Large old trees are some of the most iconic biota on earth and are integral parts of many
terrestrial ecosystems including those in tropical, temperate and boreal forests, deserts …

We synthesize findings from one of the world's largest and longest‐running experimental
investigations, the B iological D ynamics of F orest F ragments P roject (BDFFP). Spanning …

The neotropical Atlantic Forest supports one of the highest degrees of species richness and
rates of endemism on the planet, but has also undergone a huge forest loss. However, there …

The realization of conservation goals requires strategies for managing whole landscapes
including areas allocated to both production and protection. Reserves alone are not …

Edges are presumed to have deleterious consequences for the organisms that remain in
forest fragments. However, there is substantial discrepancy among recent studies about the …

Abstract Research on fragmented ecosystems has focused mostly on the biogeograpbic
consequences of the creation of habitat “islands” of different sizes and has provided little of …

We synthesize findings to date from the world's largest and longest-running experimental
study of habitat fragmentation, located in central Amazonia. Over the past 32years …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

No species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where
they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these …

We synthesized key findings from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, the
world's largest and longest‐running experimental study of habitat fragmentation. Although …
