Article
Laure Schneider-Maunoury, Auteur ; Veronique Lefebvre, Auteur ; Robert M. Ewers, Auteur ; Guido F. Medina-Rangel, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Eduardo Somarriba, Auteur ; Nicolas Urbina-Cardona, Auteur ; Marion Pfeifer, AuteurFragmentation and habitat loss contribute considerably to global declines of amphibians and reptiles. However, few studies focus on forest edges, created during the fragmentation process, as proximate drivers of the local demographic structure o[...]
Article
Luke Parry, Auteur ; Jos Barlow, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurMost tropical forest landscapes are modified by humans, but the effects of these changes on rural hunting patterns and hunted vertebrate populations remain poorly understood. We investigated subsistence hunting patterns across a highly heterogen[...]

Moreira, Auteur ; Kenneth J. Feeley, AuteurAmazonia (sensu lato) is by far the largest tropical forest region, but has succumbed to the highest absolute rates of tropical deforestation and forest degradation, driven by rapid frontier expansion, road-building, and spontaneous or governmen[...]
Article
Taal Levi, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurUnregulated hunting of large-bodied frugivores is ubiquitous in tropical forests. Due to their low fecundity and complex social organization, large primates are often the first tropical forest vertebrates to be extirpated by hunting. Large prima[...]

Braulio A. Santos, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Marcondes A. Oliveira, Auteur ; Alexandre Grillo, Auteur ; Cecilia P. Alves-Costa, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, AuteurThe long-term dynamics of plant communities remain poorly understood in isolated tropical forest fragments. Here we test the hypothesis that tropical tree assemblages in both small forest fragments and along forest edges of very large fragments [...]
Article
Isabel L. Jones, Auteur ; Nils Bunnefeld, Auteur ; Alistair S. Jump, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Daisy H. Dent, AuteurLarge dams cause extensive inundation of habitats, with remaining terrestrial habitat confined to highly fragmented archipelagos of land-bridge islands comprised of former hilltops. Isolation of biological communities on reservoir islands induce[...]
Article
Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Felipe P. L. Melo, AuteurDespite its relevance to contemporary biodiversity conservation, the ecological mechanisms controlling nonrandom species replacements and biotic homogenization of native biotas remain poorly understood. Here, we advocate for the widespread occur[...]
Article
Whaldener Endo, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Torbjorn Haugaasen, AuteurRural populations in the tropics frequently rely on game vertebrates and fish to supply their daily protein requirements. However, few studies have quantified the environmental and socioeconomic drivers of hunting and fishing effort and the pote[...]
Article
Ana Filipa Palmeirim, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Fernando C. W. Rosas, AuteurLarge hydroelectric dams are major drivers of habitat loss and degradation in lowland Amazonia. Hydroelectric reservoirs reduce the habitat available for terrestrial species, but create new open-water and shoreline lake habitat that can potentia[...]
Article
Jos Barlow, Auteur ; Toby A. Gardner, Auteur ; Alexander C. Lees, Auteur ; Luke Parry, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurArcheologists, paleoecologists and anthropologists argue that ecologists need to give greater consideration to the pre-historical influence of humans in shaping the current structure and composition of tropical forests. We examine these argument[...]

Jos Barlow, Auteur ; Julio Louzada, Auteur ; Luke Parry, Auteur ; Malva I. M. Hernandez, Auteur ; Joseph Hawes, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Fernando Z. Vaz-de-Mello, Auteur ; Toby A. Gardner, AuteurP>1. The future of tropical forest species depends in part on their ability to survive in human-modified landscapes. Forest strips present a priority area for biodiversity research because they are a common feature of many managed landscapes, ar[...]

Soares, Auteur ; Thiago Sanna Freire Silva, Auteur ; Vanessa G. Staggemeier, Auteur ; Annia Susin Streher, Auteur ; Betania C. Vargas, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurPhenology has achieved a prominent position in current scenarios of global change research given its role in monitoring and predicting the timing of recurrent life cycle events. However, the implications of phenology to environmental conservatio[...]
Article
Ariadna Valentina Lopes, Auteur ; Luciana Coe Girao, Auteur ; Braulio Almeida Santos, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, AuteurHabitat loss and fragmentation promote relatively predicable shifts in the functional signature of tropical forest tree assemblages, but the full extent of cascading effects to biodiversity persistence remains poorly understood. Here we test the[...]
Article
Toby A. Gardner, Auteur ; Jos Barlow, Auteur ; Navjot S. Sodhi, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurThe fate of much of the world's terrestrial biodiversity is linked to the management of human-modified forest landscapes in the humid tropics. This Special Issue presents the first pan-tropical synthesis of research on the prospects for biodiver[...]
Article
Toby A. Gardner, Auteur ; Jos Barlow, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurThe recent shift in research attention by amphibian biologists towards the causes of "enigmatic" population declines appears paradoxical given the almost unanimous recognition that habitat change is the primary cause of population declines world[...]
Article
Marco Aurelio-Silva, Auteur ; Marina Anciães, Auteur ; Luiza Magalli Pinto Henriques, Auteur ; Maira Benchimol, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurMega-hydroelectric dams in lowland Amazonia create large archipelagos of upland forest, yet few studies have taken advantage of these fragmented landscapes to examine the effects of habitat insularization on vertebrate populations. We investigat[...]
Article
Ana Alice Biedzicki De Marques, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurBrazil safeguards a vast network of parks and reserves, termed conservation units. The creation of conservation units follows a rigorous legal protocol that grants them long-term stability under varying degrees of formal protection against land-[...]
Article
Torbjorn Haugaasen, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurLittle is known about the contribution of different forest types to the beta-diversity, abundance and biomass of the avifauna in lowland Amazonia. This paper presents data on the large-bodied bird assemblages of adjacent upland (terra firme) and[...]
Article
Maira Benchimol, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurHydropower projects are rapidly expanding across lowland Amazonia, driving the conversion of large tracts of once-continuous forests into archipelagos embedded within a vast open-water matrix. Forest vertebrate populations thus become stranded i[...]
