DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3062
Abstract: Top-down and bottom-up controls regulate the structure and stability of ecosystems, but their relative roles in terrestrial systems have been debated. Here we studied a hydro-inundated land-bridge system in subtropical China and tested the relative… read more here.

Experimental habitat fragmentation disrupts host-parasite interaction over decades via life-cycle bottlenecks.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3758
Abstract: Habitat loss and fragmentation are likely to seriously impact parasites, a less studied but critical component of ecosystems, yet we lack long-term experimental evidence. Parasites structure communities, increase connectivity in food webs, and account for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s004420100632
Abstract: There are few published accounts addressing the impact of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity of terrestrial reptiles. Here we provide information on the saurofaunas of fragments of box-ironbark forest of central Victoria, south-eastern Australia, gathered over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10329-017-0600-4
Abstract: The critically endangered white-headed langur (Trachypithecus leucocephalus) is confined to fragmented karst forests of southwest Guangxi Province, China. A lack of information on the influence of habitat fragmentation on langur behavior has prevented a comprehensive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02256-x
Abstract: Understanding the timescales that shape spatial genetic structure is pivotal to ascertain the impact of habitat fragmentation on the genetic diversity and reproductive viability of long-lived plant populations. Combining genetic and ecological information with current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01041-5
Abstract: Context Habitat fragmentation per se (habitat subdivision independent of habitat loss) is a major driver of biodiversity change, potentially due to its impacts on climate. Habitat fragmentation may make landscapes hotter by increasing the amount… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2021.105414
Abstract: Abstract Habitat fragmentation has transformed many once contiguous habitats into smaller patches varying in size, especially in forest ecosystems. However, while the consequences of habitat fragmentation for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (e.g., productivity) have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.11.014
Abstract: Information on how atrazine can affect the spatial distribution of organisms is non-existent. As this effect has been observed for some other contaminants, we hypothesized that atrazine-containing leachates/discharges could trigger spatial avoidance by the fish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.01.012
Abstract: Understanding the processes and consequences of habitat fragmentation is highly relevant since it represents a serious threat to biodiversity. However, fragmentation includes several facets that are difficult to dissect, such as loss of habitat connectivity,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.06.016
Abstract: Exploring the mechanism of plant species persistence in fragmented landscapes has already become a major issue in spatial ecology. Most of previous models predicted that habitat loss and fragmentation negatively impact plant species persistence, while… read more here.
