A meta-analysis of anthropogenic impacts on physiological stress in wild primates
(2021-02-01)
As humanity continues to alter the environment extensively, comprehending the effect of anthropogenic disturbances on the health, survival, and fitness of wildlife is a crucial question for conservation science. Many primate ...
Macroinvertebrate-based multimetric predictive models for evaluating the human impact on biotic condition of Bolivian streams
(Elsevier Science, 2011-05)
We developed and validated a single multimetric index based on predictive models that could evaluate anthropogenic disturbances in streams of three disparate ecoregions of Bolivia. To do so, we examined 45 candidate metrics ...
Vascular epiphytes in dry oak forests show resilience to anthropogenic disturbance, cordillera oriental, colombia
(Caldasia, 2010)
We compared the richness and biomass of vascular epiphytes in six seasonally semideciduousoak (Quercus humboldtii) forest fragments of varying structure, using theSVERA protocol. Bromeliads dominated epiphytic vegetation ...
Rapid Assessment of Seed Removal and Frugivore Activity as a Tool for Monitoring the Health Status of Tropical Forests
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-09-01)
Ecological processes in tropical forests are being affected at unprecedented rates by human activities. Yet, the continuity of ecological functions like seed dispersal is crucial for forest regeneration. It thus becomes ...
Small Neotropical primates promote the natural regeneration of anthropogenically disturbed areas
(2019-12-01)
Increasingly large proportions of tropical forests are anthropogenically disturbed. Where natural regeneration is possible at all, it requires the input of plant seeds through seed dispersal from the forest matrix. Zoochorous ...
Meta-analysis of anthropogenic habitat disturbance effects on animal-mediated seed dispersal
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
Anthropogenic habitat disturbance is a strong biodiversity change driver that compromises not only
the species persistence but also the ecological interactions in which they are involved. Even though
seed dispersal is a ...

Contemporary gene flow and weak genetic structuring in Rococo toad (Rhinella schneideri) populations in habitats fragmented by agricultural activities
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2011-01-01)
The reduced vagility and philopatric behaviour of most amphibians make them especially vulnerable to the effects of habitat fragmentation, in particular the loss of genetic variation. However, almost no data are available ...
