Diel activity guild drives different mammal responses to fragmentation and degradation in the Amazon deforestation arcNARA Subscribed
Fragmentation and degradation have profound effects on species’ habitat use and activity patterns. According to their diel activity guild, species may respond differently to environmental change, with diurnal species expected to be more vulnerable to these changes. Here, we test this hypothesis by investigating how fragmentation, and degradation modulate the habitat use and overlap in diel activity of contrasting mammal diel a...
Patterns and Drivers of Taxonomic and Functional Change in Large Oceanic Island Bird AssemblagesNARA Subscribed
Aim We map global patterns of taxonomic and functional change between past (pre‐human impacts) and present (after anthropogenic extinctions and introductions) in large oceanic island bird assemblages and investigate if these patterns can be explained by island characteristics and anthropogenic factors. Location Sixty‐four oceanic islands (>100 km 2 ). Time Period Late Holocene. Major Taxa Studied Terrestrial and freshwater bir...
Aim We analyse the consequences of species extinctions and introductions on the functional diversity and composition of island bird assemblages. Specifically, we ask if introduced species have compensated the functional loss resulting from species extinctions. Location Seventy‐four oceanic islands (> 100 km 2 ) in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Time period Late Holocene. Major taxa studied Terrestrial and freshwater...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugalNARA Subscribed
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information o...
