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: In this article, an ecological model concerning the ecological theory to be used or tested, a data model concerning collection and measurement of the data, and a statistical model concerning statistical theory and methods used.

TL;DR: It is proposed that species distribution modellers should get involved in real decision-making processes that will benefit from their technical input and have the potential to better bridge theory and practice, and contribute to improve both scientific knowledge and conservation outcomes.

TL;DR: A review of recent papers suggests that ecological theory is rarely explicitly considered as mentioned in this paper, and that current theory and results support species responses to environmental variables to be unimodal and often skewed though process-based theory is often lacking.
