Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “Similar patterns of species loss and replacement with increasing modification of tropical forest have been documented for multiple taxa (Liow et al., 2001 and Scott et al., 2006).”
Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “…undisturbed habitat (our nearest estimate of ‘‘wild nature’’ Balmford and Bond, 2005) is already gone (Lenart et al., 1997; Germano et al., 2003; Pineda et al., 2005; Scott et al., 2006; and see Gardner et al., 2007a), and elsewhere we are faced with a rapidly closing window of opportunity.”
Patterns of species change in anthropogenically disturbed forests of Madagascar (2010, background): “Herpetological diversity decreases in highly disturbed areas, e.g. where intense clearing and burning have produced degraded secondary forest, forest mosaic, or plantations (Glos et al., 2008b; Jenkins et al., 2003; Scott et al., 2006; Vallan, 2002; Vallan et al., 2004).”
