And the answer is ...

A rather obvious omission from this article is the result of the debate. It's ostensibly been raging for more than 30 years - surely someone has an answer now? Or, more likely, at least derived some "rules of thumb" from the assorted experiments that took place in the wake of this debate. I wouldn't expect anything entirely cut-and-dried from ecology!

P.S. I've asked the same question over at the talkpage of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project article.

Completely agree, without a brief synopsis of the present consensus (or even the present state of the debate) this article has the feel of something that wasn't finished.Wheezybabs (talk) 14:24, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missed Plumbago's comments a mere 4 years ago. In part the unfinished state of these articles is my fault. On the other hand, the answer to the SLOSS debate was, in essence, "yes" or "it depends". Need to get back to work on these... Guettarda (talk) 14:37, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, I am editing this article as part of a course I am in. The changes im making are; adding in some subheadings to break up the information, adding the current status of the debate, adding a section for the uses of the sloss debate, a section for the alternate theories, and of course references for the new information.

I have created an image as I could not find a suitable one that was freely available.Brittany Mendrikis (talk) 03:10, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a subheading in under alternate theories as I feel the information in the subheading is better presented as bullet form.Brittany Mendrikis (talk) 03:24, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
