Biodiversity as spatial insurance: the effects of habitat fragmentation and dispersal on ecosystem functioning
Abstract
Habitat destruction and fragmentation is driving biodiversity loss at local and regional scales, yet the functional effects of this loss are poorly understood. Here, this chapter reviews several concepts that allow us to link local and regional scales of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. First it shows how the species-area relationship can link loss of habitat to delayed loss of diversity and ecosystem functioning in remnant fragments. Second, it shows that non-linear averaging can be used to estimate the impact of spatial variance in biodiversity caused by fragmentation. Finally the chapter uses a metacommunity framework to formalize the spatial insurance hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests that dispersal is a key process linking diversity to productivity and stability across fragmented landscapes. The theory this chapter outlines stresses that the knowledge of spatial processes across ecosystems will be essential if we are to understand how habitat fragmentation mediates the ecological and economic impacts of biodiversity loss.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
