Biodiversity, yield, and shade coffee certification (2005, methodology): “6 The high sensitivity exhibited by butterflies in this study (Perfecto et al., 2003) was probably due to a particularly extreme dry season (due to El Niño event in 1998) just prior to the time when the data were collected.”
Agriculture and biodiversity conservation: opportunity knocks (2008, background): “A wide range of studies have described biodiversity changes along this gradient, or parts of this gradient, in different regions (Moguel & Toledo 1999; Perfecto et al. 2003; Gillison et al. 2004; Tejeda-Cruz & Sutherland 2004; Pineda et al. 2005).”
Agroforestry systems conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats (2007, background): “With increasing numbers of studies reporting taxon-specific responses to land uses within agricultural landscapes (e.g., Lawton et al. 1998; Perfecto et al. 2003; Pineda et al. 2005; Faria et al. 2006; Harvey et al. 2006a, b), it is now clear that understanding the nature of these taxon-specific…”
NEST‐SITE LIMITATION IN COFFEE AGROECOSYSTEMS: ARTIFICIAL NESTS MAINTAIN DIVERSITY OF ARBOREAL ANTS (2005, background): “…high shade tree diversity, height, density, and percent cover (Belen Rustic [BR] and Irlanda Restoration [IR]) and another area of low shade tree diversity, height, density, and percent cover (Belen Production [BP] and Irlanda Production [IP]) (Mas and Dietsch 2003, Perfecto et al. 2003).”
Biodiversity in tropical agroforests and the ecological role of ants and ant diversity in predatory function (2006, background): “Coffee intensification results in the loss of arthropod biodiversity ( Perfecto et al. , 1996, 1997; Moguel & Toledo, 1999; Klein et al. , 2002a; Perfecto et al. , 2003 ) and affects biological control agents, including ants ( Ibarra-Núñez et al. , 1995; Lachaud & García Ballinas, 1999 ).”
Complex Ecological Interactions in the Coffee Agroecosystem (2014, background): “Several studies have reviewed the impacts of coffee intensification on bird abundance, richness, and community composition (e.g., Greenberg et al. 1997a,b; Johnson 2000; Roberts et al. 2000; Perfecto et al. 2003; Komar 2006; Philpott et al. 2008).”
Effects of Management Intensity and Season on Arboreal Ant Diversity and Abundance in Coffee Agroecosystems (2004, background): “The sites represent a gradient of intensification based on density, diversity, and height of shade trees, and percent shade cover (Mas and Dietsch 2003; Perfecto et al. 2003).”
The Role of Informal Protected Areas in Maintaining Biodiversity in the Western Ghats of India (2005, background): “…been shown that the distribution patterns of many of the species that are currently of the greatest international conservation concern do not coincide with broader diversity patterns (Prendergast et al. 1993, Oliver and Beattie 1996, Lawton et al. 1998, Williams et al. 2000, Perfecto et al. 2003).”
Spatial scale of observation affects α, β and γ diversity of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps across a tropical land‐use gradient (2006, background): “Many studies on the effects of land use on biodiversity consider only a few related management systems, such as different intensities of coffee or cacao management (Perfecto et al., 2003; but see Ricketts et al., 2001).”
Reduced Diversity and Complexity in the Leaf‐Litter Ant Assemblage of Colombian Coffee Plantations (2005, background): “…Andersen et al. 2002) and that elsewhere their diversity decreases when shade coffee is transformed into sun coffee (e.g., Perfecto & Snelling 1995; Perfecto et al. 2003), this group of organisms represents an obvious taxon for studies of biodiversity loss associated with the intensification of…”
Ferns, frogs, lizards, birds and bats in forest fragments and shade cacao plantations in two contrasting landscapes in the Atlantic forest, Brazil (2007, background): “Numerous studies have shown that increasing intensification of management leads to a simplification of the local biodiversity, and overall changes toward species associated with disturbance (Perfecto et al. 2003).”
Species richness and community composition of songbirds in a tropical forest‐agricultural landscape (2004, background): “Few studies, however, have assessed the degree to which agroforestry systems may actually contribute to the conservation of forest biodiversity (Perfecto et al., 1996, 2003; Roberts et al., 2000; Reitsma, Parrish & McLarney, 2001).”
