Gap‐crossing movements predict species occupancy in Amazonian forest fragments (2009, methodology): “1990); geographic range size (Birdlife International 2006); degree of primary forest dependence (Lees and Peres 2006); flocking tendency (after Hilty 2002, pers.”
The 'few winners and many losers' paradigm revisited: Emerging prospects for tropical forest biodiversity (2012, background): “Several faunal taxa have already been identified as ‘losers’ in tropical forests, such as large-bodied mammals (Peres and Palacios, 2007), understorey birds (Lees and Peres, 2006) and specialized dung beetles (Nichols et al.”
Avian life‐history determinants of local extinction risk in a hyper‐fragmented neotropical forest landscape (2008, methodology): “…hyper-fragmented landscape – where the relative contribution of patch and landscape characteristics in structuring species assemblages is largely understood (Lees & Peres, 2006) – examining which behavioural and lifehistory traits determine species persistence in variably sized forest patches.”
Effects of fragmentation on pollinator abundance and fruit set of an abundant understory palm in a Mexican tropical forest (2008, background): “…on changes in species diversity or abundance of some groups of organisms, particularly birds and mammals (e.g., Ferraz et al., 2007; Corlett, 2006; Lees and Peres, 2006) and plants (Scariot, 1999; Laurance et al., 2000; Hill and Curran, 2005; Cagnolo et al., 2006; Laurance et al., 2006).”
Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation (2014, background): “Previous studies have shown that avian species richness declines with forest fragment size, approximately in accordance with classic species-area relationships (e.g. Lees and Peres, 2006; Banks-Leite et al., 2012).”
Assessment of large-vertebrate species richness and relative abundance in Neotropical forest using line-transect censuses: what is the minimal effort required? (2008, unknown): “Methods available include presence/absence data, capture/ marking/recapture, point methods, index plots, track counts, photoidentiWcation, molecular DNA typing, strip transects, and line-transect sampling (e.g., Wilson et al. 1996; Silveira et al. 2003; Tosh et al. 2004; Smallwood and Fitzhugh 1995;”
Avian biodiversity in multiple-use landscapes of the Brazilian Amazon (2013, background): “Birds are excellent indicators of the ecological consequences of disturbance because their ecology is relatively well known, they are relatively easy to identify and cheap to survey (provided expert field observers can be sourced), and they exhibit a broad range of interspecific responses to human i”
