Restoration and conservation of priority areas of caatinga’s semi-arid forest remnants can support connectivity within an agricultural landscape
(MDPI, 2021)
Land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes are major drivers of biodiversity loss in semi-arid
regions, such as the Caatinga biome located in the Northeast of Brazil. We investigated landscape
dynamics and fragmentation in ...
Final Gondwana breakup: The Paleogene South American native ungulates and the demise of the South America–Antarctica land connection
(Elsevier Science, 2014-11)
The biogeographic hypothesis more accepted today is that Antarctica (West Antarctica) and southern South America (Magellan region, Patagonia) were connected by a long and narrow causeway (Weddellian Isthmus) between the ...

Influence of land-use/land-cover change on landscape connectivity for an endemic threatened amphibian (Argenteohyla siemersi pederseni, Anura: Hylidae)
(Springer, 2020-05)
Context: Modifications in natural landcover generally result in a loss of habitat availability for wildlife and it’s persistence will depend largely on their spatial configuration and functional connections. Argenteohyla ...

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 ...
Study of the relationship between roads, relief, land use, and natural vegetation in the Ibiuna Plateau - SP, focusing on landscape ecology
(FUNDACAO BOTICARIO PROTECAO NATUREZA, 2009)
Roads facilitate access by deforestation agents, being relevant in studies approaching conservationist matters in rainforests. It is important to understand the relationship between road distribution, relief, land use, and ...
The hamburger connection hangover: cattle, pasture land degradation and alternative land use in Central America
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2000)
In the past few decades, pasture expansion into the humid lowlands of Central America has increased greatly and has raised a great deal of concern about deforestation and potential land degradation. However, little information ...
Suitability index for restoration in landscapes: An alternative proposal for restoration projects
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-01-01)
Forest fragmentation constitutes one of the main consequences of land cover change worldwide. Through this process gaps in habitat coverage are created and the ability of populations in the remaining fragments to maintain ...
