We synthesize findings from one of the world's largest and longest‐running experimental
investigations, the B iological D ynamics of F orest F ragments P roject (BDFFP). Spanning …

We synthesize findings to date from the world's largest and longest-running experimental
study of habitat fragmentation, located in central Amazonia. Over the past 32years …

▪ Abstract The pollination of flowering plants by animals represents a critical ecosystem
service of great value to humanity, both monetary and otherwise. However, the need for …

The vast scope of conservation problems has forced biologists and managers to rely on"
surrogate" species to serve as shortcuts to guide their decision making. These species …

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 …

The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats is one of the major issues in wildlife
management and conservation. Habitat" corridors" are sometimes proposed as an important …

There is general agreement among scientists that biodiversity is under assault on a global
basis and that species are being lost at a greatly enhanced rate. This article examines the …

Most ecological processes and interactions depend on scales much larger than a single
habitat, and therefore it is important to link spatial patterns and ecological processes at a …

We reviewed empirical data and hypotheses derived from demographic, optimal foraging,
life-history, community, and biogeographic theory for predicting the sensitivity of species to …

1. A review of the literature shows that in nearly all cases tropical rain forest fragmentation
has led to a local loss of species. Isolated fragments suffer reductions in species richness …
