Spatial patterns of vegetation coverage change in giant panda habitat based on MODIS time-series observations and local indicators of spatial association

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Measures to characterize the spatial patterns of vegetation change can provide important information for understanding and assessing habitat fragmentation and its causes.

Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]

, 2020
Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on the abundance and species richness of aphidophagous beetles and aphids in experimental alfalfa landscapes

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
In agro-ecosystems, habitat loss and fragmentation may alter the assemblage of aphidophagous insects, such as foliar-foraging (coccinellids) and ground-foraging predators (carabids), potentially affecting intraguild interactions. We evaluated how habitat

Synergistic impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on model ecosystems [PDF]

, 2016
Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to biodiversity, yet separating their effects is challenging. We use a multi-trophic, trait-based, and spatially explicit general ecosystem model to examine the independent and synergistic effects of these

Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and habitat fragmentation: a review

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
I review the effects of habitat fragmentation on carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and examine whether the taxon could be used as an indicator of fragmentation. Related to this, I study the conservation needs of carabids.

The actual relevance of ecological corridors in nature conservation [PDF]

, 2013
The paper considers theoretical and applied foundations of the concept of the ecological corridors in nature conservation. Their relevance comes from recent ecological phenomenon of habitat fragmentation which is rapidly increasing during last decades.

Stepping Stone Strategy: A Cost-Effective Way to Address Habitat Fragmentation of Endangered Wildlife in Montane Forest

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2023
Habitat fragmentation affects the survival of wildlife and is a main threat to biodiversity. Corridors are frequently used to alleviate habitat fragmentation. However, corridors are costly and often ineffective in practice.

Habitat loss weakens the positive relationship between grassland plant richness and above-ground biomass

eLife
Habitat loss and fragmentation per se have been shown to be a major threat to global biodiversity and ecosystem function. However, little is known about how habitat loss and fragmentation per se alters the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem ...
