The relative influence of forest loss and fragmentation on insectivorous bats: does the type of matrix matter?
(Springer, 2015)
Disentangling the relative effects of forest loss versus fragmentation on species distribution and abundance is crucial for adopting efficient biodiversity conservation actions, which could change with the nature of the ...
Frugivory and habitat use by fruit-eating birds in a fragmented landscape of southeast Brazil
(Neotropical Ornithological Society, Usgs Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, 2004-01-01)
To investigate the movement of seeds transported by fruit-eating birds in an agricultural, fragmented landscape of the Atlantic forest of southeast Brazil, I asked which bird species are the main seed dispersers in such ...
Frugivory and habitat use by fruit-eating birds in a fragmented landscape of southeast Brazil
(Neotropical Ornithological Society, Usgs Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, 2004-01-01)
To investigate the movement of seeds transported by fruit-eating birds in an agricultural, fragmented landscape of the Atlantic forest of southeast Brazil, I asked which bird species are the main seed dispersers in such ...
Bird diversity along a gradient of fragmented habitats of the Cerrado
(Acad Brasileira De Ciencias, 2018-03-01)
Understanding the factors that affect biodiversity is of central interest to ecology, and essential to species conservation and ecosystems management. We sampled bird communities in 17 forest fragments in the Cerrado biome, ...
Foraging activity by bats in a fragmented landscape dominated by exotic pine plantations in central chile
(2013)
We assessed foraging activity of insectivorous bats in a fragmented landscape of central Chile including native temperate forest, forest fragments, commercial pine plantations and local human settlements. Overall bat ...
Additive partitioning of butterfly diversity in a fragmented landscape: Importance of scale and implications for conservation
(2008-01-01)
Aim: Most of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil occurs in fragments of various sizes. Previous studies indicate that forest fragmentation affects fruit-feeding butterflies. Conservation strategies that seek to preserve organisms ...
An experimental assessment of landscape configuration effects on frog and toad abundance and diversity in tropical agro-savannah landscapes of southeastern Brazil
(Springer, 2012-01-01)
Amphibians are an imperiled group of vertebrate animals that typically have biphasic life histories involving a shift from aquatic larval habitats to terrestrial adult habitats. Habitat loss is the greatest threat to ...
Seed-dispersal interactions in fragmented landscapes - a metanetwork approach
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-04-01)
Mutualistic interactions repeatedly preserved across fragmented landscapes can scale-up to form a spatial metanetwork describing the distribution of interactions across patches. We explored the structure of a bird ...
Short-term effects of habitat fragmentation on the abundance and species richness of beetles in experimental alfalfa microlandscapes
(SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2004)
Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered as the main causes of biodiversity depression. Habitat loss implies a reduction of suitable habitat for organisms, and habitat fragmentation is a change in the spatial configuration ...
Dispersal movement through fragmented landscapes: the role of stepping stones and perceptual range
(2021-11-01)
Context: Dispersal is a crucial process for species persistence under natural and disturbed landscapes. The effectiveness of stepping stones as a connectivity strategy for increasing dispersal success depends on landscape ...
