TL;DR: Six major themes in the ecology and conservation of landscapes are assessed, including recognizing the importance of landscape mosaics, recognizing interactions between vegetation cover and vegetation configuration, and 13 important issues that need to be considered in developing approaches to landscape conservation.

TL;DR: I analyzed the stabilization of the schematic view of fragmentation by the early 1980s, using a genealogical narrative as a methodological approach and found that this view was supported by the reduction of empirical research to species–area curve fitt...

TL;DR: The results suggest that regional abundance variation is a primary factor influencing the composition of local assemblages and implies that maintenance of habitat heterogeneity on a small scale (10n15 m) is needed to preserve biodiversity in managed forests.

TL;DR: It is suggested that active micro- habitat selection explains the small-scale distribution within the study plot, whereas dynamics of local populations, influenced by regional-scale differences in habitat composi- tion, are the most likely explanation for the distribution pat- terns among habitat patches.
