TL;DR: In a review of landscape-scale empirical studies, Fahrig as mentioned in this paper found that ecological responses to habitat fragmentation per se (fragmentation independent of habitat amount) were usually non-significant (>70% of responses) and that 76% of significant relationships were positive, with species abundance, occurrence, richness, and other response variables increasing with habitat fragmentation.

TL;DR: The proposed landscape scenarios represent an optimal compromise between delivery of goods and services to humans and preserving most forest wildlife, and can therefore guide forest preservation and restoration strategies.

TL;DR: The results show that habitat reduction and edges affect the chances of a fruit being eaten by birds, which may ultimately affect plant fitness in forest fragments.

TL;DR: It is suggested that fruit colors differ between habitats because fruit colors that have strong chromatic contrasts against background can increase plants’ reproductive success, particularly under variable light conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated how landscape-scale forest loss affects the forest structure and found that forest structure characteristics were more severely degraded in landscapes with less than 40% forest cover.
