High mammal species turnover in forest patches immersed in biofuel plantations (2017, background): “The jaguar, an apex predator, is possibly absent in most of these landscapes (Jorge et al., 2013; Paviolo et al., 2016), but it still occurs in our landscape retaining themost amount of forest cover (Paviolo et al., 2016).”
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of living in a defaunated world (2013, background): “, 2013) or species distribution modeling (Jorge et al., 2013).”
Defaunation and biomass collapse of mammals in the largest Atlantic forest remnant (2017, background): “…species (Brachyteles arachnoides, Callithrix aurita, Mazama bororo, Leopardus guttulus) or species that have vanished from most of the Atlantic forest (Tayassu peccari, Speothos venaticus, Panthera onca) (Duarte et al., 2012; Keuroghlian et al., 2012; Galetti et al., 2013; Ingberman et al., 2016).”
Thresholds in the relationship between functional diversity and patch size for mammals in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2015, background): “…and indirectly on structuring and maintenance of natural environments through fundamental ecosystem services such as seed dispersal and predation (Jorge et al., 2013), there are no records about the existence of thresholds for the response of medium- and large-sized mammals to landscape…”
