The majority of fens in Europe have been transformed for agricultural purposes and have
disappeared or become degraded. Fen meadows that developed under low-intensity …

Small plant populations are more prone to extinction due to the loss of genetic variation
through random genetic drift, increased selfing, and mating among related individuals. To …

Summary 1 Small and isolated populations of species are susceptible to loss of genetic
diversity, owing to random genetic drift and inbreeding. This loss of diversity may reduce the …

El conocimiento del estado de fragmentación y transformación de un paisaje boscoso es
crucial para una adecuada planificación y conservación de la biodiversidad. En Chile se …

The use of local seed provenances is often recommended in restoration and habitat creation
because they are thought to be better adapted to local habitat conditions. However, spatial …

La conjunción de humedales costeros y continentales en zonas semiáridas y en
adyacencias urbanas, representa un valioso patrimonio socio-ambiental, sujeto a las …

Many recent studies have explored the effects of present and past landscape structure on
species distribution and diversity. However, we know little about the effects of past …

Habitat fragmentation is known to cause genetic differentiation between small populations of
rare species and decrease genetic variation within such populations. However, common …

Abstract Changes in agricultural production methods over the last century have caused a
massive reduction and fragmentation of the area of European semi-natural grasslands. It …

It is well documented that habitat loss is a major cause of biodiversity decline. However, the
roles of the different aspects of habitat loss in local extinctions are less understood …
