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 ...

(Elsevier Science, 2019-09)
The fragmentation of natural environments is one of the most important threatsto biodiversity and involves changes in landscape configuration and habitatquality. The Atlantic Forest of South America has been highly ...
Assessing the performance of the existing and proposed network of marine protected areas to conserve marine biodiversity in Chile
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
The growing concern about the profound influence of human activities on marine ecosystems has been the driving force behind the creation of marine reserves in the last few decades. With almost 4200 km of coastline, Chile ...
Análise da paisagem para a identificação de fatores de pressão antrópica na zona de amortecimento da Estação Ecológica de Jataí, SP
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais - PPGCAmCâmpus São Carlos, 2017-02-23)
The establishment of specially protected spaces is an excellent tool of environmental conservation against the various impacts caused by human activities on the environment. In Brazil the Law 9985/2000 instituted the ...
Socioeconomic and environmental proxies for comparing freshwater ecosystem service threats across international sites: A diagnostic approach
(MDPI AG, 2018-11)
In this work, we develop and test proxy-based diagnostic tools for comparing freshwater ecosystem services (FWES) risks across an international array of freshwater ecosystems. FWES threats are increasing rapidly under ...
Anthropogenic, Direct Pressures on Coastal Wetlands
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-07-07)
Coastal wetlands, such as saltmarshes and mangroves that fringe transitional waters, deliver important ecosystem services that support human development. Coastal wetlands are complex social-ecological systems that occur ...
