Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems
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
Island theory, matrix effects and species richness patterns in habitat fragments
TL;DR: It is suggested that classical island theory remains an appropriate tool to study diversity patterns in fragmented habitats, but that allowances should be made for spill-over colonization of ‘islands’ from the ‘sea’.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary succession in an experimentally fragmented landscape: community patterns across space and time
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe patterns of succession over 18 years in an experimentally fragmented landscape created in eastern Kansas, USA, in 1984, and the design of the experiment permits one to assess the influence of patch size and landscape position on successional dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irrigation and Land Use Drive Ground Arthropod Community Patterns in an Urban Desert
William M. Cook,Stanley H. Faeth +1 more
TL;DR: Of the urban habitats, two heavily irrigated and highly productive land use types seem to stand apart from the others in most community measures.
