In extensively modified landscapes, how the matrix is managed determines many
conservation outcomes. Recent publications revise popular conceptions of a homogeneous …

Forest fragmentation and selective logging are two main drivers of global environmental
change and modify biodiversity and environmental conditions in many tropical forests. The …

Disentangling the confounded effects of edge and area in fragmented landscapes is a
recurrent challenge for landscape ecologists, requiring the use of appropriate study designs …

Anthropogenic habitat alteration may affect the dispersal service provided by avian seed
dispersers, ultimately causing regeneration collapse, through a decay in both the …

Different types of matrices can perform different disturbance regimes over remnant forests,
which can ultimately affect plant diversity. To address these issues, we studied 60 plots in …

Land-use intensification is a major cause for the decline in species diversity in human-
modified landscapes. The loss of functionally important species can reduce a variety of …

In fragmented landscapes, plant species persistence depends on functional connectivity in
terms of pollen flow to maintain genetic diversity within populations, and seed dispersal to re …

Edge-effects greatly extend the area of tropical forests degraded through human activities. At
Pasoh, Peninsular Malaysia, it has been suggested that soil disturbance by highly abundant …

Adaptive resource tracking in space and time may be disrupted by the modification of
resources and competitors. Major global change drivers (eg land‐use change) have …

Subtropical forest loss resulting from conversion of forest to other land-cover types such as
grassland, secondary forest, subsistence crop farms and small forest patches affects leaf …
