Scarabaeine Dung Beetles (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): An Invertebrate Focal Taxon for Biodiversity Research and Conservation (2006, background): “…vertebrate and invertebrate taxa have shown that Scarabaeinae, in tandem with vascular plants and other selected taxa, may provide optimal information as surrogates for total biodiversity and for the selection of areas for conservation (Moritz et al. 2001; Oliver et al. 1998; Pineda et al. 2005).”
Agriculture and biodiversity conservation: opportunity knocks (2008, background): “A wide range of studies have described biodiversity changes along this gradient, or parts of this gradient, in different regions (Moguel & Toledo 1999; Perfecto et al. 2003; Gillison et al. 2004; Tejeda-Cruz & Sutherland 2004; Pineda et al. 2005).”
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): “The potential of modified habitats to harbor forest species, however, varies among biological groups (Schulze et al., 2004; Pineda et al., 2005; Harvey et al., 2006; Faria et al., 2006, 2007).”
The adoption of silvopastoral systems promotes the recovery of ecological processes regulated by dung beetles in the Colombian Andes (2011, background): “This simplification results in the loss of species and changes in the dynamics of several ecological processes that are key to the Correspondence: Federico Escobar, Red de Ecoetologı́a, Instituto de Ecologı́a, A.

The contribution of cacao agroforests to the conservation of lower canopy ant and beetle diversity in Indonesia (2007, background): “Assessments of tropical biodiversity that have included agroforests have often found high levels of species richness within these systems, even resembling that of undisturbed tropical forests for certain groups (e.g., Perfecto et al. 1997; Lawton et al. 1998; Schulze et al. 2004; Pineda et al. 2005”
Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “…amphibian and reptile species than in neighbouring primary forest, both for temperate (Hanlin et al., 2000) and sub-tropical systems (Glor et al., 2001; Parris and Lindenmayer, 2004; Pawar et al., 2004; Pineda and Halffter, 2004; Pineda et al., 2005; Kanowski et al., 2006; Gardner et al., 2007b).”

Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “Pineda et al. (2005) compared the bat fauna of Mexican cloud forest fragments and shade coffee plantations and found that both habitats had very similar species richness and composition, although there were changes in the species’ rank order between habitats.”

Effects of different secondary vegetation types on bat community composition in Central Amazonia, Brazil (2010, background): “In general, fragments, secondary forests and man-made habitats such as plantations and pastures are rich in species and have equally great abundances of some bats as in continuous forest (Estrada & Coates-Estrada, 2002; Numa et al., 2005; Pineda et al., 2005; Faria, 2006; Willig et al., 2007).”
Ferns, frogs, lizards, birds and bats in forest fragments and shade cacao plantations in two contrasting landscapes in the Atlantic forest, Brazil (2007, background): “…inventories have reported variation in the response of species assemblages to habitat disturbance gradients (Lawton et al. 1998; Harvey et al. 2006) and agroforests (Schulze et al. 2004; Pineda et al. 2005), though none has assessed the effect of the landscape context on local biodiversity.”
