Hyperdynamism in fragmented habitats
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2002Abstract. Are the dynamics of most ecological processes fundamentally increased in frequency or magnitude in fragmented habitats? Hyperdynamism could alter a wide range of population, community, and landscape phenomena, and appears to be evident in fragmented tropical, temperate, and boreal communities. I suggest some potential causes and consequences

Animal Conservation, 2007
AbstractOrganisms often face a higher risk of local extinction in fragmented than in continuous habitat. However, whether populations are affected by reduced size and connectivity of the habitat or by changes in habitat quality in fragmented landscapes remains poorly investigated.

Species loss after habitat fragmentation
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2000Currently, we are losing large areas of natural and seminatural habitats. The big conservation question now is: how far does this habitat loss translate into species loss? Species–area relationships (SAR) describe the increase in the number of species S with increasing area A of a habitat. Generally, SAR obey a power law with an exponent

Stream habitat fragmentation ? a threat to biodiversity
Biodiversity and Conservation, 1992Biodiversity is undisturbed rhithral streams in central Europe is high, with about 1000 resident metazoan species; over 600 insect species occur in the Fulda river (Germany). Longitudinal downstream shift of dominance from rheobiontic to rheophilous and finally to ubiquituos rheoxenic taxa in the potamal is described.

Habitat Loss, Fragmentation, and Restoration
Restoration Ecology, 1999AbstractThe loss and fragmentation of habitat is a major threat to the continued survival of many species. We argue that, by including spatial processes in restoration management plans, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation can be offset. Yet few management plans take into account spatial effects of habitat conservation/restoration despite the ...

Habitat fragmentation resulting in overgrazing by herbivores
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2003Habitat fragmentation sometimes results in outbreaks of herbivorous insect and causes an enormous loss of primary production. It is hypothesized that the driving force behind such herbivore outbreaks is disruption of natural enemy attack that releases herbivores from top-down control.
