Despite many studies showing that landscape corridors increase dispersal and species
richness for disparate taxa, concerns persist that corridors can have unintended negative …

Abstract Purpose of Review Corridors are widely considered as a strategy to mitigate effects
of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. There are, however, lingering concerns about …

Landscape patterns influence a range of ecological processes at multiple spatial scales.
Landscape pattern metrics are often used to study the patterns that result from the linear and …

Habitat fragmentation and isolation are considered important causes of biodiversity loss in
cultural landscapes. To counter the negative effects of fragmentation such as reduced …

Despite broad recognition that habitat loss represents the greatest threat to the world's
biodiversity, a mechanistic understanding of how habitat loss and associated fragmentation …

Habitat loss is a major threat to biodiversity, but the effects of habitat fragmentation are less
clear. Examining drivers of key demographic processes, such as reproduction, will clarify …

Though landscape corridors increase dispersal of many animals and plants, it remains
unknown whether these positive effects extend to the process of colonization and …

Metacommunity theory predicts that increasing patch size and patch connectivity can alter
local species diversity by affecting either colonization rates, extinction rates or both …

The biodiversity in agricultural landscapes depends on land‐use types, natural elements,
and farming intensity. The Brazilian Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot, however, the native …

Generalist predators are thought to be less vulnerable to habitat fragmentation because they
use diverse resources across larger spatial scales than specialist predators. Thus, it has …
