Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Marine heatwaves, and other extreme climatic events, are driving mass mortality of habitat‐forming species and substantial ecological change worldwide.

Positive effects of forest fragmentation per se on bryophyte diversity in subtropical fragmented forests: evidence from land-bridge islands

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionHabitat fragmentation (Sensu lato) represents a landscape-scale process involving both habitat loss and the breaking apart of habitat (habitat fragmentation per se).

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Separating the effects of habitat amount and fragmentation on invertebrate abundance using a multi-scale framework [PDF]

, 2019
Context: Herbicide treatments in viticulture can generate highly contrasting mosaics of vegetated and bare vineyards, of which vegetated fields often provide better conditions for biodiversity.

Consequences of severe habitat fragmentation on density, genetics, and spatial capture-recapture analysis of a small bear population.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Loss and fragmentation of natural habitats caused by human land uses have subdivided several formerly contiguous large carnivore populations into multiple small and often isolated subpopulations, which can reduce genetic variation and lead to precipitous

Genetic diversity of calcareous grassland plant species depends on historical landscape configuration

BMC Ecology, 2017
Background Habitat fragmentation is considered to be a main reason for decreasing genetic diversity of plant species. However, the results of many fragmentation studies are inconsistent.

The effects of landscape variables on the species-area relationship during late-stage habitat fragmentation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Few studies have focused explicitly on the later stages of the fragmentation process, or "late-stage fragmentation", during which habitat area and patch number decrease simultaneously.

Global strict solutions to continuous coagulation–fragmentation equations with strong fragmentation [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper we give an elementary proof of the unique, global-in-time solvability of the coagulation-(multiple) fragmentation equation with polynomially bounded fragmentation and particle production rates and a bounded coagulation rate.

THE RAPID CHANGES OF THE LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE OF THE MERANTI-DANGKU TROPICAL LOWLAND FOREST IN THE SOUTH SUMATRA PROVINCE, INDONESIA

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.

Targeting Incentives to Reduce Habitat Fragmentation [PDF]

This paper develops a theoretical model to analyze the spatial targeting of incentives for the restoration of forested landscapes when wildlife habitat can be enhanced by reducing fragmentation.
