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 ...

Demographic and genetic variability in Cape Dwarf Chameleons, Bradypodion pumilum, withink a fragmented, urban habitat [PDF]
, 2012 Includes bibliographical references.Habitat fragmentation is recognized as a primary cause of biodiversity loss. To maximize biodiversity maintenance, researchers in the field of conservation biology often investigate population demography and genetic ...

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 ...

Ecological Processes, 2021 One of the most important issues related to landscape ecology and ecosystem services is finding the pattern of habitat patches that offers the highest pollination in agricultural landscapes. In this regard, two processes of habitat loss and fragmentation

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 ...

Linking habitat use to range expansion rates in fragmented landscapes: a metapopulation approach [PDF]
, 2010 Temperature increases because of climate change are expected to cause expansions at the high latitude margins of species distributions, but, in practice, fragmented landscapes act as barriers to colonization for most species.

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 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.
