Habitat fragmentation causes immediate and time‐delayed biodiversity loss at different trophic levels
Open accessAbstract
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 597–605 Intensification or abandonment of agricultural land use has led to a severe decline of semi‐natural habitats across Europe. This can cause immediate loss of species but also time‐delayed extinctions, known as the extinction debt. In a pan‐European study of 147 fragmented grassland remnants, we found differences in the extinction debt of species from different trophic levels. Present‐day species richness of long‐lived vascular plant specialists was better explained by past than current landscape patterns, indicating an extinction debt. In contrast, short‐lived butterfly specialists showed no evidence for an extinction debt at a time scale of c. 40 years. Our results indicate that management strategies maintaining the status quo of fragmented habitats are insufficient, as time‐delayed extinctions and associated co‐extinctions will lead to further biodiversity loss in the future.

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.
