Forest loss or management intensification? Identifying causes of mammal decline in cacao agroforests (2014, background): “Shade removal, which negatively affects the richness and abundance of native assemblages (Bos et al., 2007; Clough et al., 2009b; Harvey et al., 2006), is especially common in cacao plantations, as cacao shrubs become less sensitive to sun with age (Tscharntke et al.”
Biodiversity in small-scale tropical agroforests: a review of species richness and abundance shifts and the factors influencing them (2008, background): “As well as occupying huge swathes of land and sustaining large numbers of people, most protected areas in the tropics are occupied by indigenous people (Nepal 2002; Harvey et al. 2006), making it essential for conservationists to understand the impacts of the small-scale agriculture they practise.”
Can agroforest woodlots work as stepping stones for birds in the Atlantic forest region? (2008, background): “…woodlots, from the perspective of conservation, are a better alternative for part of the avifauna (generalist species) than the traditional agriculture system implanted in the region 50 years ago, as observed for diVerent taxonomic groups in other landscapes (Harvey et al. 2006; Raman 2006).”
Large Mammals in an Agroforestry Mosaic in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “The decline of large-bodied animals has been previously explained by the local depletion of game stocks (Jerozolimski & Peres 2003), and has also been reported in other landscapes with a high proportion of agroforestry systems (Harvey et al. 2006, Bali et al. 2007).”
Agroforestry systems conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats (2007, background): “Previous studies of other animal taxa within the plantain monocultures (Harvey et al. 2006a) have similarly reported very low species richness and highly modified assemblages of terrestrial mammals and dung beetles, reinforcing the notion that plantain monocultures have little, if any, value for…”
Ecological, economic and social perspectives on cocoa production worldwide (2007, background): “It remains unclear whether interior forest species can be supported by cabruca systems or whether individuals of those species are simply present due to constant re-colonization from nearby source forest patches (see also Harvey et al. 2006).”
Shaded Coffee and Cocoa : Double Dividend for Biodiversity and Small-scale Farmers (2017, background): “…that these systems have a considerable potential to conserve biodiversity, as complex agroforestry systems have been reported to sustain species richness equivalent to N60% of that of natural forests (Bhagwat et al., 2008; Harvey et al., 2006;Moguel and Toledo, 1999; Rice and Greenberg, 2000).”
