Bats in the Anthropogenic Matrix: Challenges and Opportunities for the Conservation of Chiroptera and Their Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes (2016, background): “During lactation, small bat species consume 75 % to over 100 % of their body weight each night (Kurta et al. 1989; Kunz et al. 1995, 2011), and a single maternity colony of 1 million Brazilian free-tailed bats is capable of consuming over 8 tons of insects per night (Kunz et al. 2011).”
Shaded Coffee and Cocoa : Double Dividend for Biodiversity and Small-scale Farmers (2017, background): “Some studies reported a decline in biodiversity when coffee or cacao management intensifies (e.g. Faria et al., 2007; Gardner et al., 2009), whereas other studies did not find such an overall effect (e.g. Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2007; Gordon et al., 2007).”
Forest loss or management intensification? Identifying causes of mammal decline in cacao agroforests (2014, background): “One of these studies suggests that more forested and heterogeneous landscapes are essential for the biodiversity value of cacao agroforests (Faria et al., 2007).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “…(including frogs, lizards, small mammals and birds) are generally positively affected by the surrounding matrix (Pardini et al., 2009, and see also Faria et al., 2006, 2007), whereas the richness and abundance of shade-tolerant trees are negatively affected and decline from large to small…”
Prospects for tropical forest biodiversity in a human-modified world. (2009, background): “…maintenance of native species diversity Work on the effects of clearing old-growth forest has identified a core set of specialist forest species that are highly vulnerable to land-use change (e.g. Schulze et al. 2004; Barlow et al. 2007; Faria et al. 2007; Basset et al. 2008; Philpott et al. 2008).”
Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “, 2006), and agroforestry systems, such as the traditional shade-cocoa plantations of southern Bahia (Faria et al., 2007).”
Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “…(Numa et al. 2005), landscapes dominated by cacao agroforests and comprising reduced native forest cover may harbor impoverished bat assemblages (Faria et al. 2006; 2007), highlighting that landscape context generally plays a crucial role in determining bat species responses in tropical…”
The challenge of maintaining Atlantic forest biodiversity: A multi-taxa conservation assessment of specialist and generalist species in an agro-forestry mosaic in southern Bahia (2009, background): “Captured bats were released at the end of the sampling night ( Faria et al., 2007 ).”
