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

Interactive effects of habitat modification and species invasion on native species decline
Different components of global environmental change are often studied and managed
independently, but mounting evidence points towards complex non-additive interaction effects …

Insects in fragmented forests: a functional approach
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…

Are invasive species the drivers of ecological change?
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 …

Interpreting insect declines: seven challenges and a way forward
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 …

Edge Structure Determines the Magnitude of Changes in Microclimate and Vegetation Structure in Tropical Forest Fragments1
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 …
