Using the Species-Area Relationship to Set Baseline Targets for Conservation (2004, background): “Species relaxation in fragmented landscapes results in a net loss in the original number of species present, as species go extinct from habitat patches over time (Brooks et al. 1999, Robinson 1999, Debinski and Holt 2000, Gonzalez 2000, Kelt 2001).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “While population densities may increase in the short term as survivors are concentrated in remaining patches, in the long term, species abundance and richness decline (Debinski and Holt, 2000) because some can survive for up to several generations under unsuitable habitat conditions before eventuall”
Landscape fragmentation influences winter body mass of roe deer (2009, background): “While much attention has been focused on the community and population-level effects of landscape fragmentation (Debinski and Holt 2000), as well as on body mass variation at a broad spatial scale (for example, geographical”
Metapopulation dynamics of the bog fritillary butterfly: comparison of demographic parameters and dispersal between a continuous and a highly fragmented landscape (2003, background): “However, according to Debinski and Holt (2000), no consistent patterns emerged from such investigations, because of the species’ specific responses to the fragmentation process: depending on its life-history traits, each species has its own way to react towards habitat loss and fragmentation…”
Modelling long‐distance seed dispersal in heterogeneous landscapes (2008, neutral): “1998; Holyoak 2000; Hoyle 2007) or too large to be well replicated or to allow experimental manipulation (Debinski & Holt 2000).”
Assisted colonization: Integrating conservation strategies in the face of climate change (2011, background): “the intervening landscape surrounding patches and corridors of habitat) and on characteristics of the corridor and matrix themselves (Debinski and Holt, 2000; Tischendorf and Fahrig, 2000).”
Environmental and vegetation variables have a greater influence than habitat fragmentation in structuring lizard communities in remnant urban bushland (2004, neutral): “Habitat edges are subject to more extreme abiotic conditions than core areas, such as high winds and temperature extremes (Debinski & Holt 2000).”
Incorporating landscape elements into a connectivity measure: a case study for the Speckled wood butterfly (Pararge aegeria L.) (2003, background): “One of the main determinants for this movement behaviour is the resistance of the landscape matrix: landuse types can hinder e.g. roads, bare soil or enhance e.g. hedgerows movement see Dawson 1994 and Debinski and Holt 2000 for a review .”
SCALE‐DEPENDENT EFFECTS OF LANDSCAPE CONTEXT ON THREE POLLINATOR GUILDS (2002, background): “Decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches lead to a decline in species richness and abundance as well as to changes in community structure (Holt et al. 1999, Connor et al. 2000, Debinski and Holt 2000, SteffanDewenter and Tscharntke 2000a).”
A conceptual framework for studying species composition in fragments, islands and other patchy ecosystems (2002, background): “…soon after fragmentation, the biota of a patch is similar to pre-fragmentation conditions, composed primarily of relict species with some local extinctions because of the net loss of habitat caused by fragmentation (Robinson et al., 1992; Bierregaard & Stouffer, 1997; Debinski & Holt, 2000).”
Using historical ecology to understand patterns of biodiversity in fragmented agricultural landscapes (2005, background): “However, a recent review of fragmentation experiments (Debinski & Holt, 2000) revealed thatmost fragmentation studies exhibited species richness patterns contrary to predictions based upon island biogeography theory.”
Bird community responses to habitat fragmentation: how consistent are they across landscapes? (2005, background): “…reducing the size of habitat patches (area effects), increasing the distance between occupied patches (dispersal effects), and the creation of habitat edges on patches (edge effects) have dominated the conservation literature (reviewed in Saunders et al., 1991; Turner, 1996; Debinski & Holt, 2000).”
Isolation determines patterns of species presence in highly fragmented landscapes (2011, background): “Develey and Metzger (2006), also working in Atlantic forest landscapes, found that nearby forest configuration had a stronger effect on tropical bird communities than merely surrounding habitat cover or patch spatial characteristics.”
Human impacts on environment–diversity relationships: evidence for biotic homogenization from butterfly species richness patterns (2007, background): “Although the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation can be difficult to distinguish (Fahrig, 2003), habitat fragmentation can cause the decline of many butterfly species (Debinski & Holt, 2000).”
