Estudos de fragmentação de habitat produziram resultados complexos que são desafiadores para sintetizar. Inconsistências entre os estudos podem resultar da variação a escolha de métricas de paisagem e variáveis de resposta, que geralmente é composta por falta de informação estatística ou metodológica chave. Collating conjuntos de dados primários sobre as respostas da biodiversidade à fragmentação de forma con...
The PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical mod...
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species' threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodivers...
