1 INTRODUCTION Decades of research on the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation have failed to fully clarify the role of patch size for biodiversity (Chase et al., 2020; Diamond, 1975; Fahrig, 2017; Riva & Fahrig, 2023; Simberloff & Abele, 1976).

Identifying adequate policies to regulate land use is crucial following the 2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) because habitat loss and degradation contribute most to ongoing biodiversity loss (Fahrig, 2017; Haddad et al., 2015).

1 INTRODUCTION Habitat loss is widely considered the most important factor leading to species loss (Díaz et al., 2019; Fahrig, 2003; Watling et al., 2020). However, the effects of habitat fragmentation independent of the effects of habitat loss (“fragmentation per se”) are still debated (Fahrig et al., 2019; Fletcher et al., 2018). Metapopulation theory (Hanski, 1994; Levins, 1969) has had a deep impact on researchers' understanding of the effects of fragmentation on species.

I. INTRODUCTION Land use change is responsible for several sustainability challenges including changes to climate and widespread loss of biodiversity (Ellis et al., 2021; Caro et al., 2022; Rockström et al., 2023).

AbstractClimate change is driving the global redistribution of species. A common assumption is that rapid range shifts occur in tandem with overall stable or positive abundance trends throughout the range and thus these species may be considered as climate change ‘winners’. However, although establishing the link between range shift velocities and population trends is crucial for predicting climate change impacts it has not been empirically tested.
