Patch‐ and landscape‐scale effects on howler monkey distribution and abundance in rainforest fragments (2007, background): “Scarcity in both the quantity and quality of resources within forest fragments may be ameliorated by animal movements between adjacent fragments (Brito & de Viveiros Grelle, 2004; Pardini et al., 2005).”
Thresholds in the relationship between functional diversity and patch size for mammals in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2015, background): “It is known that patch size affects abundance and diversity of mammal species (August, 1983; Pardini et al., 2005; Michalski & Peres, 2007), but there is little information on thresholds regarding this relationship; for example, what is the limit of habitat loss or patch size reduction that a specie”
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): “For example, while bat abundance and richness are inversely correlated to understory density in Atlantic forest patches (Faria, 2002), the abundance and richness of non-volant small mammals are often positively correlated with understory density in neotropical forests (Malcolm, 1995; Pardini et al.,”
EVALUATING THE EFFICIENCY OF PITFALL TRAPS FOR SAMPLING SMALL MAMMALS IN THE NEOTROPICS (2006, background): “…few studies in Africa (Goodman and Rakotondravony 2000; Maddock 1992; Raxworthy and Nussbaum 1994; Stephenson 1993; Stephenson et al. 1994), in Australia (Laurance 1992), and in South America (Hice and Schmidly 2002; Lyra-Jorge and Pivello 2001; Pardini 2004; Pardini et al. 2005; Voss et al. 2001).”
Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic diversity and connectivity among toad populations in the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest (2009, background): “We studied this species in forests on the Ibiúna Plateau, a highly developed region in southwestern Brazil that still harbors both large continuous tracts as well as forest fragments (Dixo, 2005; Pardini et al., 2005).”
Impact of landscape composition and configuration on forest specialist and generalist bird species in the fragmented Lacandona rainforest, Mexico (2015, background): “Finally, regarding the composition of the landscape matrix, secondary forests are expected to contain more resources and refuges for both specialist and generalist birds than other covers of the matrix (Stouffer and Bierregard 1995; Pardini et al., 2005; Banks-Leite et al., 2010); thus, we predicted”
Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “These species have been found in anthropogenic habitats and highly disturbed forest fragments in the Atlantic forest biome (Katz et al. 2001; Bonvicino et al. 2002; Feliciano et al. 2002; Pardini et al. 2005), but not in the Amazon”
Time-lag in biological responses to landscape changes in a highly dynamic Atlantic forest region (2009, methodology): “Fragment size and connectivity are among the key landscape factors that affect species survival in fragmented landscapes (Metzger, 2000; Ewers and Didham, 2006; Pardini et al., 2005; Uezu et al., 2005; Fischer and Lindenmayer, 2007; Martensen et al., 2008).”
Predictors of forest fragmentation sensitivity in Neotropical vertebrates: a quantitative review (2011, background): “…fragments ind Table 2: no significant difference in abundance between small + large fragments O. laticeps missing because feeding guild could not be detected Pardini et al. 2005 ind Table 1: no significant differences in species’ abundance between differently sized fragments neg Table 1 + Fig.”
Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “Defaunation resulting from either direct depletion or habitat loss may impose severe seed dispersal limitations concomitant with high rates of seed predation among tree populations stranded along forest edges and small forest fragments as these edge-affected habitats often lack large frugivorous ver”
Ferns, frogs, lizards, birds and bats in forest fragments and shade cacao plantations in two contrasting landscapes in the Atlantic forest, Brazil (2007, background): “Lower dispersal rates and decreasing fragment size have previously been shown to result in increased beta diversity for small mammals in fragmented landscapes (Pardini et al. 2005; Ewers and Didham 2006).”
