Matrix is important for mammals in landscapes with small amounts of native forest habitat (2011, background): “An ability to use the matrix has been shown to increase an animal’s survival ability in modified landscapes (Laurance 1991; Viveiros de Castro and Fernandez 2004).”
Predictors of forest fragmentation sensitivity in Neotropical vertebrates: a quantitative review (2011, background): “…increases from small over medium to large fragments Christiansen and Pitter 1997 pos Table 1: species increasing after fragmentation neg Table 1: species lost or decreasing after fragmentation de Castro and Fernandez 2004 ind Table 1: presence in continuous forest and at least 6 fragments (≥70”
Rapid diversity and abundance decline in a Caribbean coral reef sponge community (2006, background): “…small mammals lost from Brazilian forests were of species that are less able to cope with grassy vegetation between forest fragments (Viveiros de Castro and Fernandez, 2004); and birds with specific habitat requirements, such as nectivores that must move among habitats according to phenologies…”
Fire severity and landscape context effects on arboreal marsupials (2013, unknown): “…fragmentation literature includes numerous studies 82 of landscape context effects (reviewed by Collinge 2009; Lindenmayer and Fischer 2006) 83 showing that patch biota is influenced by the amount and condition of vegetation 84 surrounding those patches (Viveiros de Castro and Fernandez 2004).”
The role of forest structure, fragment size and corridors in maintaining small mammal abundance and diversity in an Atlantic forest landscape (2005, background): “…anthropogenic open habitats (Stallings, 1989; Stevens and Husband, 1998; Feliciano et al., 2002), and the rates of movement of individuals among Atlantic forest fragments surrounded by open fields are low (Pires et al., 2002), leading to extinctions in small fragments (Castro and Fernandez, 2004).”
Complex responses of birds to landscape‐level fire extent, fire severity and environmental drivers (2014, background): “…the habitat fragmentation literature (Lindenmayer & Fischer, 2006; Collinge, 2009) with many studies finding that the amount and condition of vegetation in fragmented landscapes strongly affects biota in habitat patches (Laurance, 1991; Viveiros de Castro & Fernandez, 2004; Driscoll et al., 2013).”
Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “, in press), leaflitter lizards (Dixo and Metzger, 2009), terrestrial forest-dwelling small mammals and those with low-dispersal capacity (Castro and Fernandez, 2004; Metzger et al., 2009).”
Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “In fact, in Atlantic forest landscapes with a relatively low percentage of remaining forest, small remnants harbor fewer small mammal species and individuals than larger fragments (Pardini et al. 2005), suffering local extinctions (Castro and Fernandez 2004).”
