Area and edge effects on leaf-litter decomposition in a fragmented subtropical dry forest
(Elsevier Masson, 2014-10)
South American subtropical dry forests are highly threatened by fragmentation. Despite considerable research efforts aimed at predicting ecosystem alterations due to this driver of global change, we still need to deal with ...
Sex ratio and morphological characteristics of Rufous Gnateaters, Conopophaga lineata (Aves, Passeriformes) in Atlantic forest fragments
(FUNDACAO ZOOBOTANICA RIO GRANDE SUL, MUSEU CIENCIAS NATURAIS, 2009)
Unequal sex ratios lead to the loss of genetic variability, decreasing the viability of populations in the long term. Anthropogenic activities often disturb the natural habitats and can cause alterations in sex ratio and ...
Fragmentation drives tropical forest fragments to early successional states: A modelling study for Brazilian Atlantic forests
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
Land use leads to massive habitat destruction and fragmentation in tropical forests. Despite its global dimensions the effects of fragmentation on ecosystem dynamics are not well understood due to the complexity of the ...
Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Diversity of a Forest-Fragment Mosaic in the Amazon Rain Forest
(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2011)
To study the impact of Amazonian forest fragmentation on the mosquito fauna, an inventory of Culicidae was conducted in the upland forest research areas of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project located 60 km ...
Is Pinus radiata invading the native vegetation in Central Chile? Demographic responses in a fragmented forest
(2005)
Forest fragmentation facilitates the invasion of exotic species. This threat may be especially severe if forest fragments are surrounded by plantations of exotic species like Pinus radiata, an aggressive colonizer and ...
Introduction: The Brazilian atlantic forest
(2000-12-01)
The year 2000 marks 500 years of massive destruction for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, as a consequence of the European colonization of Brazil. Today, the Atlantic Forest is restricted to ca 98,800 km2 of remnants, or 7.6 ...
Effect of fragmentation on the Costa Rican dry forest avifauna
(2016)
Deforestation and changes in land use have reduced the tropical dry forest to isolated forest patches in northwestern Costa Rica. We examined the effect of patch area and length of the dry season on nestedness of the entire ...
Use of forest fragments by blue-winged macaws (Primolius maracana) within a fragmented landscape
(Springer, 2007-04-01)
Parrots are the most threatened group of birds in the world, mainly because of the reduction and fragmentation of their natural habitats. However, few studies have investigated the dynamics of parrot populations in disturbed ...
