The maintenance of biodiversity is a central theme in ecology and conservation biology. Although spatial dynamics have long been documented to influence biodiversity, coexistence theory has so far mainly focused on local communities. This not only limits the understanding of species coexistence to a single-site perspective but also largely restricts our ability to predict the impacts of habitat destruction.
