Quantifying the biodiversity value of tropical primary, secondary, and plantati...
Barlow, Jos; Gardner, Toby Alan; Araújo, Ivanei Souza; Ávila-Pires, Teresa Cristina Sauer; Bonaldo, Alexandre Bragio; Costa, Joana E.Biodiversity loss from deforestation may be partly offset by the expansion of secondary forests and plantation forestry in the tropics. However, our current knowledge of the value of these habitats for biodiversity conservation is limited to very few taxa, and many studies are severely confounded by methodological shortcomings. We examined the conservation value of tropical primary, secondary, and plantation fo...
Riverine barriers and the geographic distribution of Amazonian species
Gascon, Claude; Malcolm, Jay R.; Patton, James L.; Silva, Maria Nazareth Ferreira da; Bogart, James P.; Lougheed, Stephen C.; Peres, Carlos A.Rivers have been suggested to have played an important role in shaping present-day patterns of ecological and genetic variation among Amazonian species and communities. Recent molecular studies have provided mixed support for the hypothesis that large lowland Amazonian rivers have functioned as significant impediments to gene flow among populations of neotropical species. To date, no study has systematically ev...
