Examining community responses to habitat configuration across scales informs basic and
applied models of ecosystem function. Responses to patch‐scale edge effects (ie …

Abstract Purpose of the Review The importance of habitat fragmentation in driving
biodiversity loss has been recently debated. While the negative effects of habitat loss are …

Seascape ecology, the marine-centric counterpart to landscape ecology, is rapidly emerging
as an interdisciplinary and spatially explicit ecological science with relevance to marine …

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 …

The goal of this perspective is to review how seagrass research has evolved over the past
half century to our current state of knowledge. We review how our knowledge of seagrass …

Movements of organisms comprise a fundamental aspect of coastal habitat connectivity.
Determining the distribution and co-existence of habitat specialists and generalists in …

Isolating the effects of fragmentation per se (ie, spatial configuration of habitat patches) on
species richness is an ongoing challenge as habitat configuration often covaries with the …

Humans have historically modified their environment, directly and indirectly, to meet their
requirements (August et al., 2002; Forman, 1995; Turner et al., 1994; Vitousek et al., 1997) …

Habitat loss and fragmentation remain major threats in estuaries, particularly with respect to
the erosion of intertidal areas that provide shelter and food resources for numerous fish …

Anthropogenic disturbances in coastal and marine environments have resulted in the
transformation of vegetated benthic habitat spatial patterns, which is thought to influence the …
