The effects of forest fragmentation on beetle species composition were investigated in an
experimentally fragmented tropical forest landscape in Central Amazonia. Leaf‐litter beetles …

Different components of global environmental change are often studied and managed
independently, but mounting evidence points towards complex non-additive interaction effects …

T he nature of land-use change in recent decades has not only resulted in a dramatic decrease
in total forest cover, but also in an increasingly skewed sizedistribution of forest remnants…

Invasive species are widely accepted as one of the leading direct causes of biodiversity loss.
However, much of the evidence for this contention is based on simple correlations between …

Many insect species are under threat from the anthropogenic drivers of global change.
There have been numerous well‐documented examples of insect population declines and …

The main drivers of global environmental change (CO 2 enrichment, nitrogen deposition,
climate, biotic invasions and land use) cause extinctions and alter species distributions, and …

Habitat loss has pervasive and disruptive impacts on biodiversity in habitat remnants. The
magnitude of the ecological impacts of habitat loss can be exacerbated by the spatial …

We synthesized key findings from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, the
world's largest and longest‐running experimental study of habitat fragmentation. Although …

Edge structure is one of the principal determinants of the extent and magnitude of edge
effects in forest fragments. In central Amazonia, natural succession at forest edges typically …

Understanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological
processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global environmental …
