Rewilding defaunated Atlantic Forests with tortoises to restore lost seed dispersal functions
(2017-10-01)
The extinction of frugivores has been considered one of the main drivers of the disruption of important ecological processes, such as seed dispersal. Many defaunated forests are too small to restore function by reintroducing ...
Unprecedented plant species loss after a decade in fragmented subtropical Chaco Serrano forests.
(Anne Mireille Regine Duplouy, Lund University., 2018-11-28)
Current biodiversity loss is mostly caused by anthropogenic habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change, and resource exploitation. Measuring the balance of species loss and gain in remaining fragmented landscapes ...
Specific differences in habitat requirement drive responses to habitat loss and disturbance in Atlantic Forest small mammals
(Instituto de BiologiaPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Biomonitoramento (Pós-Ecologia)UFBABrasil, 2018-06-15)
As deforestation proceeds, habitat is lost in the landscape and the human-created matrix augments. Species that differ in their habitat requirements and tolerance to disturbance should not be equally affected
by habitat ...
Current and lost diversity of cultivated varieties, especially cassava, under swidden cultivation systems in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 2002)
Dispersal of forest birds and trees along the Uruguay River in southern South America
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2005-05)
The Uruguay River starts in Serra do Mar in Brazil, runs through the Paranense forest, and flows southward through grassland and savannas. It has a continuous gallery forest of 750 km from the southern border of the Paranense ...
Seed dispersal networks in tropical forest fragments: Area effects, remnant species, and interaction diversity
(2020-01-01)
Seed dispersal interactions involve key ecological processes in tropical forests that help to maintain ecosystem functioning. Yet this functionality may be threatened by increasing habitat loss, defaunation, and fragmentation. ...
Unprecedented plant species loss after a decade in fragmented subtropical Chaco serrano forests
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11)
Current biodiversity loss is mostly caused by anthropogenic habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change, and resource exploitation. Measuring the balance of species loss and gain in remaining fragmented landscapes ...
Expansion of the agricultural frontier in the largest South American Dry Forest: Identifying priority conservation areas for snakes before everything is lost
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-10)
Conservation planning relies on integrating existing knowledge, social-environmental contexts, and potential threats to identify gaps and opportunities for action. Here we present a case study on how priority areas for ...
