Detecting fragmentation extinction thresholds for forest understory plant species in peninsular Spain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ecological theory predicts that fragmentation aggravates the effects of habitat loss, yet empirical results show mixed evidences, which fail to support the theory instead reinforcing the primary importance of habitat loss.

Tropical Forest Landscape Fragmentation in Batang Toru Watershed, North Sumatra
Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika, 2014 Timber-based forest management is now shifting to as broader scope including ecosystem-based management. Timber-oriented forest management frequently affects the fragmentation of forest landscape.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Wild dogs at stake: deforestation threatens the only Amazon endemic canid, the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) [PDF]
, 2020 The persistent high deforestation rate and fragmentation of the Amazon forests are the main threats to their biodiversity. To anticipate and mitigate these threats, it is important to understand and predict how species respond to the rapidly changing ...

Forest birds in forest fragments: are fragmentation effects independent of season? [PDF]
Bird Study, 1999 The aim of this study was to examine whether effects of habitat fragmentation on forest birds persist across seasons. W e noted the presence or absence of 18 bird species in 16 wood plots on 12 occasions (six in winter and six in spring). Woodland area ranged between 0.5 and 200 ha. All patches consisted of mature deciduous woodland.

Markedly Divergent Tree Assemblage Responses to Tropical Forest Loss and Fragmentation across a Strong Seasonality Gradient [PDF]
, 2015 We examine the effects of forest fragmentation on the structure and composition of tree assemblages within three seasonal and aseasonal forest types of southern Brazil, including evergreen, Araucaria, and deciduous forests.
