Deforestation is perhaps the greatest threat to tropical biodiversity. Anyway, extensive areas
in the tropics have naturally regenerated and become secondary forests, which might …

Avian diversity in fragmented Amazonian landscapes depends on a balance between
extinction and colonization in cleared and disturbed areas. Regenerating forest facilitates …

Secondary forests play a critical role in the natural environment and have the potential to
provide significant benefits for human physical and mental well-being. The secondary …

Context Old-growth forest loss drives the global biodiversity crisis. Nevertheless, this impact
could be buffered by the increasing expansion of secondary (regenerating) forests, which …

Species extinctions caused by the destruction and degradation of tropical primary forest may
be at least partially mitigated by the expansion of regenerating secondary forest. However …

Tropical land‐use change is a key driver of global declines in biodiversity and a major
source of anthropogenic carbon emissions, yet there is a substantial shortfall in the funding …

The performance of species richness estimators can be highly variable. Evaluating the
accuracy and precision of different estimators for different assemblages is common in the …

The islands of the Wallacean biodiversity hotspot support diverse and highly endemic bird
communities, yet remain ornithologically poorly studied. There is a particular paucity of data …

Rapid economic development has led to high rates of deforestation and widespread
alteration of land cover in many regions in China, where many primary forests have been …

Birds are a frequently chosen group for biodiversity monitoring as they are comparatively
straightforward and inexpensive to sample and often perform well as ecological indicators …
