Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Habitat loss has major impacts on biodiversity. Yet, such impacts are not always linear, as there can be threshold values of habitat amount below which species become extirpated from human-modified landscapes (extinction thresholds).

Transmission loss in manatee habitats
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006 The Florida manatee is regularly exposed to high volumes of vessel traffic and other human-related noise because of its coastal distribution. Quantifying specific aspects of the manatee’s acoustic environment will allow for a better understanding of how these animals respond to both natural and human-induced changes in their environment.

Loss of habitat leads to loss of birds: reflections on the Jiangsu, China, coastal development plans [PDF]
Wader Study, 2017 Prompted by the realization that parts of the coast of southern Jiangsu Province, China, are under threat of reclamation, we here summarize evidence that loss of intertidal habitats around the Yellow Sea and at other parts along the Chinese and Korean coasts has already led to severe population declines of migratory shorebirds, including multiple ...

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Climate and land-use change, raise significant threats to biodiversity, affecting species ranges worldwide. Both factors operate on different scales, so including spatial traits that allow them to be appropriately evaluated is relevant to the early ...

Habitat Loss Does Not Always Entail Negative Genetic Consequences
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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Loss of developmental stability can lead to deviations from bilateral symmetry (i.e. Fluctuating Asymmetry ‐ FA), and is thought to be caused by environmental and genetic factors associated with habitat loss and stress. Therefore, levels of FA might be a

Habitat Loss on Rondon’s Marmoset Potential Distribution
Land, 2017 The Amazon basin is one of the most biologically diverse places on earth. However, agricultural expansion and infrastructure development have led to widespread deforestation that threatens the survival of many taxa.

Systematic land-cover change in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: Implications for biodiversity
South African Journal of Science, 2015 Land-cover change and habitat loss are widely recognised as the major drivers of biodiversity loss in the world. Land-cover maps derived from satellite imagery provide useful tools for monitoring land-use and land-cover change.

Extinction risk of narrowly distributed species of seed plants in Brazil due to habitat loss and climate change [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 In a world where changes in land cover and climate happen faster than ever due to the expansion of human activities, narrowly distributed species are predicted to be the first to go extinct.

Impact of Urbanisation Intensity on Bird Diversity in River Wetlands around Chaohu Lake, China
Animals, 2022 Urbanisation is known to result in ‘urban stream syndrome’, which poses a huge threat to the river health. Birds, which are an important part of the river ecosystem, are sensitive to environmental changes in the basin. The ratio of the impervious surface
