Resolving the SLOSS dilemma for biodiversity conservation: a research agenda
The legacy of the 'SL> SS principle', that a single or a few large habitat patches (SL)
conserve more species than several small patches (SS), is evident in decisions to protect …

Patch-based graphs of landscape connectivity: a guide to construction, analysis and application for conservation
Graph theory has become a popular tool for modelling the functional connectivity of
landscapes. We conduct a review of studies that use graph theory to model connectivity …

Are ecologists conducting research at the optimal scale?
HB Jackson, L Fahrig - Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Aim The spatial extent (scale) at which landscape attributes are measured has a strong
impact on inferred species–landscape relationships. Consequently, researchers commonly …

Protected-area targets could be undermined by climate change-driven shifts in ecoregions and biomes
Expanding the global protected area network is critical for addressing biodiversity declines
and the climate crisis. However, how climate change will affect ecosystem representation …

Phylogenetic and trait-based prediction of extinction risk for data-deficient amphibians
Amphibians are among the most highly threatened lineages, with at least 2,000 species
estimated to be in danger of extinction [1, 2]. Alarmingly, another∼ 2,200 species (∼ 25% of …

What determines the spatial extent of landscape effects on species?
Context Landscape ecologists are often interested in measuring the effects of an
environmental variable on a biological response; however, the strength and direction of …

What size is a biologically relevant landscape?
HB Jackson, L Fahrig - Landscape ecology, 2012 - Springer
The spatial extent at which landscape structure best predicts population response, called the
scale of effect, varies across species. An ability to predict the scale of effect of a landscape …

The importance of long‐distance dispersal in biodiversity conservation
Dispersal is universally considered important for biodiversity conservation. However, the
significance of long‐as opposed to short‐distance dispersal is insufficiently recognized in …

Do species life history traits explain population responses to roads? A meta-analysis
T Rytwinski, L Fahrig - Biological conservation, 2012 - Elsevier
Efforts to mitigate road effects are now common in new highway construction projects. For
effective mitigation of road effects it is important to identify the species whose populations …
