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 …

Because human land use activities often result in increased fragmentation of aquatic and
terrestrial habitats, a better understanding of the effects of fragmentation on the genetic …

In European forests, plants, fungi and invertebrates have been proposed as indicator
species for assessing conservation value at the stand scale. To cover larger spatial scales …

Building on the existing literature, this study examines whether specific drivers of forest
fragmentation cause particular fragmentation characteristics, and how these characteristics …

In southern Tunisia, oases and olive orchards are the two main agroecosystems, hence the
importance of investigating their value for native fauna. Using generalised linear mixed …

Indicator species have been proposed to be used for revealing common status of
ecosystems and their biodiversity. We studied breeding forest birds in southern Finland. Our …

Forest fragmentation is a grave threat to biodiversity. Forests are becoming increasingly
fragmented with more than 70% now< 1 km from forest edge. Although much is known about …

Our purpose was to define a quantitative and expeditious method to analyze the effects of
processes that influence species distribution and abundance at different organizational …

Assessment of habitat thresholds is a topical issue in ecology, both from theoretical and
applied perspectives. We examined how forest structure influences selection of breeding …

Norway spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most important target trees in forestry. In Central
Europe, it is grown primarily in forest plantations. However, the distribution area of this tree …
