How Three Decades of Forestation Has Impacted Forest Fragmentation in Southern China
Remote SensingForest cover dynamics are studied on a routine basis, but how changes in forest cover impact forest fragmentation has rarely been studied over a long time period resolution.

Conservation: Forest Fragments, Facts, and Fallacies [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 Most of the world's remaining habitats are split into small fragments that lose species quickly. Knowledge of this fact can guide practical actions to prevent extinctions.

Remote SensingGlobal changes cause widespread forest fragmentation, which, in turn, has given rise to many ecological problems; this is especially true if the forest carbon stock is profoundly impacted by fragmentation levels.

Effects of local tree diversity on herbivore communities diminish with increasing forest fragmentation on the landscape scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Forest fragmentation and plant diversity have been shown to play a crucial role for herbivorous insects (herbivores, hereafter). In turn, herbivory-induced leaf area loss is known to have direct implications for plant growth and reproduction as well as ...

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Protected areas can prevent forest loss, but their effects on forest fragmentation and forest regrowth are poorly understood. Furthermore, the importance of protected areas in shaping these forest spatial changes may depend on different socioeconomic ...

Sriwijaya Journal of Environment, 2017 The fragmentation of forest vegetation cover can be measured quantitatively, using tools that can characterize the geometry and spatial properties of the patch or patches of mosaic, which depicts the forest loss and the changes in the temporal pattern.

Sampling Tree Fragments from Forests [PDF]
Computational Linguistics, 2014 We study the problem of sampling trees from forests, in the setting where probabilities for each tree may be a function of arbitrarily large tree fragments. This setting extends recent work for sampling to learn Tree Substitution Grammars to the case where the tree structure (TSG derived tree) is not fixed.

Targeting the EpCAM‐AXL axis to overcome drug resistance in lung cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Lung cancer cells often evade therapy by hijacking signaling pathways. We reveal that cleaved EpCAM (sEpCAM) stabilizes the oncogenic protein AXL, driving NF‐κB and STAT3‐mediated chemoresistance. This EpCAM‐AXL axis identifies a high‐risk patient subset with poor prognosis.

Brazil’s fragmented forests [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Summary One of the largest and longest-running biological experiments shows how habitat fragmentation damages the Amazonian forests. Meanwhile, recent political troubles in Brazil may open the path for more unbridled deforestation. Michael Gross reports.
