Secondary forest buffers the effects of fragmentation on aerial insectivorous b...
Rowley, Sarah; López-Baucells, Adrià; Rocha, Ricardo; Bobrowiec, Paulo E. D.; Meyer, Christoph F. J.Passive forest restoration can buffer the effects of habitat loss on biodiversity. We acoustically surveyed aerial insectivorous bats in a whole-ecosystem fragmentation experiment in the Brazilian Amazon over a 2-year period, across 33 sites, comprising continuous old-growth forest, remnant fragments, and regenerating secondary forest matrix. We analyzed the activity of 10 species/sonotypes to investigate occup...
Interplay between local and landscape-scale effects on the taxonomic, functiona...
López-Baucells, Adrià; Rowley, Sarah; Rocha, Ricardo; Bobrowiec, Paulo E. D.; M. Palmeirim, Jorge; Farneda, Fábio Z.; Meyer, Christoph F. J.Context Human-modified landscapes are globally ubiquitous. It is critical to understand how habitat loss and fragmentation impact biodiversity from both a local habitat context and landscape-scale perspective to inform land management and conservation strategies. Objectives We used an experimentally fragmented landscape in the Brazilian Amazon to investigate variation in aerial insectivorous bat diversity in re...
