Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010)
Recent global assessments have shown the limited coverage of protected areas across tropical biotas, fuelling a growing interest in the potential conservation services provided by anthropogenic landscapes. Here we examine ...
The Interplay Between Thematic Resolution, Forest Cover, and Heterogeneity for Explaining Euglossini Bees Community in an Agricultural Landscape
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2021-05-07)
Human activities have modified the landscape composition. The changes in the landscape structure can be evaluated by metrics, which are influenced, among other factors, by the number of cover classes used for the landscape ...
Forest cover and landscape heterogeneity shape ant–plant co-occurrence networks in human-dominated tropical rainforests
(2019-01-15)
Context: The effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on biodiversity involve a series of mechanisms and processes that cannot be studied in isolation, mainly because human-modified landscapes are spatially heterogeneous. ...
Landscape structure shapes activity levels and composition of aerial insectivorous bats at different spatial scales
(2021-01-01)
Tropical forests are being lost and modified at an unprecedented rate, with extant biodiversity increasingly restricted to human-modified landscapes. Resulting changes in landscape structure are shaping diversity patterns, ...
Divergent flows of avian-mediated ecosystem services across forest-matrix interfaces in human-modified landscapes
(2019-01-01)
Context: The ecological interplay between edge and matrix effects along forest-matrix interfaces is closed linked to landscape processes modulating biodiversity and ecosystem services provision in disturbed landscapes. ...
Integrating plant richness in forest patches can rescue overall biodiversity in human-modified landscapes
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-08-01)
The substitution of natural ecosystems with agriculture has led to the establishment of human-modified landscapes globally. In some tropical regions, this process is decades-old, allowing for the study of the effect of ...
Habitat selection by the black-tufted marmoset Callithrix penicillata in human-disturbed landscapes
(Cambridge University Press, 2019)
Agroforestry systems conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2007-05-31)
Although an increasing number of studies have shown that diverse, multi-strata agroforestry systems can contribute to the conservation of tropical biodiversity, there is still debate about how the biodiversity within ...
Human-modified landscapes alter mammal resource and habitat use and trophic structure
(Natl Acad Sciences, 2019-09-10)
The broad negative consequences of habitat degradation on biodiversity have been studied, but the complex effects of natural-agricultural landscape matrices remain poorly understood. Here we used stable carbon and nitrogen ...
Forest cover drives leaf litter ant diversity in primary rainforest remnants within human-modified tropical landscapes
(2019-04-15)
The main effects of habitat loss and fragmentation have been addressed through changes in diversity patterns at different spatial levels. Species richness and diversity are the most used descriptors to assess the effect ...
