Spatial Configuration Increases Species Richness While Reducing Functional Diversity in Fragmented Atlantic Forest Landscapes

2025-11-12

Abstract excerpt

Fragmentation effects on biodiversity remain contentious, with landscape-scale studies reporting positive effects on species richness while fragment-level studies document diversity losses. We tested whether fragmentation per se affects taxonomic and functional diversity independently and whether landscape heterogeneity mediates these effects. We surveyed small mammal communities across 131 Atlantic Forest sites i...
