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

Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary causes of dispersal can be crucial in
understanding the behaviour of spatially structured populations, and predicting how species …

Traditional approaches to the study of fragmented landscapes invoke an island-ocean
model and assume that the nonhabitat matrix surrounding remnant patches is uniform. Patch …

While most efforts at biodiversity conservation have focused primarily on protected areas
and reserves, the unprotected lands surrounding those area—the" matrix"—are equally …

Summary 1 I synthesize the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure
and animal movement in human‐modified landscapes. 2 The variety of landscape structures …

Connectivity is a fundamental concept that is widely utilized in spatial ecology. The majority
of connectivity measures used in the recent ecological literature only consider the nearest …

Broad-scale destruction and fragmentation of native vegetation is a highly visible result of
human land-use throughout the world (Chapter 4). From the Atlantic Forests of South …

The habitat is the basic unit for developments in life history, population dynamics, landscape
ecology and conservation of organisms. It is frequently treated as a particulate, invariant and …

▪ Abstract In evolutionary ecology, risk-spreading (ie bet-hedging) is the idea that
