Forest fragments become farmland: Dietary Response of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) to fast‐changing anthropogenic landscapes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23090
Abstract: Behavioral flexibility, including an ability to modify feeding behavior, is a key trait enabling primates to survive in forest fragments. In human‐dominated landscapes, unprotected forest fragments can become progressively degraded, and may be cleared entirely,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-021-00243-1
Abstract: Habitat loss and fragmentation pose a significant threat to many primate species worldwide, yet community-level responses are complex and nuanced. Despite repeated calls from primatologists and the wider conservation community to increase monitoring initiatives that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeog.2019.102082
Abstract: Abstract Accelerated and disordered conversion of forests into the agricultural frontier areas of the Brazilian Legal Amazon in the last four decades resulted in a fragmented landscape. Connectivity and maintenance of biodiversity in the remaining… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.01.026
Abstract: The urbanization contributes to environment contamination, mainly by the increased vehicle traffic. This intense traffic releases in the air chemical compounds with mutagenic properties that can affect the entire ecosystem. The birds for the flight… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2017.04.007
Abstract: Abstract Understanding the interactive effects of fragmentation and invasive species on forest dynamics requires a long-term perspective because they are difficult to assess in the medium- to long-term using observational or experimental data alone. In… read more here.
