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: In this article, the authors conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest's edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that herbaceous plant species losses caused by eutrophication may be offset by increased light availability due to herbivory demonstrates that nutrients and herbivores can serve as counteracting forces to control local plant diversity through light limitation, independent of site productivity, soil nitrogen, herbivore type and climate.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that patterns of community similarity and evolution might explain the variation in novelty advantage that can underlie variation in invasion outcomes, including suggestions for managing invasive predators, predator reintroductions and biological control.

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.
