Ferns, frogs, lizards, birds and bats in forest fragments and shade cacao plantations in two contrasting landscapes in the Atlantic forest, Brazil (2007, background): “…the small fragments (<100 ha) harbor the same values of species richness, abundance and diversity as the large forest tracts (>1000 ha) for ferns (Paciencia and Prado 2005b), butterflies (Accacio 2004), leaf litter herpetofauna (Dixo 2001), birds (Laps et al. 2003), bats (Faria 2006) and small…”
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis (2013, background): “Finally, Paciencia & Prado (2005) found no difference in pteridophyte speciesaccumulation curves across small versus large tropical forest fragments.”
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, unknown): “Ferns – All ferns up to 2 m above the ground, including herbaceous, climbers, tree ferns, and epiphytes, were sampled in a 0.12 ha plot (120 � 10 m) in each of the 36 sites ( Paciencia and Prado, 2005 ).”
