Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation

•Impacts of forest fragmentation on birds are mediated by latitude and vary across functional groups.•Fragmentation alters the trophic structure of tropical, but not temperate, bird communities.•Changes to trophic structure, largely driven by the loss of insectivores and large frugivores, occur...
