Aim Elucidating patterns in species responses to habitat fragmentation is an important focus
of ecology and conservation, but studies are often geographically restricted, taxonomically …

Habitat fragmentation is considered as major threat to biodiversity worldwide. Biodiversity
can be described as taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity. However, the effect of …

Habitat complexity is accepted as a general mechanism for increasing the abundance and
diversity of communities. However, the circumstances under which complexity has the …

Agricultural intensification has been shown to reduce biodiversity through processes such
as habitat degradation and fragmentation. We tested whether several small or single large …

The notion of 'community-wide character displacement'hypothesizes that locally co-existing
sets of competing species should be less similar than expected when compared to random …

Anthropogenic land‐use change causes substantial changes in local and global
biodiversity. Rare and common species can differ in sensitivity to land‐use change; rare …

The estimation of the relative roles of environment, space, and their interactions in
structuring community composition is one of the central topics of community ecology. I …

Each species generally has a close relationship with one or more habitats and can therefore
be classified as either specialist or generalist. We studied whether specialist and generalist …

For this article, I reviewed empirical studies finding significant ecological responses to
habitat fragmentation per se—in other words, significant responses to fragmentation …

Aim Worldwide, functional homogenization is now considered to be one of the most
prominent forms of biotic impoverishment induced by current global changes. Yet this …
