TL;DR: A global dataset on species responses to fragmentation and a statistical approach for quantifying edge impacts in heterogeneous landscapes are assembled to quantify edge-determined changes in abundance of 1,673 vertebrate species and highlight the pervasive ability of forest edges to restructure ecological communities on a global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing the biodiversity value of Central and Eastern European farmland

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the continued underrepresentation of the low-intensity farmland in Central and Eastern Europe in the international literature and EU policy is impeding the development of sound, evidence-based conservation interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape configurational heterogeneity by small-scale agriculture, not crop diversity, maintains pollinators and plant reproduction in western Europe

Kormann,Teja Tscharntke,Yann Clough,Yann Clough,Aliette Bosem Baillod,Clélia Sirami,Clélia Sirami,Lenore Fahrig,Jean-Louis Martin,Jacques Baudry,Colette Bertrand,Colette Bertrand,Jordi Bosch,Lluís Brotons,Françoise Burel,Romain Georges,David Giralt,M. A. Marcos-García,Antonio Ricarte,Gavin M. Siriwardena,Péter Batáry +22 more
TL;DR: The results show that small-scale agricultural systems can boost pollinators and plant reproduction and should aim to halt and reverse the current trend of increasing field sizes and to reduce the amount of crop types with particularly intensive management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction filters mediate the global effects of habitat fragmentation on animals.

TL;DR: It is concluded that conservation efforts to limit edges created by fragmentation will be most important in the world’s tropical forests because species that have evolved in, and survived in, high-disturbance environments are less sensitive to forest fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of habitat amount and isolation on biodiversity in fragmented traditional orchards
Debra Bailey,Martin H. Schmidt-Entling,Peter Eberhart,John D. Herrmann,Gabriela Hofer,Urs G. Kormann,Felix Herzog +6 more
TL;DR: The effects of habitat fragmentation differed between taxonomic groups, with stronger and more consistent responses in birds than invertebrates, and further invertebrate studies are encouraged.
