One of the central problems in contemporary ecology and conservation biology is the drastic
change of landscapes induced by anthropogenic activities, resulting in habitat loss and …

The pervasive influence of island biogeography theory on forest fragmentation research has
often led to a misleading conceptualization of landscapes as areas of forest/habitat and 'non …

This paper examines the usage and measurement of “landscape connectivity” in 33 recent
studies. Connectivity is defined as the degree to which a landscape facilitates or impedes …

Many organisms live in ephemeral habitats, making dispersal a vital element of life history.
Here, we investigate how dispersal rate evolves in response to habitat persistence, mean …

Landscapes are studied by pattern (the geographical approach) and by process (the
ecological approach within landscape ecology). The future of landscape ecology depends …

Birds in urban landscapes primarily occupy parks (forest fragments), wooded streets (linear
strips connecting fragments), or the urban matrix. I studied the effects of street location in the …

Part I: Introduction: Definition of a Discipline: Emergence of Landscape Ecology in the
History of Ecology; Recognition of Heterogeneity in Ecological Systems; Taking Human …

We investigated the impact of landscape structure on landscape connectivity using a
combination of simulation and empirical experiments. In a previous study we documented …

Two major challenges of spatial ecology are understanding the effects of landscape
heterogeneity on movement, and translating observations taken at small spatial and …

Through empirical studies and simulation, I demonstrate how simple behaviors can be used
in lieu of detailed dispersal studies to predict the effects of corridors on interpatch …
