What the habitat amount hypothesis does and does not predict: A reply to Saura

Lenore Fahrig

Summary: The study discusses the effectiveness of the habitat amount hypothesis (HAH) in predicting the impact of fragmentation on species density, highlighting both its validity and limitations. It also explores the relationship between fragmented habitats and the species-area relationship (SAR) as well as the Single Large or Several Small (SLOSS) patches.

Assessment of playa wetland network connectivity for amphibians of the south-central Great Plains (USA) using graph-theoretical, least-cost path, and landscape resistance modelling

L. J. Heintzman et al.

Summary: The study found that the playa network was highly fragmented from a structural perspective, with coalescence distances greater than amphibian dispersal capabilities. However, functional connectivity would require spanning scales from daily movements to inter-generational dispersal in this landscape.

The habitat amount hypothesis predicts that fragmentation poses a threat to biodiversity: A reply to Fahrig

Santiago Saura

Summary: The author challenges the misinterpretations of the habitat amount hypothesis (HAH) and asserts that high fragmentation levels can lead to higher site-level species richness in some cases, although this observation is questioned for potentially distracting from the fundamental negative effects of fragmentation predicted by HAH. The HAH predicts that the highest site-level species richness occurs when all habitat is concentrated in a single compact patch, with any departure from this scenario resulting in negative effects on species richness. The author concludes that the importance of habitat configuration for conservation and the threat of fragmentation to biodiversity cannot be negated as previously believed.
