Habitat loss estimation for assessing terrestrial mammalian species extinction risk: an open data framework [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Terrestrial mammals face a severe crisis of habitat loss worldwide. Therefore, assessing information on habitat loss throughout different time periods is crucial for assessing species’ conservation statuses based on the IUCN Red List system.

Short-term responses of ground-dwelling arthropod communities to habitat loss and fragmentation in experimental mesoscale landscapes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHabitat loss and fragmentation are main drivers of biodiversity decline. However, disentangling their respective effects remains tricky and contrasting results have emerged in previous studies leading to a call for finely designed landscape-scale ...

Maintaining Local Adaptation Is Key for Evolutionary Rescue and Long‐Term Persistence of Populations Experiencing Habitat Loss and a Changing Environment [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsThe Anthropocene is marked by increased population extirpations and redistributions driven primarily by human‐induced climate change and habitat loss. Habitat loss affects populations by removing occupiable area, which reduces carrying capacity through a

Habitat loss weakens the positive relationship between grassland plant richness and above-ground biomass [PDF]
eLifeHabitat 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 ...

Mixed effectiveness of global protected areas in resisting habitat loss [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsProtected areas are the cornerstones of conservation efforts to mitigate the anthropogenic pressures driving biodiversity loss. Nations aim to protect 30% of Earth’s land and water by 2030, yet the effectiveness of protected areas remains unclear.

Habitat Loss Does Not Always Entail Negative Genetic Consequences [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Although habitat loss has large, consistently negative effects on biodiversity, its genetic consequences are not yet fully understood. This is because measuring the genetic consequences of habitat loss requires accounting for major methodological ...

Indicators for assessing the robustness of metapopulations against habitat loss
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Habitat loss and fragmentation resulting from environmental changes are main drivers of global biodiversity loss, as the survival of metapopulations relies on the ability of individuals to disperse among suitable habitat patches.

Individual and synergistic effects of habitat loss and roads on reptile occupancy
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Habitat loss and road mortality pose severe threats to wildlife by reducing available resources, increasing mortality rates, and fragmenting remaining habitat into smaller patches.
