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.

TL;DR: Historical and theoretical aspects of frugivory and seed dispersal plant strategies animal strategies conseqences of seed disperseal conservation perspectives are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corridors affect plants, animals, and their interactions in fragmented landscapes.
Joshua J. Tewksbury,Douglas J. Levey,Nick M. Haddad,Sarah Sargent,John L. Orrock,Aimee J. Weldon,Brent J. Danielson,Jory Brinkerhoff,Ellen I. Damschen,Patricia A. Townsend +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that corridors not only increase the exchange of animals between patches, but also facilitate two key plant–animal interactions: pollination and seed dispersal, and suggested that increased plant and animal movement through corridors will have positive impacts on plant populations and community interactions in fragmented landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Plant Populations Seed Limited? A Critique and Meta‐Analysis of Seed Addition Experiments
TL;DR: It was found that, in keeping with previous studies, most species are seed limited, however, the effects of seed addition are typically small, and most added seeds fail to recruit to the seedling stage, so establishment limitation is stronger than seed limitation.
