Sleep is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom and yet displays considerable variation in its
extent and form in the wild. Ecological factors, such as predation, competition, and …

The Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania and the Atlantic Forest of Brazil are two of the most
fragmented biodiversity hotspots. Species–area relationships predict that their habitat …

An extension of the climate variability hypothesis is that relatively stable climate, such as that
of the tropics, induces distinct thermal bands across elevation that render dispersal over …

Abstract The Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania and Kenya are one of 35 global biodiversity
hotspots. The Eastern Arc forests are, as are many other tropical biodiversity hotspots, highly …

The rapidly changing environments resulting from anthropogenic activities and climate
change presented challenges to biodiversity protection efforts. China, in its pursuit of …

Habitat loss via urbanization is a cause of decline for reptile and amphibian species around
the world. The Atlantic Forest is the second largest rainforest of South America and holds …

Estimating population density and identifying those areas where density is changing through
time are central to prioritizing conservation and management strategies. Obtaining reliable …

A better understanding of the impact of habitat loss on population density can be achieved
by evaluating effects of both parameters within remnant habitat patches and parameters of …
