Over recent decades, an increased commitment to linking research with practice has resulted in many new insights for biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes. However, despite concentrated research effort on 'fragmented ecosystems' , there is often a mismatch between this work and the
As the emphasis of conservation has shifted from protecting species to include entire ecological systems or 'functional landscapes', the need for closer linkages between conservation and landscape ecology has become obvious. Several emerging principles of landscape ecology can inform conservation de
