Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

Movement of individual organisms is fundamental to life, quilting our planet in a rich tapestry
of phenomena with diverse implications for ecosystems and humans. Movement research is …

We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is
within 1 km of the forest's edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation. A synthesis …

Relationships between traits of organisms and the structure of their metacommunities have
so far mainly been explored with meta‐analyses. We compared metacommunities of a wide …

The contiguous United States contains a disconnected patchwork of natural lands. This
fragmentation by human activities limits species' ability to track suitable climates as they …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

Seed dispersal by frugivores is a fundamental function for plant community dynamics in
fragmented landscapes, where forest remnants are typically embedded in a matrix of …

Using corridors for conservation is increasing despite a lack of consensus on their efficacy.
Specifically, whether corridors increase movement of plants and animals between habitat …

A growing understanding of the ecology of seed dispersal has so far had little influence on
conservation practice, while the needs of conservation practice have had little influence on …

For a half century, habitat configuration–the arrangement of habitat patches within a
landscape–has been central to theories of landscape ecology, population dynamics, and …
