Effects of Habitat Loss and Fragmentation on Population Dynamics
Article Abstract:
Studies confirm that simple analysis is insufficient for accurate predictions of fragmentation effects. Thorough understanding of habitat use and biology of species and the landscapes they inhabit is required for proper population modeling.

Genetic Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Common Species of Swiss Fen Meadows
Article Abstract:
Habitat fragmentation was found to reduce the survival probabilities not only of rare species in a given ecosystem, but also of common species, emphasizing the importance of mitigating fragmentation in conservation strategies.

Landscape Context Moderates Edge Effects: Nesting Success of Wood Thrushes in Central New York
Article Abstract:
Studies on nesting success and abundance of wood thrushes indicate that edge effects are weaker in contiguous landscapes than in fragmented landscapes.
