Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in wildlife, livestock and human populations, and healthy
ecosystems are often parasite rich. Yet, their negative impacts can be extreme …

Despite its relevance to contemporary biodiversity conservation, the ecological mechanisms
controlling nonrandom species replacements and biotic homogenization of native biotas …

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 pace of deforestation in tropical forests has achieved unprecedented rates, requiring
effective and achievable conservation mitigations that are also easily understood by society …

The long-term dynamics of plant communities remain poorly understood in isolated tropical
forest fragments. Here we test the hypothesis that tropical tree assemblages in both small …

HABITAT FRAGMENTATION HAS BECOME THE MOST PERVASIVE and conspicuous
anthropogenic form of disturbance in tropical forest landscapes following unprecedented …

Plant regeneration is essential for maintaining forest biodiversity and ecosystem functioning,
which are globally threatened by human disturbance. Here we present the first integrative …

Habitat loss and fragmentation result in significant landscape changes that ultimately affect
plant diversity and add uncertainty to how natural areas will respond to future global change …

Ants are a dominant faunal group in tropical forests, but their responses to human
disturbances remain poorly investigated. Here we examine the relative effects of habitat …

Many studies have analyzed the ecological consequences of forest fragmentation on
Amazonian forests and the results of these studies are summarized here. Habitat …
