Although mammalian carnivores are vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and require
landscape connectivity, their global patterns of fragmentation and connectivity have not …

Although habitat fragmentation is often assumed to be a primary driver of extinction, global
patterns of fragmentation and its relationship to extinction risk have not been consistently …

Conservation biologists have identified threats to the survival of about a quarter of the
mammalian species; to identify patterns of rarity and commonness of mammals, we studied …

Habitat fragmentation reduces biodiversity and affects ecological processes that are
fundamental for maintaining ecosystem services. We investigated how landscape structure …

Fear of predation can have major impacts on the behaviour of prey species. Recently the
concept of the ecology of fear has been defined and formalised; yet there has been relatively …

Global biodiversity is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic environmental change.
While there is mounting evidence that habitat loss is a key threat to biodiversity, global …

The ability to make a priori assessments of a species' response to fragmentation, based on
its distribution in the landscape, would serve as a valuable conservation and management …

I examined the effects of habitat fragmentation on the distribution and abundance of
mammalian carnivores in coastal southern California and tested the prediction that …

The relative influence of habitat loss vs. habitat fragmentation per se (the breaking apart of
habitat) on species distribution and abundance is a topic of debate. Although some …

Species-area models have become the primary tool used to predict baseline extinction rates
for species in isolated habitats, and have influenced conservation and land-use planning …
