Reserve, southern Cameroon. Five plots of differing disturbance level …
