Global impacts of edge effects on species richness
Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …

Use of agroecosystem matrix habitats by mammalian carnivores (Carnivora): a global‐scale analysis
Less than a quarter of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems remain intact. Protected areas (PA s)
are far exceeded in area by natural habitats that have been transformed for agriculture, and …

Effects of fragmentation on grassland plant diversity depend on the habitat specialization of species
Evaluating the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for biodiversity
conservation. However, an understanding of how habitat loss and fragmentation interact and …

Long‐term change in the avifauna of undisturbed Amazonian rainforest: ground‐foraging birds disappear and the baseline shifts
How are rainforest birds faring in the Anthropocene? We use bird captures spanning> 35
years from 55 sites within a vast area of intact Amazonian rainforest to reveal reduced …

Reptile responses to anthropogenic habitat modification: A global meta‐analysis
Aim The aim was to determine how reptile populations respond to anthropogenic habitat
modification and determine whether species traits and environmental factors influence such …

Biodiversity loss underlies the dilution effect of biodiversity
The dilution effect predicts increasing biodiversity to reduce the risk of infection, but the
generality of this effect remains unresolved. Because biodiversity loss generates predictable …

Detecting the response of bird communities and biodiversity to habitat loss and fragmentation due to urbanization
X Xu, Y **e, K Qi, Z Luo, X Wang - Science of the total environment, 2018 - Elsevier
Birds are considered a good model for indicators of biodiversity response to habitat
variations, as they are very sensitive to environmental change. However, continuous …

Climate-driven variation in dispersal ability predicts responses to forest fragmentation in birds
Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A
prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical landscape disturbance at higher …

Which impacts more seriously on natural habitat loss and degradation? Cropland expansion or urban expansion?
Natural habitat plays an important role in maintaining biodiversity. Both cropland expansion
and urban expansion have an influence on natural habitat. However, it is not clear which …
