Rates and patterns of habitat loss across South Africa’s vegetation biomes
South African Journal of Science, 2021 The loss of natural habitat resulting from human activities is the principal driver of biodiversity loss in terrestrial ecosystems globally. Metrics of habitat loss are monitored at national and global scales using various remote sensing based land-cover

Impact of habitat loss on the diversity and structure of ecological networks between oxyurid nematodes and spur-thighed tortoises (Testudo graeca L.) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Habitat loss and fragmentation are recognized as affecting the nature of biotic interactions, although we still know little about such changes for reptilian herbivores and their hindgut nematodes, in which endosymbiont interactions could range from ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Landscape conversion of natural environments into agriculture and pasture are driving a marked biodiversity decline in the tropics. Consequences of fragmentation might depend upon habitat amount in the landscape, while the quality of remnants can also ...

Habitat loss causes non-linear genetic erosion in specialist species
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Habitat loss can lead to non-linear declines in species abundance once the amount of landscape-wide habitat is reduced to a critical value. Previous studies have suggested that such non-linear responses to landscape-wide habitat loss might also exist in ...

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

Shrimp farms, fire or palm oil? Changing causes of proboscis monkey habitat loss
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Proboscis monkeys, endemic to Borneo, inhabit the fastest-disappearing forest types within the island. Previous studies described multiple causes of their habitat loss, with aquaculture and logging figuring among the major threats.

Implications of Habitat Loss on Seed Predation and Early Recruitment of a Keystone Palm in Anthropogenic Landscapes in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Habitat loss is the main driver of the loss of global biodiversity. Knowledge on this subject, however, is highly concentrated on species richness and composition patterns, with little discussion on the consequences of habitat loss for ecological ...

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.
