Conservation Biology

The existence of many species is threatened by loss of suitable habitat. How can we quantify the minimum habitat requirements in the face of global change? More generally, how are stationary and non-stationary distribution patterns affected by habitat loss and human intervention? How can we measure and predict the effect of human intervention?
