Trophic disruption: A meta‐analysis of how habitat fragmentation affects resource consumption in terrestrial arthropod systems
HM Martinson, WF Fagan - Ecology letters, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Habitat fragmentation is a complex process that affects ecological systems in diverse ways,
altering everything from population persistence to ecosystem function. Despite widespread …

Edges in agricultural landscapes: species interactions and movement of natural enemies
S Macfadyen, W Muller - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Agricultural landscapes can be characterized as a mosaic of habitat patches interspersed
with hostile matrix, or as a gradient of patches ranging from suitable to unsuitable for …

Quantifying edge effects: the role of habitat contrast and species specialization
M Peyras, NI Vespa, MI Bellocq, GA Zurita - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2013 - Springer

Anthropogenic fragmentation of landscapes: mechanisms for eroding the specificity of plant–herbivore interactions
Reduced ecological specialization is an emerging, general pattern of ecological networks in
fragmented landscapes. In plant–herbivore interactions, reductions in dietary specialization …

Corridor width determines strength of edge influence on arthropods in conservation corridors
Context In fragmented landscapes, edge influence (EI) can be an important driver of
ecological change. Multiple edges can interact so that distance to the nearest edge is not an …

Habitat edges alter arthropod community composition
Context Historically, habitat edges were thought to increase diversity by combining
communities from two habitats, but empirical results are mixed. Variation in edge responses …

Movement responses of caribou to human-induced habitat edges lead to their aggregation near anthropogenic features
The assessment of disturbance effects on wildlife and resulting mitigation efforts are founded
on edge-effect theory. According to the classical view, the abundance of animals affected by …

Simple machine learning with aerial imagery reveals severe loss of a salt marsh foundation species
Salt marshes are globally important ecosystems, but many have been lost or transformed
due to the impacts of global change. There have been attempts to broadly quantify salt …
