Pervasive effects of dispersal limitation on within- and among-community species richness in agricultural landscapes (2009, background): “Second, due to the larger edge/interior habitat ratio of smaller habitat patches, edge and matrix species contribute more to the total species composition of a fragmented habitat patch (Davies et al., 2001; Lövei et al., 2006).”
Habitat fragmentation and the species–area relationship: a focus on total species richness obscures the impact of habitat loss on habitat specialists (2014, background): “Specialists are those species acutely dependent on resources located in the patches and tend to be species of conservation concern (L€ovei et al., 2006).”
Habitat heterogeneity overrides the species–area relationship (2008, background): “Speciesrich groups like Coleoptera (2413 species in this analysis) and Diptera (1004 species) probably lack significant species–area relationship due to their diverse species pools, which harbour species with different life-history and habitat selection strategies (Papp & Darvas, 2000; Magura et al.”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “A forest patch needs to be of a minimum size to create conditions characteristic for forest interior, and this is not possible below a certain size (Lövei et al., 2006).”
