TL;DR: The proposed landscape scenarios represent an optimal compromise between delivery of goods and services to humans and preserving most forest wildlife, and can therefore guide forest preservation and restoration strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conservation value of human-modified landscapes for the world’s primates
Carmen Galán-Acedo,Víctor Arroyo-Rodríguez,Ellen Andresen,Luis D. Verde Arregoitia,Ernesto Vega,Carlos A. Peres,Robert M. Ewers +6 more
TL;DR: This study quantified the use of ALCs by primates worldwide, and analyzed species’ attributes that predict such use, showing that primates using anthropic lands are less often threatened with extinction, but more often diurnal, not strictly arboreal, with medium or large body sizes, and habitat generalists.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global assessment of primate responses to landscape structure.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that forest loss (not fragmentation) is a major threat to primates, and thus, preventing deforestation and increasing forest cover through restoration is critically needed to mitigate the impact of land‐use change on the authors' closest relatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drivers of the spatial scale that best predict primate responses to landscape structure
Carmen Galán-Acedo,Víctor Arroyo-Rodríguez,Alejandro Estrada,Gabriel Ramos-Fernández,Gabriel Ramos-Fernández +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated whether and how species traits, biological responses, landscape variables and the regional context of the study drive the scale of effect in Mexican primates and found that SE did not differ significantly among the drivers evaluated, however, it tended to be lower for connectors' density than for forest patch density and forest edge density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological traits of the world's primates.
TL;DR: A database on some important ecological traits of the world’s primates, including home range size, locomotion type, diel activity, trophic guild, body mass, habitat type, current conservation status, population trend, and geographic realm is presented.
