The thrill of the chase: uncovering illegal sport hunting in Brazil through YouTube™ posts (2015, background): “Along with the Atlantic Forest, the Cerrado is considered a hotspot of biodiversity (Myers et al. 2000), and because these biomes suffer intensely from habitat fragmentation, the impacts of hunting are amplified in these environments (Peres 2001).”
Differential Effects of Hunting on Pre‐Dispersal Seed Predation and Primary and Secondary Seed Removal of Two Neotropical Tree Species (2007, background): “Habitat loss due to forest fragmentation decreases abundances of important mammal and bird seed dispersers (Laurance & Bierregaard 1997, Cordeiro & Howe 2001), and acts synergistically with hunting (Peres 2001).”
Rapid avifaunal collapse along the Amazonian deforestation frontier (2006, methodology): “Consequently, such forest remnants are highly variable in size, degree of connectivity, and levels of anthropogenic disturbance, including logging, surface fires and hunting (Peres and Michalski, 2006), all of which can compound the effects of fragmentation (Nepstad et al., 1999; Peres, 2001; Coch”
Seed dispersal by spider monkeys and its importance in the maintenance of neotropical rain-forest diversity (2006, background): “Spider monkeys are some of the most vulnerable primates to habitat destruction, fragmentation, and hunting (Defler et al. 2003, Peres 1990, 2000, 2001; Peres & Dolman 2000, Stevenson et al. 2005), and all of these impacts have potentially disruptive implications for ecological processes in tropical…”
Bringing home the biggest bacon: a cross-site analysis of the structure of hunter-kill profiles in Neotropical forests (2003, background): “…in assessing patterns of prey choice because indirect capture devices such as snares and nets, which are often used in paleotropical forests (Fa and Peres, 2001), result in different selectivities that cannot be easily compared with kills obtained from direct encounters between hunters and…”
Anthropogenic determinants of primate and carnivore local extinctions in a fragmented forest landscape of southern Amazonia (2005, background): “…in size, degree of connectivity and level of human disturbance, and have since often been affected by forest fires, timber extraction and game hunting (Peres and Michalski, in press), all of which may compound the effects of fragmentation (Nepstad et al., 1999; Peres, 2001; Cochrane et al., 2002).”
Domestic dogs shape the landscape-scale distribution of a threatened forest ungulate (2012, background): “For example, it could have implications for prey viability similar in scale and intensity to those defined by retaliatory hunting on carnivores (Woodroffe andGinsberg, 1998) and subsistence hunting on vertebrates (Peres, 2001).”
Priority areas for the conservation of Atlantic forest large mammals (2009, background): “The effect of hunting pressure is expected to be greater in landbridge islands and isolated forest patches because immigration into these sites from neighbouring source areas cannot balance or restock wildlife populations depleted by game hunters (Peres, 2001).”
Combined effects of climate and land‐use change on the future of humid tropical forests (2010, background): “…Shearman et al. 2008), removes less forest cover than deforestation, but creates a cascade of changes including elevated hunting pressure on fauna, disruption of seed dispersal, and forest desiccation that facilitates fire (Nepstad et al. 1999; Wilkie et al. 2000; Peres 2001; Terborgh et al. 2008).”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Nondomesticated birds have been important components of human diets historically (Moss & Bowers 2007), and many are still today (Peres 2001).”
Landscape matrix and species traits mediate responses of Neotropical resident birds to forest fragmentation in Jamaica (2010, background): “Third, anthropogenic land use disturbance, such as hunting, logging, noise, and burning in remaining habitat patches, may vary as a function of matrix type (i.e., disturbance hypothesis) (Hobbs 2001, Laurance and Cochrane 2001, Peres 2001).”
Game mammals of the Caatinga biome (2016, background): “This number of factors worsens the population decline of bigger mammals in different biomes, interfering directly with their diversity and resources (Chiarello 1999; Lopes and Ferrari 2000; Michalski and Peres 2007, 2001).”
Conservation Biology for All (2010, background): “For example, in Amazonian forests, subsistence hunting by people compounds the effects of forest fragmentation for large vertebrates such as the lowland tapir (Tapir terrestris) and white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari), and contributes to their local extinction (Peres 2001).”
Forest fragmentation, synergisms and the impoverishment of neotropical forests (2004, background): “In these regions, habitat fragmentation usually provides better accessibility to forest resources and thus facilitates hunting (Chiarello 1999; Robinson et al. 1999; Silva and Tabarelli 2000; Peres 2001b), subsistence and industrial logging (Nepstad et al.”
