Loss of mammalian species from the South American Gran Chaco: Empty savanna syndrome?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-01)
The Gran Chaco in central South America is a major savanna woodland ecosystem. Accelerated changes in land use within it have resulted in a complex matrix of areas with varying capabilities for sustaining wildlife. ...
Evaluating the effects of pollinator-mediated interactions using pollen transfer networks: Evidence of widespread facilitation in south Andean plant communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-05)
Information about the relative importance of competitive or facilitative pollinator-mediated interactions in a multi-species context is limited. We studied interspecific pollen transfer (IPT) networks to evaluate quantity ...
Phenotypic changes and small mammal impoverishment on a Brazilian Atlantic Forest Island
(2013-02-01)
Faunal impoverishment and distorted species compositions are common phenomena in oceanic islands; however, many land-bridge islands are poorly inventoried, especially in the Neotropics. We sampled a small mammal community ...

Does forest loss affect the communities of trap-nesting wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) in forests? Landscape vs. local habitat conditions
(2008)
We investigated changes in the communities of trap-nesting Hymenoptera in forests in relation to forest loss on a landscape scale and understory conditions on a local habitat scale. Two specific questions were addressed. ...
Land-use changes lead to functional loss of terrestrial mammals in a Neotropical rainforest
(2021-04-01)
Land-use changes are a main driver of modifications in tropical ecosystems, leading to the loss of species and ecological traits and affecting key ecological functions. Although much attention has been given to predict the ...
Edge-interior differences in the species richness and abundance of drosophilids in a semideciduous forest fragment
(2013-04-29)
Habitat fragmentation is the main cause of biodiversity loss, as remnant fragments are exposed to negative influences that include edge effects, prevention of migration, declines in effective population sizes, loss of ...

Assemblage-level responses of Neotropical bats to forest loss and fragmentation
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2021-02)
Habitat loss and fragmentation are the most important causes of biological diversity loss, changing the properties of the remaining environment. The Neotropical Region is one of the most affected areas due to the conversion ...
Social wasp-flower visiting guild interactions in less structurally complex habitats are more susceptible to local extinction
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2013-09-01)
Several studies have shown that habitat complexity is an important factor for the dynamic and stability of interacting species. However, it is not known how the habitat complexity may affect the tolerance of wasp-flower ...
