    School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Trends Ecol Evol 22:489-96. 2007
    ..Our framework is a first step toward building a better quantitative understanding of how interactions between drivers might mitigate or exacerbate the net effects of global environmental change on biotic communities in the future...

    Robert M Ewers
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Conserv Biol 21:926-36. 2007
    ..Fragment shape played a strong role in determining population size in fragmented landscapes; thus, habitat restoration efforts may be more effective if they focus on connecting disjunct cores rather than isolated fragments...

    J Anim Ecol 79:1204-14. 2010
    ..5. Our results imply that the universally accepted relationship between ecosystem size and biodiversity can be reversed by nutrient enrichment, an increasingly observed human-induced driver of global environmental change...
  7. ncbi Confounding factors in the detection of species responses to habitat fragmentation
    Robert M Ewers
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc 81:117-42. 2006
    ..To conclude, we emphasise that anthropogenic fragmentation is a recent phenomenon in evolutionary time and suggest that the final, long-term impacts of habitat fragmentation may not yet have shown themselves...

    David A Norton
    School of Forestry, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Science 315:1666; author reply 1666. 2007
    ..However, if host specificity is related to host abundance, differences in relative host abundance between tropical and temperate regions may limit any general conclusion that herbivore diversity scales directly with host-plant diversity...
