The results of several studies suggest that forest fragmentation affects the mating patterns and reproductive success of tropical tree species by reducing pollinator activity, pollen deposition, and ...

For much of the last ten years, many migratory birds in the US seemed to be in trouble. Forest fragmentation, an increasingly widespread phenomenon, seemed to be causing alarming declines among birds.
