Background The principle that a single large habitat patch should hold more species than
several small patches totalling the same area (SL> SS) is used by conservation agencies to …

Habitat loss has pervasive and disruptive impacts on biodiversity in habitat remnants. The
magnitude of the ecological impacts of habitat loss can be exacerbated by the spatial …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the
Anthropocene,, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central …

I challenge (1) the assumption that habitat patches are natural units of measurement for
species richness, and (2) the assumption of distinct effects of habitat patch size and isolation …

For this article, I reviewed empirical studies finding significant ecological responses to
habitat fragmentation per se—in other words, significant responses to fragmentation …

Theory predicts that species richness or single–species populations can be maintained, or
at least extinctions minimized, by boosting rates of immigration. One possible way of …

The single large or several small (SLOSS) problem has been addressed in a large number
of empirical and theoretical studies, but no coherent conclusion has yet been reached. Here …

The difficulty to spatially link the process levels of organizing agricultural management with
those of investigating biodiversity preservation creates a spatial scale mismatch which …

Habitat fragmentation is considered a primary issue in conservation biology. This concern
centers around the disruption of once large continuous blocks of habitat into less continuous …

In episodic environments like deserts, populations of some animal species exhibit irregular
fluctuations such that populations are alternately large and connected or small and isolated …
