Thresholds in the relationship between functional diversity and patch size for mammals in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2015, background): “, 2009), and their lack could augment biodiversity erosion in modified environments (Michalski & Peres, 2007; Tabarelli et al., 2010).”
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: A Shrinking Biodiversity Hotspot (2011, background): “Recently, Tabarelli et al. (2010) quantified the original and present forest distribution across elevation ranges for the entire Atlantic Forest.”
The 'few winners and many losers' paradigm revisited: Emerging prospects for tropical forest biodiversity (2012, background): “…and abiotic factors (Laurance et al., 2006; Norden et al., 2009; Aguiar and Tabarelli, 2010) indicate that many plant groups are unable to flourish or even persist in edge-affected habitats within landscapes dominated by nonforest areas (see Tabarelli et al. (2010b) for an Atlantic Forest review).”
Forest fragmentation drives Atlantic forest of northeastern Brazil to biotic homogenization (2011, background): “As continental tropical forests apparently support few exotic invasive plants (Teo et al., 2003), BH caused by the rearrangement of native floras is likely to be the more frequent but equally disturbing as proliferation of exotic species (see Tabarelli et al., 2010b).”
