TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of matrix type and matrix habitat structure in modulating avian ESPs across forest-matrix interfaces in human-altered landscapes and suggest that forest cover and rural homestead density are key elements in multifunctional landscapes that consider avian-mediated Ecosystem Service Provision in both forest and matrix habitats.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how the structure of seed-dispersal networks changes along a gradient of increasing habitat fragmentation and found significant species-, interaction- and network-area relationships, yet the later was determined by the number of species remaining in each community.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on biodiversity involve a series of mechanisms and processes that cannot be studied in isolation, mainly because human-modified landscapes are spatially heterogeneous.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between urban landscape structure and plant-frugivore networks at different spatial scales, and evaluated which landscape factors best explained the variation in urban networks properties.
