Matrix condition mediates the effects of habitat fragmentation on species extinction risk [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 The influence of human pressure within the matrix surrounding habitat fragments remains poorly understood. This study measures the relationship between habitat fragmentation, matrix condition and the change in extinction risk of 4,426 terrestrial mammals,

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on the Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Erythroneurini in the Typical Karst Rocky Ecosystem, Southwest China [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Karst rocky desertification is one of the main causes of habitat fragmentation in Southwest China. Guizhou Province is located in the center of the karst area in southern China and is a typical karst ecological environment fragile area. Many studies have

Habitat fragmentation enhances microbial collective defence. [PDF]
J R Soc InterfaceAbstractMicrobes often inhabit complex, spatially partitioned geometries such as host tissue or soil, but the effects of habitat fragmentation on microbial infection dynamics and ecology are poorly understood. Here we investigate how habitat fragmentation impacts a prevalent microbial collective defence mechanism: enzymatic degradation of an ...

Impact of habitat fragmentation on tsetse populations and trypanosomosis risk in Eastern Zambia [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Fragmentation of tsetse habitat in eastern Zambia is largely due to encroachments by subsistence farmers into new areas in search of new agricultural land.

Critical transitions and evolutionary hysteresis in movement: Habitat fragmentation can cause abrupt shifts in dispersal that are difficult to revert [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Under habitat fragmentation, plant species' survival hinges on the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat patch to another. While there is evidence that severe habitat fragmentation leads to evolution of reduced dispersal ability and that ...

Habitat loss, not fragmentation, drives occurrence patterns of Canada lynx at the southern range periphery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Peripheral populations often experience more extreme environmental conditions than those in the centre of a species' range. Such extreme conditions include habitat loss, defined as a reduction in the amount of suitable habitat, as well as habitat ...

Ecological Processes, 2021 One of the most important issues related to landscape ecology and ecosystem services is finding the pattern of habitat patches that offers the highest pollination in agricultural landscapes. In this regard, two processes of habitat loss and fragmentation

The joint effects of forest habitat area and fragmentation on dung beetles
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation usually occur together, at the same time and place. However, while there is a consensus that habitat loss is the preeminent threat to biodiversity, the effects of fragmentation are contentious.

Mechanisms Affecting Population Density in Fragmented Habitat
Ecology and Society, 2005 We conducted a factorial simulation experiment to analyze the relative importance of movement pattern, boundary-crossing probability, and mortality in habitat and matrix on population density, and its dependency on habitat fragmentation, as well as inter-
