Forest fragmentation: another perspective
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1998In his recent (and very favorable) review of our edited book, Tropical Forest Remnants[1xLeigh, E.G Jr. Trends Ecol. Evol. 1997; 12: 414Abstract | Full Text PDFSee all References][1], Egbert Leigh raised some issues of general interest to those who study the ecology of fragmented habitats.

Forest fragmentation and avian nest predation in forested landscapes
Oecologia, 1988The size of forest fragments, the use of land bordering fragments, and the distance of nests from an edge all affect the frequency of predation upon bird nests in Maine (USA), an area where the forest has been fragmented by roads, but not significantly reduced in area.

Insects in fragmented forests: a functional approach
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1996Insects are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of forest fragmentation. It is now beyond any doubt that fragmentation-induced changes in abundance and species richness occur in many insect groups. However, the study of insects in fragmented forests is still in its infancy and lacks real direction.

Strengthened insectivory in a temperate fragmented forest
Oecologia, 2006Habitat fragmentation modifies ecological patterns and processes through changes in species richness and abundance. In the coastal Maulino forest, central Chile, both species richness and abundance of insectivorous birds increases in forest fragments compared to continuous forest.

Nature, 1998
Twenty years ago a unique ecological experiment was set up, to monitor the effects of a rapid influx of people into one of the most sparsely populated areas in the world — the Amazon. Scientists have now met in Manau, Brazil, to discuss the results of this experiment.

Abstract Scattered throughout southeastern Brazil, from Bahia in the north to Sao Paulo in the south, and inland into Minas Gerais, are isolated stands of what remains of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. It once carpeted the chain of mountains running along the eastern coast of Brazil from the states of Rio Grande do Soul to Rio Grande ...

The fragmented Atlantic rain forest of Brazil: size, shape and distribution of forest fragments
Biodiversity & Conservation, 1998The geographical characteristics of a total of 1839 forest fragments surrounded by sugar cane fields were studied in the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest region of the northeastern state of Pernambuco. The size and shape of the fragments as well as inter-fragment distances and the effects of varying edge width were examined using a geographical ...

Forest fragmentation, synergisms and the impoverishment of neotropical forests
Biodiversity & Conservation, 2004It is well documented that the negative effects of habitat fragmentation are strong enough to promote local as well as regional extinction of canopy and emergent trees in neotropical forests. However, forest fragmentation does not occur alone, but is always associated with other human-induced threats to trees, such as logging, forest burning and ...
