Body size, niche breadth, and ecologically scaled responses to habitat fragmentation: mammalian predators in an agricultural landscape
TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed landscape-based ecologically scaled landscape indices (ELSI) and modeled species spatial distribution across three spatial scales (landscape-level, element-level and local habitat-level) and found that predator species view landscape fragmentation at different spatial scales and demonstrate strong interspecific differences in their response to elements of the landscape.About:

Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe: a review. J Environ Manag
Chris Stoate,András Báldi,Pedro Beja,Nigel Boatman,Irina Herzon,A.M. van Doorn,G.R. de Snoo,László Rákosy,C. Ramwell +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the ecological status of agricultural systems across the European Union in the light of recent policy changes, concluding that despite many adjustments to agricultural policy, intensification of production in some regions and concurrent abandonment in others remain the major threat to the ecology of agro-ecosystems impairing the state of soil, water and air and reducing biological diversity in agricultural landscapes.

Big city life: carnivores in urban environments
TL;DR: In a time of massive environmental change across the globe, the continuing encroachment of urbanization upon wilderness areas is substantially reducing the availability of natural habitats for many species; therefore, understanding the biology of any taxon that is able to adapt to and exploit anthropogenically disturbed systems must aid us in both controlling and developing suitable conservation measures for the future of such species.

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.

Responses of ‘resistant’ vertebrates to habitat loss and fragmentation: the importance of niche breadth and range boundaries
TL;DR: The authors used occupancy data collected on 32 species of vertebrates (16 mammals and 16 amphibians) in an agricultural landscape of Indiana, USA, to compare hypotheses that focus on different causal mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in responses to habitat.
