Does the type of matrix matter? A quantitative review of the evidence
JA Prevedello, MV Vieira - Biodiversity and Conservation, 2010 - Springer
It has been increasingly recognized that the type of matrix surrounding habitat patches can
affect biodiversity in landscapes, but there were only qualitative reviews of the subject …

Use of agroecosystem matrix habitats by mammalian carnivores (Carnivora): a global‐scale analysis
Less than a quarter of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems remain intact. Protected areas (PA s)
are far exceeded in area by natural habitats that have been transformed for agriculture, and …

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: How much is left, and how is the remaining forest distributed? Implications for conservation
The neotropical Atlantic Forest supports one of the highest degrees of species richness and
rates of endemism on the planet, but has also undergone a huge forest loss. However, there …

Pathogen spillover during land conversion
Pathogen spillover from wildlife to domestic animals and humans, and the reverse, has
caused significant epidemics and pandemics worldwide. Although pathogen emergence …

Beyond the fragmentation threshold hypothesis: regime shifts in biodiversity across fragmented landscapes
Ecological systems are vulnerable to irreversible change when key system properties are
pushed over thresholds, resulting in the loss of resilience and the precipitation of a regime …

Time-lag in biological responses to landscape changes in a highly dynamic Atlantic forest region
Time-lagged responses of biological variables to landscape modifications are widely
recognized, but rarely considered in ecological studies. In order to test for the existence of …

Forest loss and the biodiversity threshold: an evaluation considering species habitat requirements and the use of matrix habitats
Habitat loss is the main driver of the current biodiversity crisis, a landscape-scale process
that affects the survival of spatially-structured populations. Although it is well-established that …
