Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “…to ecosystem disturbances caused by forest thinning, grazing, species invasion, forest fires, forest conversion, forest fragmentation, and other forms of disturbance (Carvalho and Vasconcelos, 1999; Vasconcelos et al., 2000; Maeto and Sato, 2004; Sinclair and New, 2004; Stephens and Wagner, 2006).”
Vegetation structure, species diversity, and ecosystem processes as measures of restoration success (2005, methodology): “Litter structure was determined by counting the number of leaves perforated with a needle that was pushed down though the leaf litter layer in four points within each plot (Vasconcelos et al., 2000).”
The role of ants in conservation monitoring: If, when, and how (2006, background): “In the Amazon rain forest, there was no significant difference in the overall number of species, evenness, or mean abundance between plots that had been logged for 10 and four years prior versus an unlogged control (Vasconcelos et al., 2000).”
Managing the tropical landscape: a comparison of the effects of logging and forest conversion to agriculture on ants, birds, and lepidoptera (2004, background): “Where it has been studied, logging also appears to affect species composition (Johns, 1992; Mason, 1996; Aleixo, 1999; Kalif et al., 2001; Vasconcelos et al., 2000; Willot, 1999; Willot et al., 2000) but not consistently (Lewis, 2001; Owiunji and Plumptre, 1998; Whitman et al.”
Short-term effects of canopy openness on insect herbivores in a rain forest in Guyana (2001, background): “For example, intrinsic species turnover of litter beetles and ants with distance explained a small but significant part of the variance in species distribution among fragmented forest remnants in Amazonia (Didham et al . 1998; Vasconcelos, Vilhena & Caliri 2000 ).”
Biodiversity consequences of land-use change and forest disturbance in the Amazon:a multi-scale assessment using ant communities (2016, result): “…of undisturbed primary forest highlights the importance of conserving such habitats, supporting conclusions of other authors studying ants (Vasconcelos et al. 2000, Vasconcelos et al. 2006), other insect groups (Barlow et al. 2007b, Barlow et al. 2008), as well as vertebrates and plants…”
The little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata: distribution, impact, and control. (2003, background): “Vasconcelos et al. (2000) found W. auropunctata in both intact forest and logged areas of the Brazilian Amazon.”
