Forest bird diversity increases with fragmentation per se in landscapes following forest gains

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results suggest that, at least for forest breeding birds, the benefits of habitat restoration to increase total forest area could be enhanced by distributing a given amount of restored habitat across multiple patches. Our study also highlights the overarching importance of habitat amount for biodiversity conservation. Taken together, these findings

Restauración ecológica participativa: promoviendo la conservación del bosque seco tropical urbano en Cali, Colombia

Colombia Forestal
El bosque seco tropical es uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados de Colombia. El departamento del Valle del Cauca conserva menos del 2 % de su cobertura original.

Sample coverage affects diversity measures of bird communities along a natural recovery gradient of abandoned agriculture in tropical lowland forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 480-491, March 2025.
Our results highlight the importance of standardizing biodiversity measures and incorporating beta diversity in biodiversity monitoring. We demonstrate that taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional bird diversity can be high in secondary forests within smallholder agricultural landscapes.

Avian seed dispersal out of the forests: A view through the lens of Pleistocene landscapes

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 510-517, March 2025.
Many European woody species are light‐demanding and fail to regenerate in the shaded interiors of temperate forests. Most of these species are dispersed by frugivorous and seed‐caching birds. The spatial patterns of avian seed dispersal in fragmented anthropogenic landscapes are congruent with an ecological and evolutionary history with open and semi ...

Cattle and nurse trees shape subtropical forest–grassland ecotones

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2430-2443, October 2024.
Tree cover can potentially expand on the subtropical South American grasslands. Reductions in cattle densities and increases in rainfall levels associated with climate change could facilitate forest expansion in this region. Abstract South American subtropical landscapes are dominated by open grasslands and mosaics of forest–grassland formations ...

Land use history and landscape forest cover determine tropical forest recovery

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2365-2381, October 2024.
Both a higher land use intensity and fragmented forest landscape decreases the speed of forest recovery, indicating that human actions and landscape transformation shape the course of succession. Restoration in fragmented forest landscapes through natural regeneration is more suitable in areas with low previous land use intensity, higher forest ...

Complex patch geometries maximize species richness at the expense of forest specialists

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 3, May 2024.
We assessed the reptile and amphibian community at 54 sites spanning four habitat types in a fragmented landscape in Costa Rica. Our study revealed that small forest patches and corridors play an important role in herpetofauna conservation, as they support a similar richness, abundance, and community composition to large forest preserves. We also found
