Mar 12, 2025 · Here we use a dataset of 4,006 taxa across 37 studies from 6 continents to test the effects of fragmentation on biodiversity across scales by explicitly comparing continuous …

Habitat fragmentation has profound effects on ecosystem services, impacting nutrient retention, species richness, and local biophysical conditions. Fragmentation-mediated processes cause …

Mar 20, 2015 · A synthesis of fragmentation experiments spanning multiple biomes and scales, five continents, and 35 years demonstrates that habitat fragmentation reduces biodiversity by …

Feb 15, 2002 · In this paper, we will outline some recent ideas on how the spatial fragmentation of food and habitat affects biodiversity. First, we summarise which processes determine diversity …

Dec 20, 2024 · Habitat fragmentation is the process of separating an intact, continuous habitat into small, isolated patches. Although fragmentation does not directly destroy habitats, it …

Mar 14, 2025 · Ecologists agree that habitat loss and the fragmentation of forests reduces biodiversity in the remaining fragments. But ecologists don’t agree whether it’s better to focus …

Here we use a dataset of 4,006 taxa across 37 studies from 6 continents to test the effects of fragmentation on biodiversity across scales by explicitly comparing continuous and fragmented …

Mar 12, 2025 · These results provide robust evidence on the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on α-diversity and point to the complexity of interpreting β- and γ-diversity …

Mar 12, 2025 · The study, "Species turnover does not rescue biodiversity in fragmented landscapes," published in Nature and led by U-M ecologist Thiago Gonçalves-Souza, comes …

We discuss how fragmentation of resources and habitat operate differently on species diversity across spatial scales, ranging from positive effects on local species coexistence to negative …
