Extinction risks of Amazonian plant species [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Estimates of the number, and preferably the identity, of species that will be threatened by land-use change and habitat loss are an invaluable tool for setting conservation priorities. Here, we use collections data and ecoregion maps to generate spatially explicit distributions for more than 40,000 vascular plant species from the Amazon basin ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.
