Forest strips increase connectivity and modify forests functioning in a deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)
Land use changes are occurring with unprecedented magnitude and intensity, imposing global impacts on ecosystem services (ES) and biodiversity. While the impacts of land use changes are increasingly recognized, understanding ...
Are corridors, fragment size and forest structure important for the conservation of leaf-litter lizards in a fragmented landscape?
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2009)
To investigate the implications of forest fragmentation for conservation of leaf-litter lizards the importance of fragment size, corridors and forest structure was examined in 20 forest fragments and six localities within ...
Permeability of Neotropical agricultural lands to a key native ungulate—Are well-connected forests important?
(2021-01-01)
Much of what remains of the Earth's tropical forests is embedded within agricultural landscapes, where forest is reduced and fragmented. As native forest ungulates are critical to maintaining forest function, it is imperative ...
Associations of Forest Cover, Fragment Area, and Connectivity with Neotropical Understory Bird Species Richness and Abundance
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2012)
Theoretical and empirical studies demonstrate that the total amount of forest and the size and connectivity of fragments have nonlinear effects on species survival. We tested how habitat amount and configuration affect ...
Associations of Forest Cover, Fragment Area, and Connectivity with Neotropical Understory Bird Species Richness and Abundance
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-12-01)
Theoretical and empirical studies demonstrate that the total amount of forest and the size and connectivity of fragments have nonlinear effects on species survival. We tested how habitat amount and configuration affect ...

Forest cover and connectivity have pervasive effects on the maintenance of evolutionary distinct interactions in seed dispersal networks
(2022-02-01)
Seed dispersal by animals is one of the most important ecological processes in tropical forests, entailing millions of years of evolutionary adaptations of plants and frugivorous animals forming networks of interactions ...
Halting the isolation of jaguars: Where to act locally to sustain connectivity in their southernmost population
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Habitat loss and fragmentation are among the major threats to the conservation of biodiversity. Improvement of landscape connectivity becomes one of the main strategies for alleviating these threats and is an increasingly ...
Using gap-crossing capacity to evaluate functional connectivity of two Atlantic rainforest birds and their response to fragmentation
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008)
One of the main consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation is the increase in patch isolation and the consequent decrease in landscape connectivity. In this context, species persistence depends on their responses to ...
Relative effects of fragment size and connectivity on bird community in the Atlantic Rain Forest: Implications for conservation
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2008)
It is known that large fragment sizes and high connectivity levels are key components for maintaining species in fragments; however, their relative effects are poorly understood, especially in tropical areas. In order to ...
