Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes.
Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate …

Background The principle that a single large habitat patch should hold more species than
several small patches totalling the same area (SL> SS) is used by conservation agencies to …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the
Anthropocene,, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central …

Positive effects of habitat patch size on biodiversity are often extrapolated to infer negative
effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity at landscape scales. However, such cross …

Tropical forest fragmentation results in habitat and biodiversity loss and increased carbon
emissions. Here, we link an increased likelihood of tropical forest loss to decreasing …

Decades of research suggest that species richness depends on spatial characteristics of
habitat patches, especially their size and isolation. In contrast, the habitat amount hypothesis …

As the Anthropocene advances, there are few parts of Earth that have not been impacted by
human influence. Humans have had a long-sustained interaction with grassy ecosystems …

Most of the world's land surface is currently under human use and natural habitats remain as
fragmented samples of the original landscapes. Measuring the quality of plant progeny sired …

Recent studies suggest that habitat amount is the main determinant of species richness,
whereas habitat fragmentation has weak and mostly positive effects. Here, we challenge …

Exploring the factors influencing ecosystem services (ESs) is crucial for protecting them.
Habitat fragmentation is a critical factor that has been proved to have positive or negative …
