The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: How much is left, and how is the remaining forest distributed? Implications for conservation
The neotropical Atlantic Forest supports one of the highest degrees of species richness and
rates of endemism on the planet, but has also undergone a huge forest loss. However, there …

Impacts of roads and linear clearings on tropical forests
Linear infrastructure such as roads, highways, power lines and gas lines are omnipresent
features of human activity and are rapidly expanding in the tropics. Tropical species are …

The impacts of roads and other infrastructure on mammal and bird populations: a meta-analysis
Biodiversity is being lost at an increased rate as a result of human activities. One of the
major threats to biodiversity is infrastructural development. We used meta-analyses to study …
