Habitat loss over six decades accelerates regional and local biodiversity loss via changing landscape connectance by Horváth, Zsófia, Ptacnik, Robert, Vad, Csaba F., Chase, Jonathan M., Coulson, Tim

“…When habitats are lost, species are lost in the region as a result of the sampling process. However, it is less clear what happens to biodiversity in the…”
