Although habitat loss and fragmentation are widely regarded as major factors contributing to
the decline of many populations, the relative importance of each phenomenon is seldom …

We studied the occurrence of carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in boreal forest
fragments, their edges, and adjacent clearcuts in central Finland. Beetles were collected …

An ever-increasing proportion of the global forested landscape is in close proximity to edges
and edge effects have been shown to represent key forces affecting both organisms and …

As compared to natural forests, managed boreal forests are younger, more homogeneous in
terms of tree age and species composition, and consist of smaller fragments. Here we …

Herbivore populations are influenced by a combination of food availability and predator
pressure, the relative contribution of which is hypothesized to vary across a productivity …

We evaluated the preferred home ranges of three saproxylic beetle taxa along transects
from the open field into the forest interior, and from the forest floor up to the canopy. By …

Although clearcuts traditionally have been regarded as detrimental to birds associated with
mature-forest, recent evidence suggests that during the post-breeding period regenerating …

Despite intensive recent research on the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on bird
populations, our understanding of underlying demographic causes of population declines is …

Staphylinid beetle assemblages from coniferous foothills forest in west-central Alberta,
Canada were studied via pitfall trapping to examine the effects of stand age and possible …

We conducted an experimental study to assess the effects of habitat fragmentation on patch
use by butterflies and skippers. Five fragmentation treatments (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and …
