Anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests can double biodiversity loss from deforestation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a large data set of plants, birds and dung beetles (1,538, 460 and 156 species, respectively) sampled in 36 catchments in the Brazilian state of Para.
Journal ArticleDOI

A social and ecological assessment of tropical land uses at multiple scales: the Sustainable Amazon Network

Toby A. Gardner, +101 more
TL;DR: The Sustainable Amazon Network (Rede Amazônia Sustentável, RAS), a multidisciplinary research initiative involving more than 30 partner organizations working to assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability in eastern Brazilian Amazonia, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wildfires in bamboo-dominated Amazonian forest: impacts on above-ground biomass and biodiversity.

TL;DR: Comparisons with previous studies suggest that wildfires had much less effect upon forest structure and biodiversity in these south-western Amazonian forests than in central and eastern Amazonia, where most fire research has been undertaken to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying responses of dung beetles to fire disturbance in tropical forests: the importance of trapping method and seasonality.

TL;DR: The results indicate that seasonality had a stronger effect than trap type, with BPT more effective and robust under low population numbers, and FIT more sensitive to fine scale heterogeneity patterns.
