Habitat loss has pervasive and disruptive impacts on biodiversity in habitat remnants. The
magnitude of the ecological impacts of habitat loss can be exacerbated by the spatial …

▪ 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 …

The study of animal movement has always been a key element in ecological science,
because it is inherently linked to critical processes that scale from individuals to populations …

Nowadays, ecologists worldwide recognize the use of spatial analysis as essential.
However, because of the fast-growing range of methods available, even an expert might …

A trophic cascade recently has been reported among wolves, elk, and aspen on the northern
winter range of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, but the mechanisms of indirect …

Habitat fragmentation, an important element of current global change, has profound
repercussions on population and species extinction. Landscape fragmentation reduces …

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 …

While the mechanistic links between animal movement and population dynamics are
ecologically obvious, it is much less clear when knowledge of animal movement is a …

Summary 1 I synthesize the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure
and animal movement in human‐modified landscapes. 2 The variety of landscape structures …

Landscape connectivity can be viewed from two perspectives that could be considered as
extremes of a gradient: functional connectivity (refers to how the behavior of a dispersing …
