― Interactions between species, such as predation, competition, parasitism, and an array of mutualisms, have a profound influence on the structure of communities. The loss of a species or a change in its abundance, particularly for species that interact with many others, can have a marked effect on ecological processes throughout fragmented ∙ landscapes. Changes to predator-prey relationships, for example, have been revealed by studies of the level of predationon birds’ nests in fragmented [...].
