Fragment connectivity shapes bird communities through functional trait filtering in two types of grasslands

Habitat fragmentation is considered one of the most severe threatening factors for global biodiversity. Here we assessed, how local and landscape scale environmental variables, such as fragment size (small vs. large) and landscape configuration (measured as connectivity index) relates to bird commun...
