Summary The intrinsic complexity, variety of concepts and numerous ways to quantify landscape heterogeneity (LH) may hamper a better understanding how its components relate ecological phenomena. Our study is the first synthesize this concept provide state art on subject based comprehensive systematic literature review 661 articles published between 1982 2019. Definitions, terminologies measurements LH were diverse conflicting. Most (534 out 661) did not any definition for LH, we found great...
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in matrix-type influence on forest fragments. Terrestrial amphibians are good bioindicators for this kind of research because low vagility and high philopatry. This study compared richness, abundance, species composition terrestrial through pitfall traps two sets semideciduous seasonal fragments southeastern Brazil, according to the predominant surrounding matrix (sugar cane pasture). There were no differences but surrounded by sugar had...
Extinction risk assessments are valuable conservation tools, especially for sensitive groups like amphibians, which facing escalating threats from habitat loss and degradation. In this scenario, Brazil stands out as a pivotal player in amphibian due to its exceptional diversity. Between 2010 2014, 973 species were assessed Brazil. More recently, 2017 2018, number increased 1096. study, we (1) compare the extinction status of Brazilian amphibians between 1st 2nd assessments; (2) evaluate...
Many species of amphibians have suffered serious population declines. Several factors contribute separately or jointly to these However, the reduction an available habitat due human expansion is still main cause, and roads are a major mean for this expansion. Both construction phase subsequent use negative consequences amphibians. We reviewed literature on subject within Neotropical context. To end, paper begins with summary recent reviews proceeds through analysis sampling methods used in...
Climate change is one of the key drivers dramatic erosion global biodiversity. Poikilothermic organisms, such as amphibians, are particularly prone to alterations in temperature and precipitation therefore expected be severely impacted by climate change. We evaluated: i) potential effects on taxonomic functional richness amphibians Atlantic Forest Brazil, ii) tested whether forest-dependent open area species responded differently climatic stressors. applied an ensemble forecasting approach...
Abstract Habitat loss and fragmentation are processes that may affect communities by changing species interactions. These changes occur because the strength of linkages between is not exclusively dependent on predator prey traits. Species interaction also depend spatial context in which they take place. We used structural equation modelling to evaluate effects these at patch-scale top-down bottom-up controls food webs Atlantic Forest. The model was composed multiple species, trophic guilds...
