• Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems (2015, background): “3 and 4), they spurred and tested new theories such as metacommunity theory ( 42 ) to account for variation in connectivity and habitat quality within and between fragments ( 33 , 43 – 45 ), spatial dynamics ( 14 , 46 ), and spatially varying interspecific interactions ( 47 ).”
• Identification of 100 fundamental ecological questions (2013, background): “Understanding and predicting the spatio-temporal dynamics of populations remains a central goal in ecology (Davidson & Andrewartha 1948; Hanski 1998; Alexander et al. 2012).”
