Avian responses to fragmentation of the Maulino Forest in central Chile
(2004)
Depending on the mosaic of habitats that is created, forest fragmentation can reduce the abundance and diversity of forest birds. Temperate deciduous forests in South America are rapidly being replaced by pine plantations, ...
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 ...
Bird diversity and abundance in forest fragments and Eucalyptus plantations around an Atlantic forest reserve, Brazil
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2001-05-01)
Little of Brazil's remaining Atlantic forest is protected, so it is important to assess how well the region's wildlife can persist in areas/habitats outside reserves. We studied bird diversity and abundance during 546 point ...
Changes in forest structure and tree recruitment in Argentinean Chaco: Effects of fragment size and landscape forest cover
(Elsevier Science, 2013-05)
Subtropical Argentinean Chaco forests have been severely deforested and fragmented due to agriculture during the last six decades. The most affected forests are located in areas that are most favorable for crops. This ...
Evaluation of forest fragment in Jaboticabal-S.P.Avaliação dos fragmentos florestais do município de Jaboticabal-SP
(2009-01-01)
This study was conducted in Jaboticabal-SP, to evaluate the evolution and number of forest fragments in the period of 29 years, using remote sensing and photo interpretation techniques. The IBGE Maps (1971) and 2000 aerial ...
Dung decomposition and associated beetles in a fragmented temperate forest
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2004)
Is top-down control by predators driving insect abundance and herbivory rates in fragmented forests?
(2012)
The effects of forest fragmentation on ecological interactions and particularly on food webs have scarcely been analysed. There is usually less herbivory in forest fragments than in continuous forests. Here we hypothesize ...
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 ...
The effect of forest fragments on abundance, diversity and species composition of predatory ants in sugarcane fields
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-12-01)
Habitat loss and fragmentation have gradually caused loss of diversity and consequently the decline of ecological services. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tropical forest fragments as natural habitats (river ...
