Phyllostomid bats of a fragmented landscape in the north-eastern Atlantic forest, Brazil (2006, background): “In contrast, only three of the species sampled in mature forests were not reported in the shade cocoa plantations, an agricultural habitat comprising a great variety of bat species (Estrada et al. 1993, Faria & Baumgarten in press, Faria et al. 2006).”
Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “pared only forested habitats (Lindenmayer and Hobbs 2004; Pardini 2004; Faria et al. 2006).”
Ecological, economic and social perspectives on cocoa production worldwide (2007, background): “For example, cabrucas in Bahia, Brazil that are located in a landscape dominated by remnant forest are found to contain species of bats and birds similar to those found in the interior of intact tracts of native forest (Faria et al. 2006).”
Ferns, frogs, lizards, birds and bats in forest fragments and shade cacao plantations in two contrasting landscapes in the Atlantic forest, Brazil (2007, methodology): “…the forest-dwellers, (3) bird communities represented by the juxtaposition of open-area and some of the forest-interior species (Laps et al. 2003; Faria et al. 2006), and (4) rich bat assemblages comprising an large number of forestdependent, disturbance-sensitive species (Faria et al. 2006;…”
Bird functional diversity and ecosystem services in tropical forests, agroforests and agricultural areas (2012, unknown): “Shade cacao plantations in southeast Brazil had fewer species of frugivores and understorey insectivores, and more species of nectarivores and omnivores, than nearby forest fragments (Faria et al. 2006).”
Bats in the Anthropogenic Matrix: Challenges and Opportunities for the Conservation of Chiroptera and Their Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes (2016, background): “A few investigations have confirmed such interactions between farm- and landscape-level intensification: Intensification in cacao matrices in Brazil (Faria et al. 2006, 2007; Faria and Baumgarten 2007) and coffee matrices in Colombia (Numa et al. 2005) resulted in reductions in the species richness…”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “…(including frogs, lizards, small mammals and birds) are generally positively affected by the surrounding matrix (Pardini et al., 2009, and see also Faria et al., 2006, 2007), whereas the richness and abundance of shade-tolerant trees are negatively affected and decline from large to small…”
Can agroforest woodlots work as stepping stones for birds in the Atlantic forest region? (2008, background): “In a shade-cacao plantation, Faria et al. (2006) , for example, reported a loss of understory specialist birds and an increase of open area and generalist species comparing to the neighboring primary forest, because of the Xoristic and structural simpliWcation of these plantations.”
Agroforestry systems conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats (2007, background): “2004) and bats (e.g., Estrada and CoatesEstrada 2001a, b; Faria et al. 2006), but also other animal taxa (Medellı́n and Equihua 1998).”
Conversion of the Atlantic Forest into native and exotic tree plantations: Effects on bird communities from the local and regional perspectives (2006, unknown): “Thus, management and planning of human modified landscapes have been gradually incorporated in the conservation of ecological processes and regional diversity (Vandermeer and Perfecto, 1997; Reitsma et al., 2001; Peterjohn, 2003; Petit and Petit, 2003; Zhijun and Young, 2005; Faria et al., 2006).”
Relative effects of fragment size and connectivity on bird community in the Atlantic Rain Forest: Implications for conservation (2008, background): “However, there are situations where connectivity is as important as or even more important than size, especially for small fragments situated near large ones (Metzger, 2000) or when inter-habitat matrix permeability is high (Pardini, 2004; Faria et al., 2006).”
Bird diversity in cacao farms and forest fragments of western Panama (2007, background): “Theobroma cacao crops are generally planted under forest trees in the new world tropics, and high bird diversities have been documented in many cacao landscapes (Greenberg et al. 2000; Reitsma et al. 2001; Estrada and Coates-Estrada 2005; Faria et al. 2006; Gonzales and Harvey 2007, this issue).”
The challenge of maintaining Atlantic forest biodiversity: A multi-taxa conservation assessment of specialist and generalist species in an agro-forestry mosaic in southern Bahia (2009, background): “seasonality, though a period of 1–3 months with reduced rainfall may occur from December to March ( Faria et al., 2006 ).”
Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “…(Numa et al. 2005), landscapes dominated by cacao agroforests and comprising reduced native forest cover may harbor impoverished bat assemblages (Faria et al. 2006; 2007), highlighting that landscape context generally plays a crucial role in determining bat species responses in tropical…”
