Habitat destruction and fragmentation are the root causes of many conservation problems.
We conducted a literature survey and canvassed the ecological community to identify …

Understanding the processes that lead to species extinctions is vital for lessening pressures
on biodiversity. While species diversity, presence and abundance are most commonly used …

We compiled studies that report data on the relationship between animal population density
and patch or island area for 287 individual species and 21 faunas. We tested the …

We used published data of individuals moving among habitat patches to answer questions
pertaining to frequency of interpatch movements and subsequent effects on population …

Over the past few decades, much research has focussed on the effects of habitat area (ie,
patch size) and edges in fragmented landscapes. We review and synthesize the literature on …

Many habitat fragmentation experiments make the prediction that animal population density
will be positively related to fragment, or patch, size. The mechanism that is supposed to …

A much discussed issue in landscape ecology is how processes that operate within spatially
subdivided subpopulations scale-up to create a larger, landscape-level dynamic. A first step …

Monitoreamos las respuestas demográficas y conductuales de corto plazo a la reducción y
la fragmentación del hábitat de ratones de campo de cola gris (Microtus canicaudus) …

We radiotracked 184 reproductive active root vole Microtus oeconomus individuals in 12
experimentally fragmented populations to test predictions regarding responses in …

We hypothesized that landscape structure affects movement of individuals through the
landscape, which affects the rate and pattern of disease transmission. Based on this …
