Habitat Fragmentation Increases Overall Richness, but Not of Habitat-Dependent Species [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Debate rages as to whether habitat fragmentation leads to the decline of biodiversity once habitat loss is accounted for. Previous studies have defined fragmentation variously, but research needs to address “fragmentation per se,” which excludes ...

Habitat loss, not fragmentation, drives occurrence patterns of Canada lynx at the southern range periphery. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Using the Lonsdorf model for estimating habitat loss and fragmentation effects on pollination service

open access: yesEcological 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

Tackling the habitat fragmentation panchreston [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007
The term 'habitat fragmentation' is often used inconsistently and as a broad umbrella for many patterns and processes that accompany landscape change. This has made it a panchreston or an explanation or theory used in such a variety of ways as to become meaningless.

The joint effects of forest habitat area and fragmentation on dung beetles

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEcology 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-

Matrix condition mediates the effects of habitat fragmentation on species extinction risk

open access: yesNature 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,

The Relationship between Habitat Loss and Fragmentation during Urbanization: An Empirical Evaluation from 16 World Cities. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Urbanization results in habitat loss and habitat fragmentation concurrently, both influencing biodiversity and ecological processes. To evaluate these impacts, it is important to understand the relationships between habitat loss and habitat fragmentation

Diversity and composition of ferns and lycophytes in a fragmented landscape in Ecuadorian Amazonia

open access: yesRodriguésia, 2023
Tropical forests have been subjected to increasing deforestation, leading to severe habitat loss and fragmentation of the landscape. Studies of various plant groups-indicate alteration in species diversity and assemblage composition in response to these ...
