Land-use intensification has led to a landscape mosaic that juxtaposes human-managed
and natural areas. In such human-dominated and heterogeneous landscapes, spillover …

Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation are key drivers of global species loss.
Their effects may be understood by focusing on:(1) individual species and the processes …

▪ Abstract Edge effects have been studied for decades because they are a key component to
understanding how landscape structure influences habitat quality. However, making sense …

While most efforts at biodiversity conservation have focused primarily on protected areas
and reserves, the unprotected lands surrounding those area—the" matrix"—are equally …

Habitat loss and degradation that comes as a result of human activity is the single biggest
threat to biodiversity in the world today. Habitat Fragmentation and Landscape Change is a …

The cross‐edge spillover of subsidized predators from anthropogenic to natural habitats is
an important process affecting wildlife, especially bird, populations in fragmented …

Nest predation is a key source of selection for birds that has attracted increasing attention
from ornithologists. The inclusion of new concepts applicable to nest predation that stem …

Edge effects are among the most extensively studied ecological phenomena, yet we lack a
general, predictive framework to understand the patterns and variability observed. We …

Habitat fragmentation may modify ecological patterns by increasing the importance of edge
effects, including elevating rates of predation on avian nests. Conventional wisdom suggests …

We reviewed published literature to examine the effect of habitat fragmentation on avian
nesting success at three spatial scales (ie, edge, patch, and landscape scales). We …
