A social and ecological assessment of tropical land uses at multiple scales: Th...
Gardner, Toby Alan; Ferreira, Joice Nunes; Barlow, Jos; Lees, Alexander C.; Parry, Luke; Guimarães Vieira, Ima Cèlia; Berenguer, ErikaScience has a critical role to play in guiding more sustainable development trajectories. Here, we present the Sustainable Amazon Network (Rede Amazônia Sustentável, RAS): a multidisciplinary research initiative involving more than 30 partner organizations working to assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability in eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The research approach adopted by RAS offers...
How pervasive is biotic homogenization in human‐modified tropical forest landsc...
Solar, Ricardo Ribeiro de Castro; Barlow, Jos; Ferreira, Joice; Berenguer, Erika; Lees, Alexander C.; Thomson, James R.; Louzada, Júlio; Maués, MárciaLand-cover change and ecosystem degradation may lead to biotic homogenization, yet our under- standing of this phenomenon over large spatial scales and different biotic groups remains weak. We used a multi-taxa dataset from 335 sites and 36 heterogeneous landscapes in the Brazilian Amazon to examine the potential for landscape-scale processes to modulate the cumulative effects of local disturbances. Biotic homo...
Poor prospects for avian biodiversity in amazonian oil palm
Lees, Alexander C.; Moura, Nárgila G.; Almeida, Arlete Silva de; Vieira, Ima C. G.A expansão das plantações de dendezeiros através dos trópicos úmidos precipitou a perda maciça de habitats de florestas tropicais e seus biotas speciose associados. Monoculturas de plantações de dendezeiros foram identificadas como uma ameaça emergente para a biodiversidade amazônica, mas Não há estudos quantitativos que explorem o impacto dessas plantações na biota do bioma. Compreensão esses impactos são extr...
