Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “Therefore, disturbed-forest habitats alone often fail to support viable populations of forest-specialists, forest-dependent or disturbance-sensitive species (hereafter forestobligate species), including many endemic and threatened species (Zurita et al., 2006; Bihn et al., 2008; Faria et al., 2009).”
Conservation value of forest plantations for bird communities in western Kenya (2008, methodology): “We used one abundance-based and several incidence-based estimators (Sekercioglu, 2002; Peh et al., 2006; Zurita et al., 2006; Barlow et al., 2007; O’Dea andWhittaker, 2007).”
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: A Shrinking Biodiversity Hotspot (2011, background): “In other cases, unfortunately more common nowadays, is proved to be “beast,” where management is only focused on high productivity not always sustainable in social and environmental aspects (Zurita et al. 2006).”
Plant and bird diversity in natural forests and in native and exotic plantations in NW Portugal (2010, background): “The higher richness and diversity of forest species found in natural forest is in agreement with other studies that also compared communities in natural forest and in forest plantations (Bongiorno, 1982; Pina, 1989; Tellería and Galarza, 1990; Kwok and Corlett, 2000; Lindenmayer et al., 2003; Atauri”
