Negative patch-scale edge effects, where species are more common in habitat interior than edge, often used as evidence of negative fragmentation effects. This is because, for a given total area, fragmented landscape contains less habitat. I tested this cross-scale extrapolation by extracting from the literature sample showing or positive landscape-scale and then each searched studies which could calculated slope its effect. Species effects were equally likely to show likewise Thus, species’ effect does reliably predict response fragmentation. Fragmentation efficacy policies related them, require at scale, comparing responses across landscapes with different levels
