Effects of habitat degradation on the abundance, richness and diversity of raptors across Neotropical biomes

2009-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Population growth and human development result in biodiversity loss and biological homogenization not only in developed countries, but increasingly in the less developed countries as well. In those countries, where urbanization and agricultural intensification occur at a faster rate than in developed countries, habitat degradation appears to be the leading cause of wildlife loss. During the breeding seasons of 200...
