▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

The ecological significance of spacing among plants in contributing to the maintenance of
species richness, particularly in tropical forests, has received considerable attention that has …

Among the most popular strategies for maintaining populations of both plants and animals in
fragmented landscapes is to connect isolated patches with thin strips of habitat, called …

Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the
female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural …

Understanding the processes that lead to species extinctions is vital for lessening pressures
on biodiversity. While species diversity, presence and abundance are most commonly used …

We summarize the problems that populations of formerly common plants may encounter
when habitat fragmentation isolates them and reduces population size. Genetic erosion …

Habitat fragmentation threatens the survival of many species and local populations. Habitat
fragmentation has two major consequences: populations become more isolated and are …

Recent reviews of evidence for plant metapopulation prevalence in nature have concluded
that most species appear not to be arranged as metapopulations–hence other frameworks …

When human activities change the landscape, several processes affecting remnant
vegetation take place simultaneously: there is less suitable habitat, populations become …

Habitat fragmentation is the transformation of once‐extensive landscapes into smaller,
isolated remnants surrounded by new types of habitat. There is ample evidence of …
