• The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: A Shrinking Biodiversity Hotspot (2011, background): “In fact, few tropical biodiversity hotspots are “hotter” than the Atlantic Forest in terms of both existing threats and conservation value (Laurance 2009), despite its 700 protected areas (Galindo-Leal and Câmara 2003), which however protect only 1.62% of the region (Ribeiro et al. 2009).”
• Indirect effects of habitat loss via habitat fragmentation: A cross-taxa analysis of forest-dependent species (2020, background): “…hierarchical and nonlinear relationships with a comprehensive, multi-taxa database including 2230 estimates of forest-dependent species richness, obtained at 1097 different sampling sites throughout the Atlantic Forest, a top-ranked biodiversity hotspot (Mittermeier et al., 2004; Laurance, 2009).”

• A landscape approach for cost‐effective large‐scale forest restoration (2018, background): “…(Freitas, Guidotti & Sparovek 2017); v) has only 12% forest 113 cover remaining (Ribeiro et al. 2009); vi) is a top five global hotspot for biodiversity 114 conservation (Laurance 2009); and vii) urgently requires restoration to mitigate a high species 115 extinction debt (Banks-Leite et al. 2014).”
• Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “Actually, the Atlantic Forest has already provided a substantial research contribution in terms of tropical forest ecology, the biological dynamics of hyper-fragmented forest landscapes, and conservation science issues ranging from assisted habitat restoration to regional scale conservation planning”
