We synthesized key findings from the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, the
world's largest and longest‐running experimental study of habitat fragmentation. Although …

Linear infrastructure such as roads, highways, power lines and gas lines are omnipresent
features of human activity and are rapidly expanding in the tropics. Tropical species are …

We synthesize findings to date from the world’s largest and longest-running experimental
study of habitat fragmentation, located in central Amazonia. Over the past 32years, Amazonian …

Few studies have assessed effects of habitat fragmentation on tropical forest dynamics. We
describe results from an 18‐yr experimental study of the effects of rain forest fragmentation …

Rain forest fragments in central Amazonia were found to experience a dramatic loss of
above-ground tree biomass that is not offset by recruitment of new trees. These losses were …

The rapid disruption of tropical forests probably imperils global biodiversity more than any
other contemporary phenomenon 1 , 2 , 3 . With deforestation advancing quickly, protected …

We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within
1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation. A synthesis of …

In tropical forests, lianas (woody vines) are important structural parasites of trees. We assessed
the effects of forest fragmentation, treefall disturbance, soils, and stand attributes on liana …

Background. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of pegylated interferon
(peg-IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected patients …

Human-driven land-use changes increasingly threaten biodiversity, particularly in tropical
forests where both species diversity and human pressures on natural environments are high 1 …
