“…This is illustrated by the longstanding 'SLOSS' debate about reserve design, which focused on the relative merits of a single large habitat patch and several small patches for population persistence (Ovaskainen, 2002), and more recently by the related debate about the role of fragmentation per se (Fahrig, 2017;Fletcher et al, 2018;Hanski, 2015). An important lesson from theoretical studies is that dispersal capacity is crucial for how organisms respond to changes in the spatial structure of the habitat (Keeling, Wilson, & Pacala, 2002;Sjödin, Brännström, Söderquist, & Englund, 2014). For example, species with either high or low dispersal capacities may experience the same landscape as consisting of a single large habitat or many small isolated habitats respectively (MacDonald, Anderson, Acorn, & Nielsen, 2018;Öckinger, Franzen, Rundlöf, & Smith, 2009;Thomas, 2000).…”
