Habitat quality, not habitat amount, drives mammalian habitat use in the Brazilian Pantanal
(2021-01-01)
Context: An understanding of species-habitat relationships is required to assess the impacts of habitat fragmentation and degradation. To date, habitat modeling in fragmented landscapes has relied on landscape composition ...
The use of native vegetation as a proxy for habitat may overestimate habitat availability in fragmented landscapes
(Springer, 2016-05-01)
Native vegetation is often used as a proxy for habitat to estimate habitat availability in landscapes. This approach may lead to incorrect estimates of the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on species, which have ...
Short-term effects of habitat fragmentation on the abundance and species richness of beetles in experimental alfalfa micro-landscapes
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2004)
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on the abundance and species richness of aphidophagous beetles and aphids in experimental alfalfa landscapes
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2008)
In agro-ecosystems, habitat loss and fragmentation may alter the assemblage of aphidophagous insects, such as foliarforaging (coccinellids) and ground-foraging predators (carabids), potentially affecting intraguild ...
Assessing how habitat loss restricts the geographic range of Neotropical anurans
(Springer, 2016-11-01)
Habitat loss and fragmentation exert unquestionable negative effects in a wide range of taxa on both regional and local scales. However, there is a debate over whether habitat change impacts geographic species distribution. ...
Local richness and distribution of the lizard fauna in natural habitat mosaics of the Brazilian Cerrado
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
We investigate local lizard richness and distribution in central Brazilian Cerrado, harbouring one of the least studied herpetofaunas in the Neotropical region. Our results are based on standardized samplings at 10 localities, ...
Habitat heterogeneity drives bird species richness, nestedness and habitat selection by individual species in fluvial wetlands of the Paraná River, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-11)
We assessed the relationship between habitat heterogeneity and bird species richness and composition within wetlands of the floodplain of the Middle Paraná River, Argentina. Given the high habitat heterogeneity in these ...
How population loss through habitat boundaries determines the dynamics of a predator-prey system
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-12-01)
The increased persistence of predator-prey systems when interactions are distributed through the space has been acknowledged by both empirical and theoretical studies. One salient feature of predator-prey interactions in ...
