Unraveling the drivers of community dissimilarity and species extinction in fragmented landscapes
(ECOLOGICAL SOC AMERWASHINGTON, 2012)
Communities in fragmented landscapes are often assumed to be structured by species extinction due to habitat loss, which has led to extensive use of the species-area relationship (SAR) in fragmentation studies. However, ...
Assessing how habitat loss restricts the geographic range of Neotropical anurans
(Springer, 2016-11-01)
Habitat loss and fragmentation exert unquestionable negative effects in a wide range of taxa on both regional and local scales. However, there is a debate over whether habitat change impacts geographic species distribution. ...
Beyond species loss: the extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-03)
The effects of the present biodiversity crisis have been largely focused on the loss of species. However, a missed component of biodiversity loss that often accompanies or even precedes species disappearance is the extinction ...
Effects of habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and isolation on the density, species richness, and distribution of ladybeetles in manipulated alfalfa landscapes
(BLACKWELL, 2006-12)
1. Habitat loss and fragmentation are the main causes of changes in the distribution and abundance of organisms, and are usually considered to negatively affect the abundance and species richness of organisms in a landscape. ...
Beyond species loss: the extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world
(2015)
The effects of the present biodiversity crisis have been largely focused on the loss of species. However, a missed component of biodiversity loss that often accompanies or even precedes species disappearance is the extinction ...
Metabolic rate, evaporative water loss and thermoregulatory state in four species of bats in the Negev desert
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-01-01)
Life in deserts is challenging for bats because of their relatively high energy and water requirements; nevertheless bats thrive in desert environments. We postulated that bats from desert environments have lower metabolic ...
The use of native vegetation as a proxy for habitat may overestimate habitat availability in fragmented landscapes
(Springer, 2016-05-01)
Native vegetation is often used as a proxy for habitat to estimate habitat availability in landscapes. This approach may lead to incorrect estimates of the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on species, which have ...
Effects of habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and isolation on the density, species richness, and distribution of ladybeetles in manipulated alfalfa landscapes
(WILEY, 2006)
1. Habitat loss and fragmentation are the main causes of changes in the distribution and abundance of organisms, and are usually considered to negatively affect the abundance and species richness of organisms in a landscape. ...
Effects of future climate change and habitat loss in the distribution of frog species in the Ecuadorian Andes
(PUCE, 2015)
The biodiversity of the tropical Andes is threatened by climate change and habitat loss. Many studies have focused in the future effects of climate change on species distribution and conservation but few have included the ...
