Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Biodiversity
- L. Fahrig
- Geography
- 28 November 2003
■ Abstract The literature on effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is huge. It is also very diverse, with different authors measuring fragmentation in different ways and, as a consequence,… Expand
Road Ecology: Science and Solutions
- R. Forman, D. Sperling, +10 authors T. Winter
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2002
Road ecology is defined as using the science of ecology and landscape ecology to examine, understand, and address the interactions of roads and vehicles with their surrounding environment. This book… Expand
Functional landscape heterogeneity and animal biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes can be increased with conversion of some production lands into 'more-natural'- unmanaged or extensively managed - lands. However, it remains unknown to what… Expand
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses
- T. Tscharntke, J. Tylianakis, +23 authors Catrin Westphal
- Geography, Medicine
- Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical…
- 1 August 2012
Understanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global environmental change. In… Expand
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis
- L. Fahrig
- Biology
- 1 September 2013
I challenge (1) the assumption that habitat patches are natural units of measurement for species richness, and (2) the assumption of distinct effects of habitat patch size and isolation on species… Expand
Connectivity is a vital element of landscape structure
- P. D. Taylor, L. Fahrig, K. Henein, G. Merriam
- 1 December 1993
In a recent FORUM article, Dunning et al. (1992) put forward a framework of landscape processes that stimulated considerable discussion amongst us. We are in general agreement with their ideas, but… Expand
On the usage and measurement of landscape connectivity
- L. Tischendorf, L. Fahrig
- Biology
- 1 July 2000
This paper examines the usage and measurement of “landscape connectivity” in 33 recent studies. Connectivity is defined as the degree to which a landscape facilitates or impedes movement of organisms… Expand
How much habitat is enough
- L. Fahrig
- Biology
- 1 July 2001
If conservation efforts are to be successful, it is critical that we understand the relationship between habitat loss and the probability of population extinction. Available evidence suggests a… Expand
Effects of Roads on Animal Abundance: an Empirical Review and Synthesis
- L. Fahrig, T. Rytwinski
- Biology
- 5 March 2009
The authors attempted a complete review of the empirical literature on effects of roads and traffic on animal abundance and distribution. They found 79 studies, with results for 131 species and 30… Expand
Relative Effects of Habitat Loss and Fragmentation on Population Extinction
- L. Fahrig
- Biology
- 1 July 1997
In their review of the recent explosion of spatially explicit theory in ecology, Kareiva and Wennergren (1995) suggest a number of emerging principles for species conservation. One of these… Expand
