The Anthropocene is characterized by a widespread biodiversity crisis that is rivaling
prehistoric mass extinctions. Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrates. In …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the
Anthropocene,, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central …

Species' responses to tropical forest fragmentation are variable and not well understood.
Species' functional traits might help to reveal patterns of fragmentation sensitivity and …

Decades of research suggest that species richness depends on spatial characteristics of
habitat patches, especially their size and isolation. In contrast, the habitat amount hypothesis …

The recent shift in research attention by amphibian biologists towards the causes of
“enigmatic” population declines appears paradoxical given the almost unanimous …

Biodiversity conservation is a key objective for sustainable forest management, but the multi-
dimensional and multi-scale character of biodiversity renders full assessment difficult at …

Human activities often replace native forests with warmer, modified habitats that represent
novel thermal environments for biodiversity. Reducing biodiversity loss hinges upon …

Habitat loss and disease are main drivers of global amphibian declines, yet the interaction
between them remains largely unexplored. Here we show that paradoxically, habitat loss is …

Plantation forests and second‐growth forests are becoming dominant components of many
tropical forest landscapes. Yet there is little information available concerning the …

Islands formed upstream of mega hydroelectric dams are excellent experimental landscapes
to assess the impacts of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. We examined the effects of …
