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 ...
Multi-scale homogenization of caddisfly metacomminities in human-modified landscapes
(Springer, 2018-02-05)
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Land-use changes lead to functional loss of terrestrial mammals in a Neotropical rainforest
(2021-04-01)
Land-use changes are a main driver of modifications in tropical ecosystems, leading to the loss of species and ecological traits and affecting key ecological functions. Although much attention has been given to predict the ...
Effects of native forest and human-modified land covers on the accumulation of toxic metals and metalloids in the tropical bee Tetragonisca angustula
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-06-01)
The intensive shift on land cover by anthropogenic activities have led to changes in natural habitats and environmental contamination, which can ultimately impact and threat biodiversity and ecosystem services, such as ...
Human-modified landscapes narrow the isotopic niche of neotropical birds
(Springer, 2021-04-09)
Deforestation and habitat loss resulting from land use changes are some of the utmost anthropogenic impacts that threaten tropical birds in human-modified landscapes (HMLs). The degree of these impacts on birds' diet, ...
