Extinction thresholds for Sapotaceae due to forest cover in Atlantic Forest landscapes

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Despite the advances in scientific knowledge about causes and consequences of biodiversity loss, we still lack effective ways to incorporate this knowledge in the development of conservation policies. For example, several studies suggest a nonlinear decrease of species diversity in response to habitat loss at a landscape scale, predicting a threshold at which extinction rates increase dramatically. If this is true...
