Bryophytes in a changing landscape: The hierarchical effects of habitat fragmentation on ecological and evolutionary processes (2007, background): “Owing to the mounting empirical evidence that fragmentation increases the demographic instability in many species (Laurance, 2002), it is imperative that the genetic effects of fragmentation be evaluated in light of its impacts on population processes.”
Prospects for tropical forest biodiversity in a human-modified world. (2009, background): “Moreover, there is growing evidence to suggest that the rate of many ecological processes may be both magnified and accelerated in modified tropical forest 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS landscapes, with unpredictable implications for the maintenance of biodiversity (Laurance 2002).”
Theory meets reality: How habitat fragmentation research has transcended island biogeographic theory (2008, background): “As discussed below, population and community dynamics are often greatly amplified in habitat fragments relative to natural conditions (Laurance, 2002), but a variety of factors aside from those hypothesized by IBT can be responsible.”
The role of forest structure, fragment size and corridors in maintaining small mammal abundance and diversity in an Atlantic forest landscape (2005, background): “This hyper-dynamism would be related to two main factors: the higher vulnerability of small habitat portions, firstly, to stochastic processes and, secondly, to influences coming from the neighboring altered areas, i.e., to increased environmental heterogeneity (Laurance, 2002).”
Forest fragment size and microhabitat effects on palm seed predation (2006, background): “Some authors showed that the edge formation increases the frequency of gaps formed by trees that have been felled by high intensity winds, being greater on forest fragments than in continuous forest (Malcolm, 1994; Ferreira and Laurance, 1997; Laurance et al., 2000; Laurance, 2002).”
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses (2012, background): “Biological Reviews © 2012 Cambridge Philosophical Society can suffer from habitat fragmentation include the resistance of fragments to species invasions (Janzen, 1983; Collinge, 2009) and to external disturbances such as hunting and fire (Cochrane & Laurance, 2002).”
