Abstract One of the main consequences habitat loss and fragmentation is increase in patch isolation consequent decrease landscape connectivity. In this context, species persistence depends on their responses to new configuration, particularly capacity move through interhabitat matrix. Here, we aimed first determine gap‐crossing probabilities related different gap widths for two forest birds ( Thamnophilus caerulescens , Thamnophilidae; Basileuterus culicivorus Parulidae) from Brazilian...
ABSTRACT Translocation experiments showed that a woodcreeper bird species is able to move between isolated forest fragments, but this ability limited by increasing interpatch distances. Larger distances (> 100 m) were overcome using small stepping‐stones (isolated trees), which enhance connectivity and are useful for the conservation in fragmented landscapes.
Conservation ecology research, management and modeling often assume species-specific fixed traits ignoring intraspecific variation. Dispersal in animals is a heritable trait where variation should be common, as it develops via interactions between landscape behavioral processes. We conducted translocation-radio-tracking experiments novel-environment tests on Neotropical rainforest bird (Pyriglena leucoptera, Thamnophillidae) to assess whether dispersal success exploratory behavior are...
Increasing the connectivity of protected areas is an urgent need to ensure conservation forest species and help them shift their ranges due anthropogenic drivers. However, efforts do so considering joint effects habitat fragmentation climate change are still scant. Here, we aimed outline a framework that incorporates spatial, temporal multi-taxa criteria pinpoint locations connect in eastern Amazon. We analyzed three mosaics areas, data on 603 (bees, birds, bats) developed two models using...
Bee pollinators are key components of terrestrial ecosystems. Evidence is mounting that bees globally in decline, and species with a higher degree specialization the most vulnerable to local extinction. However, ecological features could explain bee remain poorly tested, especially tropical species. Here, we aim determine specialized their associated traits plant–bee interaction networks, answering three questions: (1) Which networks specialists? (2) Is body size related role as specialists...
Dispersal is a biological process performed in three stages: emigration, transfer and immigration. Intra-specific variation on dispersal behavior, such as sex-bias, very common nature, particularly birds mammals. However, difficult to measure the field many hypotheses concerning causes of sex-biased remain without empirical confirmation. An important limitation most studies that inferences about are based only emigration proneness or immigration success data. Thus, we still do not know...
Pollination may be severely affected by the decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches. However, most studies that have considered effects these two variables on plant-pollinator interactions been carried out in areas undergone anthropogenic fragmentation, little is known about their natural habitats. The Carajás National Forest Campos Ferruginosos Park are protected eastern Amazon where one can find isolated ferruginous outcrops characterized iron-rich soil herbaceous-shrub...
Due to the global magnitude of forest degradation and deforestation high cost eco-logical restoration, several approaches have been used prioritize conservation or restoration areas based on different objectives criteria. The present work aims develop a multicriteria approach defining priority for biodiversity in Ita-caiúnas River basin, eastern Amazon, that maximize criteria equitably. selected were: improve connectivity, provide climatic refuges biodiversity, mitigate im-pacts streamflow,...
Understanding the role that species play in their environment is a fundamental goal of biodiversity research, bringing knowledge on ecosystem maintenance and provision services. Different types interaction different establish with partners regulate functioning ecosystems (McCann 2007). Interactions between plants pollinators (Potts et al. 2016) seed dispersers (Wang Smith 2002) are examples mutualism, crucial to floristic composition overall biomes. They also illustrate well nature's...
