Context Birds, as indicators of biodiversity, are experiencing habitat reduction and loss due
to landscape changes. Evidence is mounting that the response of bird richness to landscape …

The fragmentation of tropical forests remains a major driver of avian biodiversity loss,
particularly for insectivores, yet the mechanisms underlying area sensitivity remain poorly …

Seed dispersal by frugivorous animals is important for plant mobility, regeneration and
persistence. Human‐caused landscape change is thought to disrupt seed dispersal, but …

ACR collected and analyzed spatial data. PAT carried out statistical analyses. SBC, KVC-F …

A meandering riverbank plays a vital role in maintaining natural river ecosystems, providing
habitats for riparian vegetation. However, dams have significantly altered riverbank shapes …

Tropical species richness is threatened by habitat degradation associated with land‐use
conversion, yet the consequences for functional diversity remain little understood. Progress …

Understanding how human‐modified landscapes maintain biodiversity and provide
ecosystem services is crucial for establishing conservation practices. Given that responses …

Habitat loss is a global threat to biodiversity with pervasive effects on species and
populations. These impacts may generate cascading effects on ecological processes …

Local plant communities are embedded within the landscape matrix, and thus, diversity of
these communities is largely determined by the spatial pattern of surrounding land-use …

蜿蜒曲折的河岸带为植被提供了栖息地, 对维持自然河流生态系统具有重要作用. 然而,
大坝建设已经显著改变了河岸形态和河流生态系统. 为了恢复河岸生态系统 …
