Chronic anthropogenic disturbance drives the biological impoverishment of the Brazilian Caatinga vegetation (2015, background): “Finally, as already demonstrated in the case of habitat loss and creation of forest edges in tropical forests (Lôbo et al. 2011; Tabarelli et al. 2012), few plant species benefit and may eventually proliferate in chronically disturbed habitats.”
The Homogocene: a research prospectus for the study of biotic homogenisation (2018, background): “For example, logging forest fragmentation was the dominant driver of taxonomic homogenisation in Brazilian Atlantic forests (Lôbo et al. 2011) and phylogenetic homogenisation in Cambodian forests (Toyama et al. 2015), fish faunal homogenisation of Australia was highly concordant with dam…”
The 'few winners and many losers' paradigm revisited: Emerging prospects for tropical forest biodiversity (2012, background): “The species composition of these forests tend to converge at the landscape scale both taxonomically and in terms of functional groups (Santos et al., 2010), thereby contributing to the taxonomic homogenization of tree assemblages/floras at regional scales (Lôbo et al., 2011).”
Chronic anthropogenic disturbance causes homogenization of plant and ant communities in the Brazilian Caatinga (2016, background): “Biotic homogenization can be driven by the rearrangement of native floras and faunas in response to anthropogenic disturbance (Lobo et al. 2011), as disturbance adapted species become highly prolific across the disturbed area.”
Maintenance of tree phylogenetic diversity in a highly fragmented rain forest (2012, background): “…clearly contrasts with that offered by those approaches based on species richness, from which human-modified landscapes tend to exhibit limited conservation value due to drastic reductions on the number of tree species from local (Santos et al. 2008) to regional levels (Lôbo et al. 2011).”
