Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “Since movements longer than 1,000 m are rarely observed for small mammals in the Atlantic forest (Pires et al. 2002), capture results can be considered independent among study sites.”
Determinants of differential extinction vulnerabilities of small mammals in Atlantic forest fragments in Brazil (2004, background): “On the other hand, the forest-dwelling species that best persisted in the fragments were marsupials, which were able to use the landscape in a larger scale, moving often among fragments ( Pires et al., 2002 ).”
Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “, 2007), disturbance-adapted and generalist frugivorous bats (Gorresen and Willig, 2004), matrix-tolerant marsupials (Pires et al., 2002), edge-tolerant and gap-crossing birds (Anjos, 2006; Awade and Metzger, 2008), edge-dwelling butterflies (Uehara-Prado et al.”
Amphibians in a human-dominated landscape: the community structure is related to habitat features and isolation (2004, background): “Successful colonization of patches within a fragmented landscape is generally shown by the more mobile species living in fragments, able to cross the matrix (Sarre et al., 1995; Johst et al., 2002; Pires et al., 2002 ), by species living in the matrix between patches and having high resilience to h”
Structure, function and floristic relationships of plant communities in stressful habitats marginal to the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. (2002, background): “In the case of mammals, the only two studies on large-scale movements in the landscape (Pires and Fernandez, 1999; Pires et al., 2002) report movements of marsupials and rodents between isolated forest fragments in the Atlantic forest lowlands where the swamps are located.”
Theory meets reality: How habitat fragmentation research has transcended island biogeographic theory (2008, background): “4) (Laurance, 1990, 1991; Gascon et al., 1999; Nupp and Swihart, 2000; Pires et al., 2002; Sekercioglu et al., 2002; Brashares, 2003; Koh et al., 2004; Antongiovanni and Metzger, 2005).”
Testing the habitat amount hypothesis for South American small mammals (2017, background): “This is supported by the many studies showing species frequently cross patch boundaries (Mabry and Barrett, 2002; Pires et al., 2002; Selonen and Hanski, 2003; Cook et al., 2004; Awade and Metzger, 2008; Lees and Peres, 2009).”
AMAZONIAN SMALL MAMMAL ABUNDANCES IN RELATION TO HABITAT STRUCTURE AND RESOURCE ABUNDANCE (2006, background): “Pires et al. (2002) found M. demerarae became more restricted to the interior of forest fragments after fire disturbance to the forest edge, and Pardini (2004) found M. demerarae to be more common in mature forest areas.”
Effects of forest fragmentation on small mammals in an Atlantic Forest landscape (2004, background): “of this long-standing habitat destruction and fragmentation on mammals are the focus of comparatively few studies (Fonseca and Robinson 1990; Chiarello 1999; Pires et al. 2002 ).”
The role of forest structure, fragment size and corridors in maintaining small mammal abundance and diversity in an Atlantic forest landscape (2005, background): “…anthropogenic open habitats (Stallings, 1989; Stevens and Husband, 1998; Feliciano et al., 2002), and the rates of movement of individuals among Atlantic forest fragments surrounded by open fields are low (Pires et al., 2002), leading to extinctions in small fragments (Castro and Fernandez, 2004).”
