DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5980
Abstract: Abstract Habitat loss leading to smaller patch sizes and decreasing connectivity is a major threat to global biodiversity. While some species vanish immediately after a change in habitat conditions, others show delayed extinction, that is,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-017-0724-z
Abstract: Habitat losses occur non-randomly within human-modified landscapes, resulting in high spatial heterogeneity of local habitat histories. Although local habitat history can modulate the existence of extinction debt (i.e., the number of populations predicted to become… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.108386
Abstract: Abstract Declines in North American freshwater biodiversity can be largely attributed to anthropogenic disturbances that reduce habitat quantity, quality, and connectivity. In the Laurentian Great Lakes, wetlands have been significantly lost as a result of… read more here.

Evidence of extinction debt through the survival and colonization of each species in semi‐natural grasslands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Vegetation Science"
DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12514
Abstract: Aims There is a time lag between loss of semi-natural grassland and a reduction of population size that leads to the extinction of grassland plant specialists; thus, current species richness in the grassland may include… read more here.
