Matrix composition mediates effects of habitat fragmentation: a modelling study

The effects of habitat fragmentation on bird communities in Hyrcanian forests (Case study: Gorgan Township)

Habitat fragmentation and reproductive success: a structural equation modelling approach.

1. There is great interest on the effects of habitat fragmentation, whereby habitat is lost and the spatial configuration of remaining habitat patches is altered, on individual breeding performance. However, we still lack consensus of how this important process affects reproductive success, and whether its effects are mainly due to reduced fecundity or nestling survival. 2. The main reason for ...

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Biodiversity

■ Abstract The literature on effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is huge. It is also very diverse, with different authors measuring fragmentation in different ways and, as a consequence, drawing different conclusions regarding both the magnitude and direction of its effects. Habitat fragmentation is usually defined as a landscape-scale process involving both habitat loss and the br...
