1. it is written by experts in the field of animal ecology.
2. the article has structure and formal language commonly used in scientific writing, with clear sections such as abstract, introduction, methods, results, etc.
3. the publication of the article involves peer review where experts in the field evaluate the manuscript.
4. the article is acknowledging funding sources.
5. the article incorporates figures, tables, and supplementary materials to support its claims which is a hallmark of rigorous academic work.

This article provides a narrative review of the academic literature on how habitat fragmentation affects the movement patterns, reproductive success, and population stability in populations. It discusses theoretical and empirical studies.
