Experiences from the B razilian A tlantic F orest: ecological findings and conservation initiatives
Summary The Brazilian Atlantic Forest hosts one of the world's most diverse and threatened

Beyond the fragmentation debate: a conceptual model to predict when habitat configuration really matters
MA Villard, JP Metzger - Journal of Applied Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Research addressing the effects of habitat fragmentation on species, assemblages or
ecosystems has been fraught with difficulties, from its conceptual foundation to statistical …

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 …

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 …

Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world
Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: a shrinking biodiversity hotspot
Abstract The Neotropical Atlantic Forest is one of the world's top biodiversity hotspot.
Originally, the forest extended over 1.5 million km 2 along the South American Atlantic coast …

Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: lessons from aging human-modified landscapes
Recent global assessments have shown the limited coverage of protected areas across
tropical biotas, fuelling a growing interest in the potential conservation services provided by …

Winner–loser species replacements in human-modified landscapes
Community assembly arguably drives the provision of ecosystem services because they
critically depend on which and how species coexist. We examine conspicuous cases …
