Landscape and patch attributes impacting medium- and large-sized terrestrial mammals in a fragmented rain forest (2013, background): “…have highlighted the importance of matrix quality for the maintenance of diversity in fragmented landscapes (Fahrig et al. 2011, Melo et al. 2013, Perfecto & Vandermeer 2010), very few studies have demonstrated that matrix quality is positively related to the number of terrestrial mammals in…”

Complex Ecological Interactions in the Coffee Agroecosystem (2014, background): “Nonetheless, in light of recent reevaluation of agroecosystems and their relationships to conservation (Perfecto & Vandermeer 2010), coffee has come to figure centrally in current narratives about the value of diverse agricultural systems for biodiversity conservation (Perfecto et al. 1996).”
Conservation policy in traditional farming landscapes (2012, background): “Globalization has now reached many traditional farming landscapes which were relatively isolated until fairly recently, in Europe but also in Africa, Asia, and Latin America (Grau & Aide 2008; Perfecto & Vandermeer 2010).”
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses (2012, background): “By contrast, resources may be gleaned from the matrix, with consequences for species persistence, dispersal, and colonization (e.g. Leibold et al., 2004; Tscharntke & Brandl, 2004; Kremen et al., 2007; Holt, 2010; Perfecto & Vandermeer, 2010).”
Cassava about‐FACE: Greater than expected yield stimulation of cassava (Manihot esculenta) by future CO2 levels (2012, background): “…area basis (F.A.O., 2010), the large cassava yield gap indicates that significant improvements in cassava productivity can be achieved by controlling pests and diseases and through agro- ecological or sustainable intensification (Bassett, 2010; Perfecto & Vandermeer, 2010; Tilman et al., 2011).”
Biological Diversity in Agriculture and Global Change (2010, background): “Landscape ecological concepts, such as patch-matrix interactions, can be applied to the interactions within and among cultivated patches and nonagricultural landscape matrices (76, 77), such as WCRcontaining woodland matrices interacting with cultivated patches of biodiversity in irrigated agricultu”

Agroforestry Standards for Regenerative Agriculture (2018, background): “In addition to their ubiquity, agroforestry systems around the world are recognized for their high biological and natural resources conservation values [43,44] and are increasingly considered an innovative response to today’s agricultural challenges including increasing weather extremes, soil and wa”
Reshaping agri-environmental subsidies: From marginal farming to large-scale rewilding (2015, background): “…sustainability of industrial agricultural systems is highly questionable (Tilman, Cassman, Matson, Naylor, & Polasky, 2002; Tscharntke et al., 2005; Perfecto & Vandermeer, 2010) these ‘land sharing’ measures could thus help achieve a more sustainable intensification of agriculture (Godfray &…”
