Abstract:
... Earth Observation has revolutionised the mapping of species; however, habitat maps are often categorical, static representations of reality that result in issues relating to accurate change estimation and application to multiple species. We must break the habit of simplistic discrete classes of habitat and derive continuous, interval value, change-sensitive, habitat descriptions with an ability to ...

Abstract:
... Roads have a multitude of negative effects on wildlife, including their prominent role in habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation particularly affects bats during their nightly movements between roosts and foraging areas. Bat overpasses are among the proposed improvements intended to reduce the fragmentation impact of roads, but they have rarely been tested. In this study, we performed a Befo ...

Abstract:
... The SLOSS (single large or several small reserves) debate is central to species conservation, and habitat loss is the primary cause of species extinction. As a result, habitat loss is crucial for exploring the debate. This study investigates the effect of nonrandom habitat loss and its interactions with individual migration and disturbance. The results suggest that (1) if the spatial distribution ...

Abstract:
... Due to habitat fragmentation, the loss of species diversity has been extensively studied. On the contrary, the effects of habitat fragmentation on functional diversity is still poorly understood. In the Thousand Island Lake, we conducted studies of insect functional diversity on a set of 29 isolated islands. We used 10 functional diversity indices from three aspects (functional richness, functiona ...

Abstract:
... Recent work on habitat selection has shown that the perceived quality of habitat patches may depend on the quality of adjacent patches. However, it is still unclear how local habitat selection cues can alter distribution patterns in metacommunities at a larger (regional) scale. We studied mosquito oviposition in pond landscapes that differed in the proportion of bad patches with fish predation ris ...

Abstract:
... Large-scale declines in pollinator species are a concern at present. Such declines have been attributed to a range of factors that act in tandem, rather than in isolation. Some of the most pervasive factors affecting pollinator populations are habitat loss and degradation, which results in the loss of floral resources, nesting sites and landscape connectivity. Intensification of agriculture and ur ...

Abstract:
... The idea that the hazard of contaminants is exclusively related to their toxic effects does not consider the fact that some organisms can avoid contamination, preventing toxicity. Although inferences about avoidance are made in most behavioral ecotoxicology studies, assessment of the real spatial displacement (organisms moving toward another habitat to escape contamination) is difficult due to the ...

Abstract:
... With the increasing need for animal and plant resources, not only global habitats but also the biomass energy flow between species are being damaged, and species survival is consequently subjected to increasing challenges. To address this situation, we investigated how the biomass energy flow between animal species and habitat loss simultaneously influence animal survival. The models used to explo ...

Abstract:
... Habitat fragmentation has become a major concern of conservation because of negative influences on plant species declines and extinctions. However, local extinction of species can occur with a temporal delay following habitat fragmentation, which is termed extinction debt. Many studies about extinction debt rely on community equilibrium from relationships between species richness and habitat varia ...

Abstract:
... Habitat loss can lead to non-linear declines in species abundance once the amount of landscape-wide habitat is reduced to a critical value. Previous studies have suggested that such non-linear responses to landscape-wide habitat loss might also exist in genetic variation, and an in-depth understanding of non-linear habitat loss effects on all levels of biodiversity levels is vital to take appropri ...

Abstract:
... Animal pollinators are in a serious decline due to habitat loss, isolation and landscape fragmentation, putting pollination services to crops at risk. Hedgerows have been repeatedly emphasized as landscape elements that provide nesting and food resources, connect fragmented habitats and could thus facilitate crop pollination. However, the beneficial and potentially also detrimental impacts of hedg ...

However, the effectiveness of this approach has not been empirically evaluated. We leveraged a large-scale habitat restoration experiment to test the validity of the substitute species concept.
