Male orchid bees were attracted to chemical baits and collected in nine Atlantic Forest
fragments in southeastern Brazil. Fragments differed in size and shape. Three additional …

Habitat loss and fragmentation reduce diversity of tropical bird communities, but the
predictability of how communities in fragments disintegrate over time remains unclear. We …

There are few empirical data, particularly collected simultaneously from multiple sites, on
extinctions resulting from human‐driven land‐use change. Southeast Asia has the highest …

Species–area (SA) models have often been used to predict biodiversity loss resulting from
habitat loss. This application of SA models hinges on two fundamental assumptions: the …

In this chapter, we will outline why we consider species extinction to be the most important
problem conservation science must address. Species extinction is irreversible, is …

Thomas Brooks and irreplaceability. It does not attempt to be comprehensive, but rather
focuses on the boundary between theory and practice, where successful conservation …

Continuing downward trends in the population sizes of many species, in the conservation
status of threatened species, and in the quality, extent and connectedness of habitats are of …

Intensive deforestation is reducing dry tropical forest areas worldwide and increasing its
fragmentation. Forest remnants can be the basis for the future recovery of this forest type if …

Populations of long-lived animals, such as semi-aquatic turtles, that depend on high
survivorship of reproductive adults, are particularly susceptible to the negative effects …

We investigated the effects of forest fragmentation on golden‐headed lion tamarins
(Leontopithecus chrysomelas) by qualitatively and quantitatively characterizing the …
