Journal ArticleDOI
How pristine are tropical forests? An ecological perspective on the pre-Columbian human footprint in Amazonia and implications for contemporary conservation
TL;DR: This paper examined the extent to which the concepts of "pristine forests" and "cultural parklands" are mutually exclusive, and argued that pre-Columbian human disturbance has increased forest biodiversity and indigenous practices were always sustainable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allocation of hunting effort by Amazonian smallholders: Implications for conserving wildlife in mixed-use landscapes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated subsistence hunting patterns across a highly heterogeneous landscape mosaic in the Brazilian Amazon, where hunters from three villages had access to primary forest, active and fallow agricultural fields, and active and Eucalyptus plantations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-vertebrate assemblages of primary and secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon
TL;DR: Investigating assemblages of large-bodied birds and mammals in extensive patches of secondary forest in the Jarí region of the north-eastern Brazilian Amazon found that although primary and secondary forests held a similar abundance of large vertebrates, the species composition was very different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the design and management of forest strips in human-dominated tropical landscapes: a field test on Amazonian dung beetles
Jos Barlow,Julio Louzada,Luke Parry,Malva Isabel Medina Hernández,Joseph E. Hawes,Carlos A. Peres,Fernando Z. Vaz-de-Mello,Toby A. Gardner +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a quasi-experimental landscape in the Brazilian Amazon to test the importance of four management-relevant variables (forest type, isolation distance, forest structure, and large mammal activity) on the potential biodiversity conservation value of narrow forest strips for dung beetles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drivers of rural exodus from Amazonian headwaters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the relative importance of public service provision and natural resources in determining settlement patterns along, and rural-urban migration from, eight rivers in road-less regions of the Brazilian Amazon.
