DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2977
Abstract: Abstract Changes in species’ trophic niches due to habitat degradation can affect intra‐ and interspecific competition, with implications for biodiversity persistence. Difficulties of measuring species’ interactions in the field limit our comprehension of competition outcomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00114-025-02046-3
Abstract: Human-induced habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation are among the leading causes of species decline worldwide. This is particularly true in tropical forests, where unique, often highly specialized fauna is under threat. By altering resource availability,… read more here.

Association to vegetated habitats and different vulnerability to habitat degradation for two fish species, Epinephelus areolatus (Serranidae) and Siganus canaliculatus (Siganidae), from the western Arabian Gulf.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.03.011
Abstract: Epinephelus areolatus and Siganus canaliculatus are two species of fisheries importance associated with vegetated habitats, which are in turn threatened by human activities such as land filling. We tested their associations with vegetated habitats in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-51798-2
Abstract: Coral reefs are degrading globally leading to a catastrophic loss of biodiversity. While shifts in the species composition of communities have been well documented associated with habitat change, the mechanisms that underlie change are often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.70080
Abstract: Understanding the effects of habitat degradation on biodiversity is essential for undertaking conservation initiatives, but commonly used metrics of biodiversity, like species richness and beta diversity, can miss important signals of change. Greater insights can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.70088
Abstract: In the context of the Anthropocene, it is crucial to understand how habitat degradation and species loss alter the structure and functioning of ecological communities. Using a pondscape within the Pampas Biome as a study… read more here.

Habitat degradation disrupts neophobia in juvenile coral reef fish
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Global Change Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13393
Abstract: Habitat degradation not only disrupts habitat-forming species, but alters the sensory landscape within which most species must balance behavioural activities against predation risk. Rapidly developing a cautious behavioural phenotype, a condition known as neophobia, is… read more here.
