The conservation value of secondary forests in the southern Brazilian Mata Atlântica from a spider perspective

2014-04-01

Abstract excerpt

In many tropical areas of the world, pristine forests have become rare. Nevertheless, due to shifts in the human population the area covered by secondary forests is increasing. These forests may harbor a rich flora and fauna and are considered to be main refuges for species of primary forests. However, this issue is far from clear. To assess the conservation value of secondary forests in the Atlantic Forest of Bra...
