Abstract A decline in species number often occurs after forest fragmentation and habitat loss, which usually results the loss of ecological functions a reduction functional diversity fragments. However, it is uncertain whether these lost are consistently maintained throughout continuous forests, so importance forests remains unknown. Point counts were used to assess both taxonomic specialist generalist birds from sampling primary compared with fragments order investigate responses groups...
Abstract Along a distance gradient from given river, two types of habitat can be recognized: natural river edge and forest interior, each one with its own vegetation characteristics dynamics. In continuous area the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we investigated (1) if bird communities are different between riverbank small stream an inland habitat; (2) species ones that persist in most fragments after deforestation forest; (3) those less sensitive to fragmentation. It is expected there...
Abstract The delineation of unique areas in biodiversity is crucial for conservation planning. However, identification distinct biotas a challenging task. In this study, we use an objective analytical process to test if bird and plant species composition three different forest formation the Atlantic Biome sufficiently merit recognition ecoregions. We also evaluated how current climatic spatial factors shape distribution plants birds. Sampling localities were selected types southern Brazil:...
