Habitat Fragmentation Increases Overall Richness, but Not of Habitat-Dependent Species

These findings help to inform the fragmentation per se debate, showing that effects on biodiversity can be negative or positive, depending on species’ competitive abilities and dependency on the fragmented land cover, and focusing conservation efforts on reducing or preventing fragmentation in areas with species vulnerable to fragmentation.

Coexistence of Specialist and Generalist Species Is Shaped by Dispersal and Environmental Factors

This work addressed the question of the coexistence of specialist and generalist species with a spatially explicit metacommunity model in continuous and heterogeneous environments by characterized how species’ dispersal abilities, the number of interacting species, environmental spatial autocorrelation, and disturbance impact community composition.

Coexistence of Habitat Specialists and Generalists in Metapopulation Models of Multiple-Habitat Landscapes

This work presents a simple, but previously unrecognized, mechanism for coexistence of a habitat generalist and a number of habitat specialist species and shows that coexistence is easily possible.

The implementation of habitat destruction methods that promote native survival under invasion

Controlling invasive alien species invasion and maintaining the survival of native species have attracted increasing attention, and habitat destruction can be used to achieve these aims. However,…

Forest Loss and the Biodiversity Threshold: An Evaluation Considering Species Habitat Requirements and the Use of Matrix Habitats

The results highlight the potential for biodiversity thresholds in human-modified landscapes, and the importance of landscape heterogeneity to biodiversity, and highlight that cross habitat spillover may be asymmetrical and contingent on landscape context, occurring mainly from forests to the matrix and only in more forested landscapes.

Reduced competition may allow generalist species to benefit from habitat homogenization

Evidence of interspecific competition among gecko species is found, in which native house geckos shifted their habitat selection in the presence of velvet gecko, suggesting that livestock grazing leads to homogenization and simplification of habitat structure, which ultimately leads to changes in species composition through reduced competition.

Invasion, Disturbance, and Competition: Modeling the Fate of Coastal Plant Populations

These models contribute new insight into the relationship between environmental disturbance and invasion and demonstrate how influential abiotic factors such as climate change will be in determining interspecific interactions.

Climate and habitat configuration limit range expansion and patterns of dispersal in a non‐native lizard

It is concluded that extensive nationwide range expansion through secondary introduction of a non‐native lizard is likely to be restricted by currently unsuitable climate beyond southern regions of the UK, however, exponential growth of local populations in habitats providing transport pathways are likely to increase opportunities for regional expansion.

Predicting Invasions of Woody Plants Introduced into North America

A retrospective analysis of several structural, life history, and biogeographical attributes of woody plants introduced in North America to determine which traits characterize species that have and have not invaded recommends that species that are highly invasive elsewhere not be allowed into the U.S. and that a more conservative introduction policy using a hierarchical predictive method be employed.
