We review the literature on the influence of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and
movement. We start by examining the definition of landscape commonly used in spatial …

Summary 1 The spread and intensification of agriculture are recognized as two of the most

Background Dispersal between habitat patches is a key process in the functioning of (meta)
populations. As distance between suitable habitats increases, the ongoing process of …

Metapopulation models typically assume that suitable habitats occupied by local
populations and unsuitable matrix separating them form a 'black-and-white'landscape …

Two aspects of landscape composition shape the behavioural response of animals to
habitat heterogeneity: physical habitat structure and abundance of key resources. In …

Remote sensing and GIS are increasingly used as tools for monitoring and managing
forests. Remotely sensed and GIS data are now the data sources of choice for capturing …

Many fire‐prone forests are experiencing wildfires that burn outside the historical range of
variation in extent and severity. These fires impact pollinators and the ecosystem services …

Light is arguably the most important abiotic factor for living organisms. Organisms evolved
under specific lighting conditions and their behavior, physiology, and ecology are inexorably …

Understanding individual movements in heterogeneous environments is central to
predicting how landscape changes affect animal populations. An important but poorly …
