Based on conclusions drawn from general climatic impact assessmentin mountain regions,
the review synthesizes results relevant to the European Alps published mainly from 1994 …

Habitat fragmentation threatens the survival of many species and local populations. Habitat
fragmentation has two major consequences: populations become more isolated and are …

How does nature work in our human-created city, suburb, and exurb/peri-urb? Indeed how is
ecology-including its urban water, soil, air, plant, and animal foundations-spatially entwined …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

Agricultural land use results in direct biodiversity decline through loss of natural habitat, but
may also cause indirect cross-habitat effects on conservation areas. We conducted three …

Due to habitat fragmentation many plant species today occur mainly in small and isolated
populations. Modeling studies predict that small populations will be threatened more …

Fragmentation of natural vegetation is one of the most pervasive changes in terrestrial
ecosystems across the Earth. Developing a general understanding of how fragmentation …

Long‐term effective population size, which determines rates of inbreeding, is correlated with
population fitness. Fitness, in turn, influences population persistence. I synthesized data …

Pollinators play a key role within most terrestrial communities in maintaining plant
populations, as well as pollinating many agricultural crops for seed and fruit production. The …
