TL;DR: This model unites the single-species metapopulation theory with the multispecies SAR for communities and demonstrates that for communities of species that are not well adapted to live in fragmented landscapes, the conventional SAR underestimates the number of extinctions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous approach was used to explore the response of dung beetle species and assemblages to ecotones which differ in environmental dissimilarity in the Southern Atlantic forest of Argentina.

TL;DR: The differential penetration capacity of the native forest birds into anthropogenic habitats shows the importance of using a continuous approach to calculate habitat suitability; classic calculation is likely to bias the calculated suitability and permeability of the hostile matrix and affect the estimations of connectivity.

TL;DR: Microclimatic conditions (average temperature and humidity and maximum temperature) were correlated with functional diversity (the proportion of large paracoprid dung beetle decreased with increasing temperature) and are probably good predictors to explain the observed patterns of functional diversity of dung beetles.

TL;DR: This work analyzes the associations between TBD, FBD, and PBD with the biome (representing different regional species pools) and land use, and investigates whether thereof were correlated; Mantel and PERMANOVA tests showed that TBD,FBD and P BD were positively correlated for both bird and ant assemblages.
