| Description: |
Understanding the effects of habitat loss on biodiversity has gained pronounced importance to inform conservation planning. Palms are a characteristic, important component of forest structure and the functionality of tropical forests, yet fragmentation-related studies have been poorly investigated in deforested landscapes. Here, researchers examine the influence of forest loss at the landscape scale on the entire palm community by evaluating species turnover at nine 16 km2 landscapes in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest with 9-71% forest cover.
