Factors affecting brood patch development in Magellanic Penguins Spheniscus magellanicus
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2016-05)
Brood patches allow the transfer of heat to eggs for their successful embryonic development, and in many species determine egg temperature during incubation. We investigated brood patch development of Magellanic Penguins ...
Population variation in patch and party size in muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides)
(Plenum Publ Corp, 2014)
BIRD FORAGING IN ANACARDIUM PATCHES IN CENTRAL BRAZILIAN FIRE BREAKS: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLOCK SIZE AND PATCH SIZE
(NEOTROPICAL ORNITHOLOGICAL SOC, USGS PATUXENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH CTR, 2009)
Fire management ran increase the biomass of some plant species at fire breaks in reserves of the Cerrado. For example, numerous and large patches of monkey-nuts (Anacardium humile, Anacardiaceae) provide abundant food ...
Ant community patterns in highly fragmented Chaco forests of central Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
The Chaco is the largest dry forest biome in South America and one of the regions most threatened by agricultural intensification. As a consequence, in several areas Chaco forests persist as forest remnants of different ...
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 ...
Thresholds in the relationship between functional diversity and patch size for mammals in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-12-01)
Patch size affects abundance and diversity of mammal species, but there is little information on threshold regarding this relationship or relating it to functional diversity. Therefore, we aimed with this study to (1) ...
Effects of patch size and floral herbivory on seed set in Trichogoniopsis adenantha (Asteraceae) in southeastern Brazil
(Wiley-blackwellHobokenEUA, 2006)
Temporal and micro-spatial patterning of seedling establishment. Consequences for patch dynamics in the southern Monte, Argentina
(Springer, 2004-05)
We compared the temporal and micro-spatial patterning of seedling emergence and establishment of two cohorts of perennial grasses and shrubs in the southern Monte, Argentina. Samplings were carried out in two contrasting ...
Isolation determines patterns of species presence in highly fragmented landscapes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-12-01)
In fragmented landscapes, changes in habitat availability, patch size, shape and isolation may affect survival of local populations. Proposing efficient conservation strategies for such species relies initially on ...
