Biogeographical relationships among tropical forests in north‐eastern Brazil (2007, background): “Such isolation has permitted the evolution of a unique biota which is currently inhabited by a myriad of endemic genera and species (Rizzini, 1997; Silva & Casteletti, 2003).”
Ferns, frogs, lizards, birds and bats in forest fragments and shade cacao plantations in two contrasting landscapes in the Atlantic forest, Brazil (2007, background): “These lowland remnant forests are known to be centers of endemism and diversification for animals and plants (e.g., Thomas et al. 1998), encompassing one of the richest pockets of biodiversity along the entire Atlantic coast (da Silva and Casteleti 2003).”
Thresholds in the relationship between functional diversity and patch size for mammals in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2015, unknown): “…various sizes (min = 1 ha, med = 3900 ha, max = 85 000 ha) representing the major gradients [latitude (min = 8°42′26″S, max = 30°16′04″S), longitude (min = 35°50′27″W, max = 53°53′41″W), elevation (min = 5 m, max = 1400 m)] and biogeographic regions of the Atlantic Forest (Silva & Casteleti, 2003).”
