DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71683
Abstract: ABSTRACT Oyster reefs form a critical, biogenic coastal habitat and host diverse assemblages of fish and invertebrates. Previous studies show that variation in the settlement and distribution of oyster reef inhabitants depends on factors such… read more here.

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.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3545
Abstract: Mechanisms linked to demographic, biogeographic and food-web processes thought to underpin community stability could be affected by habitat size, but the effects of habitat size on community stability remain relatively unknown. We investigated whether those… read more here.

Contrasting alpha, beta, and gamma diversity in the littoral zones of mountain lakes: effects of habitat size and within-lake community structuring on bacterial biogeography

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiaf026
Abstract: Abstract Research on microbial biogeography has revealed key patterns like the diversity–area relationship and distance–decay of similarity. However, how habitat size affects bacterial diversity in freshwater environments remains largely unclear. Here, we characterize bacterial communities… read more here.

Scaling of Extinction Time With Habitat Size in Experimental Populations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology Letters"
DOI: 10.1111/ele.70178
Abstract: ABSTRACT Theoretical models suggest that the mean time to extinction scales with habitat size through either exponential or power law relationships, depending on demographic and environmental stochasticity. Despite extensive theoretical work, empirical validation of these… read more here.

Response of a tropical tree to non-timber forest products harvest and reduction in habitat size

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0183964
Abstract: Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are widely harvested by local people for their livelihood. Harvest often takes place in human disturbed ecosystems. However, our understanding of NTFPs harvesting impacts in fragmented habitats is limited. We assessed… read more here.
