Nick M. Haddad,Lars A. Brudvig,Jean Clobert,Kendi F. Davies,Andrew Gonzalez,Robert D. Holt,Thomas E. Lovejoy,Joseph O. Sexton,Mike P. Austin,Cathy D. Collins,William M. Cook,Ellen I. Damschen,Robert M. Ewers,Bryan L. Foster,Clinton N. Jenkins,Andrew J. King,William F. Laurance,Douglas J. Levey,Chris Margules,Chris Margules,Brett A. Melbourne,A. O. Nicholls,A. O. Nicholls,John L. Orrock,Dan-Xia Song,John R. Townshend +25 more
TL;DR: An analysis of global forest cover is conducted to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation, indicating an urgent need for conservation and restoration measures to improve landscape connectivity.

Journal Article
A unified theory for macroecology based on spatial patterns of abundance
Brian J. McGill,Cathy D. Collins +1 more
TL;DR: The structure of abundance across a species’ entire range combined with interspecific patterns in range location and global abundance can explain the well-known macroecological patterns of a positive correlation between range size and abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metapopulations and metacommunities: combining spatial and temporal perspectives in plant ecology
Helen M. Alexander,Bryan L. Foster,Ford Ballantyne,Cathy D. Collins,Janis Antonovics,Robert D. Holt +5 more
TL;DR: Integrating long-term data with spatial data is essential for understanding spatio-temporal patterns inherent in metapopulation and metacommunity theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community‐level consequences of mycorrhizae depend on phosphorus availability
Cathy D. Collins,Bryan L. Foster +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual model predicts the influence of AMF on diversity along a soil nutrient gradient for plant communities dominated by mycotrophic and non-mycotrophic species and found that, where P was limiting, AMF increased plant diversity and productivity, and also altered community structure; however, at high P, AMf had little influence on aboveground communities.
