Habitat fragmentation narrows the distribution of avian functional traits associated with seed dispersal in tropical forest (2018, background): “…conservation strategies Previous studies have concluded that habitat patch sizes above 2050 ha maintain high functional diversity of medium- and largesized mammals (Magioli et al., 2015), and that 30–50% of forest cover maintain vertebrate richness in the Atlantic Forest (BanksLeite et al., 2014).”
High mammal species turnover in forest patches immersed in biofuel plantations (2017, methodology): “These remnants aremostly isolated due to agricultural expansion, influencing the number of species that can survive within fragments (Magioli et al., 2015).”
Testing the habitat amount hypothesis for South American small mammals (2017, background): “Despite this, patch size and isolation are still consistently used to evaluate effects of habitat loss in terrestrial systems (e.g. Petit et al., 2004; Guldemond and van Aarde, 2010; Munguía-Rosas and Montiel, 2014; Magioli et al., 2015).”
