Conservation Biology: Predicting Birds' Responses to Forest Fragmentation
Understanding species' ecological responses to habitat fragmentation is critical for biodiversity conservation, especially in tropical forests. A detailed recent study has shown that changes in the abundances of bird species following fragmentation may be dramatic and unpredictable.

متن کاملTime-Lag in Responses of Birds to Atlantic Forest Fragmentation: Restoration Opportunity and Urgency.
There are few opportunities to evaluate the relative importance of landscape structure and dynamics upon biodiversity, especially in highly fragmented tropical landscapes. Conservation strategies and species risk evaluations often rely exclusively on current aspects of landscape structure, although such limited assumptions are known to be misleading when time-lag responses occur. By relating bi...
متن کاملLandscape matrix and species traits mediate responses of Neotropical resident birds to forest fragmentation in Jamaica
Land cover and land use surrounding fragmented habitat can greatly impact species persistence by altering resource availability, edge effects, or the movement of individuals throughout a landscape. Despite the potential importance of the landscape matrix, ecologists still have limited understanding of the relative effects of different types of land cover and land uses on species patterns and pr...
متن کاملMarket-Based Policies to Reduce Forest Fragmentation and Risks to Interior-Forest Birds
Forest fragmentation occurs when a contiguous patch of forest is transformed into disjunct patches. This reduces the quality of habitat for bird species of ecological and recreational importance, and is considered to be a primary cause of declines in the populations of many migratory songbirds. In this paper, we analyze the effects of market-based policies on forest fragmentation in the coastal...
