TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that the term "fragmentation" should be reserved for the breaking apart of habitat, independent of habitat loss, and that fragmentation per se has much weaker effects on biodiversity that are at least as likely to be positive as negative.

TL;DR: Dunning et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a framework of landscape processes acting at the landscape scale: 1) landscape complementation; 2) landscape supplementation; 3) sources and sinks; and 4) neighbourhood effects.

TL;DR: Road ecology is defined as using the science of ecology and landscape ecology to examine, understand, and address the interactions of roads and vehicles with their surrounding environment as mentioned in this paper, where case studies are provided to illustrate the feasiblilty of designing and building road systems which address both biodiversity and ecology and safe and efficient human mobility.

TL;DR: This review uses knowledge gained from human‐modified landscapes to suggest eight hypotheses, which it hopes will encourage more systematic research on the role of landscape composition and configuration in determining the structure of ecological communities, ecosystem functioning and services.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for considering compositional heterogeneity (the number and proportions of different cover types) and configurational heterogeneity, the spatial arrangement of cover types, is proposed.
