TL;DR: A novel model proposes a novel approach that relates the diversity of both species and interactions along a gradient of environmental deterioration and explores how the rate of loss of ecological functions, and consequently of ecosystem services, can be accelerated or restrained depending on how the rates of species loss covaries with the rateof interactions loss.

Theory meets reality: How habitat fragmentation research has transcended island biogeographic theory
TL;DR: Fragmentation often has diverse impacts on ecosystem properties such as canopy-gap dynamics, carbon storage, and the trophic structure of communities that are not considered by IBT, and is highlighted with findings from fragmented ecosystems around the world.

Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes
Marcelo Tabarelli,Antônio Venceslau Aguiar,Milton Cezar Ribeiro,Jean Paul Metzger,Carlos A. Peres +4 more
TL;DR: This paper examined the geographic distribution of biological diversity in the Atlantic Forest of South America, synthesized the most conspicuous forest biodiversity responses to human disturbances, and proposed further conservation initiatives for this biota, and offer a range of general insights into the prospects of forest species persistence in human-modified tropical forest landscapes worldwide.

TL;DR: Spatial and ecological networks need to be combined to explore the effects of dispersal, colonisation, extinction and habitat fragmentation on network structure and coevolutionary dynamics and embed network approaches more explicitly within applied ecology in general.

Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities
Norman Myers,Russell A. Mittermeier,Cristina G. Mittermeier,Gustavo A. B. da Fonseca,Jennifer Kent +4 more
TL;DR: A ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat, is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesized key findings from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, the world's largest and longest-running experimental study of habitat fragmentation, and found that fragmentation is highly eclectic, altering species richness and abundances, species invasions, forest dynamics, the trophic structure of communities, and a variety of ecological and ecosystem processes.

Patterns of Floristic Differentiation among Atlantic Forests in Southeastern Brazil and the Influence of Climate1
TL;DR: In this article, the variations in floristic composition of both rain and semi-deciduous forests were analyzed in terms of geographic and climatic variables by performing multivariate analyses on 125 existing checklists.
