• Recovery of amphibian, reptile, bird and mammal diversity during secondary forest succession in the tropics (2019, background): “In later successional stages, as microhabitat changes, reference forest specialist species (e.g. understory insectivores) are more common (Stratford and Robinson 2005, Stratford and Stouffer 2015).”
• Forest fragmentation alters microhabitat availability for Neotropical terrestrial insectivorous birds (2015, background): “Changes in vegetation structure in fragments alters microclimate (Didham and Lawton, 1999; Kapos, 1989; Murcia, 1995) and birds are potentially responding to these variables, such as increased insolation and temperatures (Stratford and Robinson, 2005).”
• Slow response of plant species richness to habitat loss and fragmentation. (2005, background): “Many researchers have concluded that habitat fragmentation poses an important additional threat to biodiversity (Hanski 2005; Piessens et al. 2005; Strantford & Robinson 2005), but others think that fragmentation per se is generally of secondary importance (Fahrig 2003).”
• Landscape matrix and species traits mediate responses of Neotropical resident birds to forest fragmentation in Jamaica (2010, background): “…2001, Bélisle and Clair 2002, Gobeil and Villard 2002) and tropical regions (e.g., Robinson 1999, Renjifo 2001, Laurance et al. 2002, Sekercioglu et al. 2002, Stratford and Robinson 2005), we found that traits linked to dispersal abilities were not associated with species–matrix responses.”
• Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation (2014, background): “This is important because tropical forest fragments are often warmer, brighter and less humid than intact forests (Laurance et al., 2011), and thus potentially unsuitable for forest specialists (Stratford and Robinson, 2005).”
• Recent advances in understanding migration systems of New World land birds (2010, background): “Even if habitat fragmentation in the tropics is not a problem for many migrants, numerous studies have shown it can be devastating to populations of resident tropical birds (e.g., Sodhi et al. 2004, Stratford and Robinson 2005, Ferraz et al. 2007).”
