In recent decades we have seen rapid and co‐occurring changes in landscape structure,
species distributions and even climate as consequences of human activity. Such changes …

Habitat loss fragments metacommunities, altering the movement of species between
previously connected habitat patches. The consequences of habitat loss for ecosystem …

Extinction of species, and even clades, is a normal part of the macroevolutionary process.
However, several times in Earth history the rate of species and clade extinctions increased …

Although populations of amphibians are declining worldwide, there is no evidence that
salamanders occupying small streams are experiencing enigmatic declines, and …

Metapopulations persist when local populations are rapidly recolonized following local
extinctions. Such persistence requires asynchrony; simultaneous crashes of all populations …

Background Large-scale inter-basin water transfer (IBWT) projects are commonly proposed
as solutions to water distribution and supply problems. These problems are likely to intensify …

Real-world networks are rarely isolated; rather, they constitute a large number of elements
interacting through complex topologies and oscillation is essential for their proper …

A metapopulation structure in landscape ecology comprises a group of interacting spatially
separated subpopulations or patches of the same species that may experience several local …

Interbasin water transfer projects, in which river connectivity is restructured via man‐made
canals, are an increasingly popular solution to address the spatial mismatch between supply …

Deterioration in dynamical activities may come up naturally or due to environmental
influences in a massive portion of biological and physical systems. Such dynamical …
