• Recovery of amphibian, reptile, bird and mammal diversity during secondary forest succession in the tropics (2019, methodology): “For the vertebrates, systematic reviews suggest that species richness can reach levels comparable to old growth forest in 20–40 years, but species composition recovers at a much slower rate (Dunn 2004, Dent and Wright 2009, Curran et al.”
• Understanding the biodiversity consequences of habitat change: the value of secondary and plantation forests for neotropical dung beetles (2007, methodology): “…conversion of primary forest for intensive agriculture inevitably leads to dramatic losses in biodiversity, conservation biologists are far less certain about the conservation value of more structurally complex secondary and planted forests (Dunn 2004; Wright & Muller-Landau 2006; Gardner et al .”
• Increasing world consumption of beef as a driver of regional and global change: A call for policy action based on evidence from Queensland (Australia), Colombia and Brazil (2009, background): “Many tropical and sub-tropical forests have the resilience to recover through natural or managed successional paths (Dunn, 2004; Lamb et al., 2005; Bowen et al., 2007).”
• The value of primary, secondary and plantation forests for fruit-feeding butterflies in the Brazilian Amazon (2007, background): “Hartley 2002; Dunn 2004; Lindenmayer & Hobbs 2004; Gardner et al . 2007).”
• The Potential for Species Conservation in Tropical Secondary Forests (2009, background): “Recovery of animal taxa is also likely to depend on recovery of vegetation (Dunn 2004).”
• Large-vertebrate assemblages of primary and secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon (2007, background): “Email: l.parry@uea.ac.uk 1999, Vandermeer & Perfecto 1997, but see Dunn 2004), and they remain poorly studied in the Amazon.”
• Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, methodology): “…potentially bias estimates of species richness (Gotelli and Colwell, 2001), we were unable to rarefy these values across every study; instead we attempted to minimize the influence of this bias by presenting data on a per-trap basis, and with the use of internally standardized values (Dunn, 2004a).”
• Abandonment of agricultural land: an overview of drivers and consequences (2007, background): “As abandonment promotes the population decline of species adapted to open spaces, it favours the populations and diversity of species characteristic of woody vegetation habitats, namely shrubland and forest [73, 91, 114, 115] and of soil fauna [116].”
• Evaluating the Effectiveness of Herpetofaunal Sampling Techniques across a Gradient of Habitat Change in a Tropical Forest Landscape (2008, background): “…limitations of sampling design (including detection biases associated with the use of particular methods) have partly confounded attempts to provide robust evaluations of the value of converted and degraded forest land for biodiversity (Dunn, 2004; Barlow et al., 2007; Gardner et al., 2007b,c).”
• Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “In a review of the effects of tropical forest regeneration on different faunal groups, Dunn (2004) concluded that during forest regeneration there is a general increase in species richness and in a relatively short time secondary forests can harbor animal assemblages similar to those of mature…”
• Litter fall and decomposition in primary, secondary and plantation forests in the Brazilian Amazon. (2007, neutral): “Chazdon, 2003; Dunn, 2004; Gardner et al., 2007).”
• Basin‐Wide Effects of Game Harvest on Vertebrate Population Densities in Amazonian Forests: Implications for Animal‐Mediated Seed Dispersal (2007, background): “…the large-bodied component of tropical forest faunas (Fa & Peres 2001), which contributes a disproportionate fraction of the aggregate vertebrate biomass (Eisenberg 1980, Peres 1999a) and processes that regulate ecosystem dynamics (e.g., Terborgh 1992, Roldán & Simonetti 2001, Silman et al. 2003).”
• Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “Dunn (2004) predicted that the species richness of regenerating forest can resemble mature forest within 20–40 years, although there are very few studies with sufficiently long-term time series to support this prediction for amphibians and reptiles, and it is likely that much longer time scales are…”
