We synthesized key findings from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, the
world's largest and longestrunning experimental study of habitat fragmentation. Although …

From the snub-nosed monkeys of China to the mountain gorillas of central Africa, our closest
nonhuman relatives are in critical danger worldwide. A recent report, for example, warns that …

Aim In a selected literature survey we reviewed studies on the habitat heterogeneity–animal
species diversity relationship and evaluated whether there are uncertainties and biases in …

The Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania and the Atlantic Forest of Brazil are two of the most
fragmented biodiversity hotspots. Species–area relationships predict that their habitat …

We examined the literature on the effects of habitat fragmentation and disturbance on howler
monkeys (genus Alouatta) to (1) identify different threats that may affect howlers in …

Howler monkeys (genus Alouatta) represent a successful radiation of at least nine
species†(Rylands et al., 2000). Among all Neotropical primate genera, Alouatta inhabits the …

I compared dung beetle communities and assessed some of their functional effects (dung
removal, seed burial, seedling establishment) in continuous forest with those in 1ha and 10 …

Amazonian forests are experiencing rapid, unprecedented changes that are having major
impacts on wildlife, regional hydrology and the global climate. Rates of deforestation and …

There is a dire need to assess the impacts of habitat fragmentation on tropical forest biotas.
In 1986–1987 three live-trapping methods were used to census small mammals at 52 sites …

The responses of plant–animal interactions to forest fragmentation can vary. We
hypothesized that large-seeded plant species would be more susceptible to forest …
