Abstract

The fragmentation of natural habitats has well-known impacts on biodiversity, although responses to fragmentation are often community and/or species-specific. One potential cause for this variation is that species traits may restrict the abilities of species to inhabit patches with certain characteristics (e.g., small amounts of available habitat). Although assessing the influence of both environmental attributes and species traits on diversity patterns across fragments is analytically challenging, it is crucial for better understanding the consequences of increasing anthropogenically driven land-use change.
