Forest loss and degradation are the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Rising global
wood demand threatens further damage to remaining native forests. Contrasting solutions …

Arthropod predators and parasitoids attack crop pests, providing a valuable ecosystem
service. The amount of noncrop habitat surrounding crop fields influences pest suppression …

Understanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological
processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global …

Recent studies suggest that habitat amount is the main determinant of species richness,
whereas habitat fragmentation has weak and mostly positive effects. Here, we challenge …

▪ Abstract The literature on effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is huge. It is also
very diverse, with different authors measuring fragmentation in different ways and, as a …

Wildfires are an integral part of Mediterranean ecosystems; humans impact on landscapes
imply changes in fuel amount and continuity, and thus in fire regime. We tested the …

Community ecological theory may play an important role in the development of a science of
restoration ecology. Not only will the practice of restoration benefit from an increased focus …

Ecological systems are vulnerable to irreversible change when key system properties are
pushed over thresholds, resulting in the loss of resilience and the precipitation of a regime …

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 …

Measures of genetic structure among individuals or populations collected at different spatial
locations across a landscape are commonly used as surrogate measures of functional (ie …
