Questions What are the main features of the seed rain in a fragmented Atlantic forest landscape? Can seed rain species attributes (life form, dispersal mode, successional status) relate to the spatial arrangement (size and ...

Native ecosystems are continuously being transformed mostly into agricultural lands. Simultaneously, a large proportion of fields are abandoned after some years of use. Without any intervention, altered landscapes usually ...

Understanding the processes that influence tree species composition in agricultural landscapes is essential for conservation of tropical biodiversity outside of protected areas. We analyzed the effects of landscape composition ...

The spatial continuity of habitats contributes to maintaining ecological processes across human-modified landscapes. Boundaries between differently managed lands may affect species interactions, such as seed dispersal, ...

Global biodiversity is threatened by land-use changes through human activities. This is mainly due to the conversion of continuous forests into forest fragments surrounded by anthropogenic matrices. In general, sensitive ...

A conversão de áreas naturais para uso antropogênico da terra causa perda, fragmentação e degradação de habitat, as quais são as principais ameaças para a conservação de mamíferos terrestres em todo o mundo. Nesta tese ...
