Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]
, 2020 Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

Type-Inference Based Short Cut Deforestation (nearly) without Inlining [PDF]
, 1999 Deforestation optimises a functional program by transforming it into another one that does not create certain intermediate data structures. In [ICFP'99] we presented a type-inference based deforestation algorithm which performs extensive inlining ...
