Beetle species responses to tropical forest fragmentation

RK Didham, PM Hammond, JH Lawton… - Ecological …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
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

RK Didham, JM Tylianakis, NJ Gemmell… - Trends in ecology & …, 2007 - cell.com
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

RK Didham, J Ghazoul, NE Stork, AJ Davis - Trends in ecology & evolution, 1996 - cell.com
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?

RK Didham, JM Tylianakis, MA Hutchison… - Trends in ecology & …, 2005 - cell.com
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

RK Didham, Y Basset, CM Collins… - Insect Conservation …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Global change and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

JM Tylianakis, RK Didham, J Bascompte… - Ecology …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Confounding factors in the detection of species responses to habitat fragmentation

RM Ewers, RK Didham - Biological reviews, 2006 - cambridge.org
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 …

Ecosystem decay of Amazonian forest fragments: a 22‐year investigation

…, HL Vasconcelos, EM Bruna, RK Didham… - Conservation …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
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 Determines the Magnitude of Changes in Microclimate and Vegetation Structure in Tropical Forest Fragments1

RK Didham, JH Lawton - Biotropica, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes‐eight hypotheses

…, JM Tylianakis, TA Rand, RK Didham… - Biological …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
