Habitat degradation destabilizes complex metacommunities by disrupting dispersal
Habitat loss and fragmentation are rapidly reshaping ecosystems worldwide, yet their consequences for ecological stability remain unresolved. Classical theory, pioneered by Robert May, established rigorous criteria for stability; however, these apply to spatially well-mixed communities, limiting their relevance to habitat degradation. Here, we develop a metacommunity framework that integrates…
