DOI: 10.1007/s10980-019-00777-z
Abstract: ContextTheory predicts that movement limitation due to landscape fragmentation can reduce population viability. Understanding how landscape heterogeneity influences movement is thus critical for testing theory and developing conservation strategies. Consequently, studies are needed that link… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-021-01325-9
Abstract: Natural forces and anthropogenic activities greatly alter land cover, deteriorate or alleviate forest fragmentation and affect biodiversity. Thus land cover and forest fragmentation dynamics have become a focus of concern for natural resource management agencies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-019-0258-3
Abstract: Whether wind pollination in trees can offset the negative genetic consequences of anthropogenic forest fragmentation is not clearly established. To answer this question, we examined the demographic genetics of Quercus bambusifolia over a 70-year recovery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12689
Abstract: Aim: We assessed patterns of avian species loss and the role of morpho-ecological traits in explaining species vulnerability to forest fragmentation in an anthropogenic island system. We also contrasted observed and detectability-corrected estimates of island… read more here.

DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v66i3.4378
Abstract: The forest fragmentation is caused by natural or anthropic actions, which affect negatively the biota and the environmental services rendered by biological diversity. However, there is little information on the reflex of these actions in… read more here.
