Season-modulated responses of Neotropical bats to forest fragmentation
Ferreira, Diogo F.; Rocha, Ricardo; López-Baucells, Adrià; Farneda, Fábio Z.; Carreiras, João Manuel de Brito; Palmeirim, Jorge ManuelSeasonality causes fluctuations in resource availability, affecting the presence and abundance of animal species. The impacts of these oscillations on wildlife populations can be exacerbated by habitat fragmentation. We assessed differences in bat species abundance between the wet and dry season in a fragmented landscape in the Central Amazon characterized by primary forest fragments embedded in a secondary for...
Does sex matter? Gender-specific responses to forest fragmentation in Neotropic...
Rocha, Ricardo; Ferreira, Diogo F.; López-Baucells, Adrià; Farneda, Fábio Z.; Carreiras, João Manuel de Brito; Palmeirim, Jorge ManuelUnderstanding the consequences of habitat modification on wildlife communities is central to the development of conservation strategies. However, albeit male and female individuals of numerous species are known to exhibit differences in habitat use, sex-specific responses to habitat modification remain little explored. Here, we used a landscape-scale fragmentation experiment to assess, separately for males and ...
