Toon Spanhove, Auteur ; Valerie Lehouck, Auteur ; Luc Lens, Auteur

Dans Bird Conservation International (19(4) DEC 2009)

Fragmentation of continuous habitat blocks into small, isolated patches may Cause gradual replacement of habitat specialists by generalists and edge-dwelling species, thereby altering trophic interactions within communities. When fragmentation p[...]

Toon Spanhove, Auteur ; Tom Callens, Auteur ; Caspar A. Hallmann, Auteur ; Petri Pellikka, Auteur ; Luc Lens, Auteur

Dans Journal of Ornithology (155(2) APR 2014)

High levels of nest predation influence the population dynamics of many tropical birds, especially when deforestation alters nest predator communities. The consequences of tropical forest fragmentation on nest predation, however, remain poorly u[...]

Dans Biological Conservation (142(3) MAR 2009)

Tropical forest fragmentation affects animal and plant populations in different ways. For plants, early stages (seed to seedling) are more sensitive to habitat alteration than adults, and can shape their future spatial patterns. Therefore, study[...]
