Nick M. Haddad,Lars A. Brudvig,Jean Clobert,Kendi F. Davies,Andrew Gonzalez,Robert D. Holt,Thomas E. Lovejoy,Joseph O. Sexton,Mike P. Austin,Cathy D. Collins,William M. Cook,Ellen I. Damschen,Robert M. Ewers,Bryan L. Foster,Clinton N. Jenkins,Andrew J. King,William F. Laurance,Douglas J. Levey,Chris Margules,Chris Margules,Brett A. Melbourne,A. O. Nicholls,A. O. Nicholls,John L. Orrock,Dan-Xia Song,John R. Townshend +25 more
TL;DR: An analysis of global forest cover is conducted to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation, indicating an urgent need for conservation and restoration measures to improve landscape connectivity.

Journal ArticleDOI
Navigating the multiple meanings of β diversity: a roadmap for the practicing ecologist
Marti J. Anderson,Thomas O. Crist,Jonathan M. Chase,Mark Vellend,Brian D. Inouye,Amy L. Freestone,Nathan J. Sanders,Howard V. Cornell,Liza S. Comita,Kendi F. Davies,Susan Harrison,Nathan J. B. Kraft,James C. Stegen,Nathan G. Swenson +13 more
TL;DR: A roadmap of the most widely used and ecologically relevant approaches for analysis through a series of mission statements is provided, distinguishing two types of β diversity: directional turnover along a gradient vs. non-directional variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of species sensitivity to fragmentation
TL;DR: A classification of fragmentation sensitivity based on specific trait combinations is developed and the implications of the results for ecological theory are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial spread of invasions: new developments in theory and evidence
Alan Hastings,Kim Cuddington,Kendi F. Davies,Christopher J. Dugaw,Sarah C. Elmendorf,Amy L. Freestone,Susan Harrison,Matthew D. Holland,John G. Lambrinos,Urmila Malvadkar,Brett A. Melbourne,Kara A. Moore,Caz M. Taylor,Diane M. Thomson +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that invasive species spread is a much more complex process than the classical models suggested, as long range dispersal events can have a large influence on the rate of range expansion through time.
