Herpetofaunal responses to anthropogenic forest habitat modification across the neotropics: insights from partitioning β-diversity

2017-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Habitat change is the primary cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. Large tracks of primary forest can be (1) degraded by human-induced disturbance to the point of total conversion into alternative non-forest land-use types, or (2) reduced into small forest fragments isolated within an anthropogenic matrix. Such disturbed habitats are further prone to be colonized by disturbance-adapted species, which can offset s...
