Avian biodiversity in multiple-use landscapes of the Brazilian Amazon (2013, background): “Occasional detections of nominally forest species, such as Blackand-white – Hawk-eagle (Spizaetus melanoleucus) utilising nonforest habitats, does not necessarily indicate that these species can persist in the absence of neighbouring forest patches, and many such detections might be better considere”
Testing the habitat amount hypothesis for South American small mammals (2017, background): “The idea that forest patches naturally delineate populations can thus be questioned, as numerous studies show that many species frequently cross the border between forest patch and surrounding matrix (e.g. Mabry and Barrett, 2002; Pires et al., 2002; Selonen and Hanski, 2003; Cook et al., 2004; Awad”
Frequent bird movements across a highly fragmented landscape: the role of species traits and forest matrix (2013, background): “…birds, as highly mobile species, are often considered to be less affected by fragmentation than other taxonomic groups of lower mobility (Harris & Reed, 2002; Price, 2006; Lees & Peres, 2009; Marini, 2010), they can actually exhibit sensitivity to fragmentation in many biomes (Gibson et al., 2011).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “Theability to fly longdistances allows large-bodied frugivores to connect habitat patches (Lees and Peres, 2009; Spiegel and Nathan, 2007).”
Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “Constraints on mobility include limited locomotive ability or reluctance to cross gaps (Hinsley, 2000; Goldingay & Taylor, 2009; Lees & Peres, 2009).”
Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation (2014, background): “…commonly cited predictors of sensitivity to fragmentation is dispersal limitation, as this reduces the potential for gap-crossing and re-colonisation after extinction events (Fahrig and Merriam, 1994; Thomas, 2000; Lees and Peres, 2009), thus disrupting key metacommunity processes (Hanski, 1999).”
High mammal species turnover in forest patches immersed in biofuel plantations (2017, background): “, 1999; Chiarello, 2000), affectingmatrix fluxes according to the dispersal capacity of each species (Lees and Peres, 2009).”
Spatial statistics, spatial regression, and graph theory in ecology (2012, background): “As such the MPG can serve as a movement hypothesis of stepping-stone behaviour (Haddad, 2000; Boscolo et al., 2008; Lees and Peres, 2009) whereby traversing the graph requires stepping-stone paths through topological neighbours (Urban et al., 2009).”
Predicting local extinctions of Amazonian vertebrates in forest islands created by a mega dam (2015, background): “…results in an archipelagic landscape, species persistence in isolated forest patches embedded in entirely terrestrial landscapes is also strongly associated with their ability to traverse, if not exploit, the vegetation matrix (Gascon et al., 1999; Michalski and Peres, 2005; Lees and Peres, 2009).”
The Potential for Species Conservation in Tropical Secondary Forests (2009, background): “Volant invertebrates and vertebrates (butterflies, birds, and bats) are often highly adept at crossing wide gaps (Lees & Peres 2009) and typically show the highest rates of successional influx, which reflects the higher vagility of these taxa.”
