• Habitat structure and proximity to forest edge affect the abundance and distribution of forest-dependent birds in tropical coastal forests of southeastern Madagascar (2004, background): “The eight categories defined in Table 1 were chosen to represent a wide range of vertical structure, tree density and habitat complexity measurements, all of which are affected when a habitat is degraded by human activity, such as fire wood collection (Bentley and Catteral, 1997; Cadotte et al., 200”
• Species Review of Amphibian Extinction Risks in Madagascar: Conclusions from the Global Amphibian Assessment (2005, background): “Nonetheless, habitat alteration can quantitatively affect the species composition of communities over brief time scales (Andreone 1994; Vallan 2000b, 2002).”
• Patterns of species change in anthropogenically disturbed forests of Madagascar (2010, background): “But again, species typical of pristine rainforest were replaced by species adapted to secondary habitats (Vallan et al., 2004).”

(2007, background): “…primary forest, although one half to two-thirds of primary forest species in a given landscape were recorded in secondary forest (Crump, 1971; Lieberman, 1986; Bowman et al., 1990; Heinen, 1992; Petranka et al., 1993; Tocher et al., 2002; Vallan, 2002; Ashton et al., 2006; Gardner et al., 2007b).”
