Abstract
Landscape ecology is about spatial heterogeneity; and when applied to animal population responses, it has often focused on the effects of large-scale habitat fragmentation. However, Haila (2002) has pointed out that fragmentation has been treated as a unitary phenomenon, whereas in reality, empirical work has shown a wide variety of direct and indirect effects.
