BIOFRAG - a new database for analyzing BIOdiversity responses to forest FRAGmen...
Pfeifer, Marion; Lefebvre, Véronique; Gardner, Toby Alan; Arroyo-Rodríguez, Víctor; Baeten, Lander; Banks-Leite, Cristina; Barlow, JosHabitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded by a lack of key statistical or methodological information. Collating primary datasets on biodiversity responses to fragmentation in a consistent and flexible database permits s...
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...

Inconsistências entre os estudos podem resultar da variação a escolha de métricas de paisagem e variáveis de resposta, que geralmente é composta por falta de informação estatística ou metodológica chave.

He went from New York to Brazil (São Luís, Maranhão), proceeding up the Amazon, and spent about eighteen months on that river and some of its tributaries. Arrived at the head of navigati...
