1 INTRODUCTION Habitat conversion is the primary driver of modern terrestrial biodiversity loss (Newbold et al., 2015), causing local extinctions by decreasing population sizes, increasing population isolation, and, in turn, increasing the influence of stochastic events (Brooks et al., 2002; Wiens, 1992). Understanding how to conserve biodiversity in human-modified landscapes is therefore critical to mitigating the ongoing biodiversity crisis (Kremen & Merenlender, 2018).
