Land‐sharing/‐sparing connectivity landscapes for ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation
The land‐sharing versus land‐sparing debate recently stagnated, lacking an integrating
perspective in agricultural landscapes as well as consideration of ecosystem services. Here …

Conservation status of American pikas (Ochotona princeps)
AT Smith - Journal of Mammalogy, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Abstract The American pika (Ochotona princeps) is commonly perceived as a species that is
at high risk of extinction due to climate change. The purpose of this review is two-fold: to …

Extinction of biotic interactions due to habitat loss could accelerate the current biodiversity crisis
ME Sandor, CS Elphick, MW Tingley - Ecological Applications, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Habitat loss disrupts species interactions through local extinctions, potentially orphaning
species that depend on interacting partners, via mutualisms or commensalisms, and …

Patchy range retractions in response to climate change and implications for terrestrial species conservation
Context Efforts to adapt conservation to climate change often focus on facilitating range
shifts to higher latitudes, by enhancing landscape capacity for poleward expansion. The …

Metapopulation regulation acts at multiple spatial scales: Insights from a century of seabird colony census data
JWE Jeglinski, S Wanless, S Murray… - Ecological …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Density‐dependent feedback is recognized as important regulatory mechanisms of
population size. Considering the spatial scales over which such feedback operates has …

Perturbation drives changing metapopulation dynamics in a top marine predator
Metapopulation theory assumes a balance between local decays/extinctions and local
growth/new colonisations. Here we investigate whether recent population declines across …
