Conservation biologists are devoting an increasing amount of energy to debating whether
land sparing (high‐yielding agriculture on a small land footprint) or land sharing (low …

In extensively modified landscapes, how the matrix is managed determines many
conservation outcomes. Recent publications revise popular conceptions of a homogeneous …

Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A
prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical landscape disturbance at higher …

A novel conceptual framework is presented that proposes to apply trait‐based approaches
to predicting the impact of environmental change on ecosystem service delivery by multi …

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

Urbanization acts as a filter on bird species behavioral traits so that only few species can
tolerate urban constraints. We analyzed how behavioral traits (nesting, feeding, and …

Technological advances and increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery offer
the potential for more accurate land cover classifications and pattern analyses, which could …

Several studies have attempted to disentangle the effects of direct habitat loss from factors
such as habitat degradation or fragmentation, and in general highlight that the amount of …

Forest protection policies potentially reduce deforestation and re-direct agricultural
expansion to already-cleared areas. Using satellite imagery, we assessed whether …

The ability to move across the landscape is a fundamental property of species that can
determine their chances of persistence in fragmented landscapes and in rapidly changing …
