In this paper, we tested whether the spatial distribution of a given species in more or less
fragmented and disturbed landscapes depends on the species habitat specialization. We …

Theoretical models predict strong influences of habitat loss and fragmentation on species
distributions and demography, but empirical studies have shown relatively inconsistent …

Spatial variation in species composition is one of the most fundamental and conspicuous
features of the natural world. Measures of compositional differentiation and similarity …

Communities are comprised of individual species that respond to changes in their
environment depending in part on their niche requirements. These species comprise the …

While there is widespread recognition of human involvement in biodiversity loss globally, at
smaller spatial extents, the effects are less clear. One reason is that local effects are …

Exotic (nonnative) species are known to have a wide variety of impacts on native biota. One
potential set of impacts that have been poorly studied are the effects of replacing native …

Habitat loss has pervasive and disruptive impacts on biodiversity in habitat remnants. The
magnitude of the ecological impacts of habitat loss can be exacerbated by the spatial …

Aim Which community metrics should be used to reflect community response to large‐scale
habitat alterations is unclear. Here, we assess what and how community changes should be …

Disentangling the mechanisms mediating the coexistence of habitat specialists and
generalists has been a long-standing subject of investigation. However, the roles of species …

Aim To determine the empirical relationships between species richness and spatial turnover
in species composition across spatial scales. These have remained little explored despite …
