Demographic threats to the sustainability of Brazil nut exploitationCarlos A Peres
Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK
Science 302:2112-4. 2003..Without management, intensively harvested populations will succumb to a process of senescence and demographic collapse, threatening this cornerstone of the Amazonian extractive economy...
Detecting anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forestsCarlos A Peres
Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, NR4 7TJ
Trends Ecol Evol 21:227-9. 2006..Here, we discuss different forms of disturbance in Amazonian forests and question how much of the apparently intact forest in this region remains relatively undisturbed...
Conservation value of remnant riparian forest corridors of varying quality for amazonian birds and mammalsAlexander C Lees
Centre for Ecology Evolution and Conservation, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, United Kingdom
Conserv Biol 22:439-49. 2008..Restriction of livestock movement along riparian buffers and their exclusion from key areas alongside deforested streams would permit corridor regeneration and facilitate restoration of connectivity...
Disturbance-mediated mammal persistence and abundance-area relationships in Amazonian forest fragmentsFernanda Michalski
Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, United Kingdom
Conserv Biol 21:1626-40. 2007..Our findings highlight the importance of large (>10,000 ha), relatively undisturbed forest patches to maximize persistence and maintain baseline abundances of Neotropical forest mammal species...
The cost-effectiveness of biodiversity surveys in tropical forestsToby A Gardner
Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK
Ecol Lett 11:139-50. 2008..To improve the cost-effectiveness of biodiversity research we encourage a combination of clearer research goals and the use of an objective evidence-based approach to selecting study taxa...

Hunting for sustainability in tropical secondary forestsLuke Parry
School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ, United Kingdom
Conserv Biol 23:1270-80. 2009..We conclude that secondary forests can sustainably provide only 2% of the required protein intake of Amazonian smallholders and are unlikely to be sufficient for sustainable hunting in other tropical forest regions...

Associations between primates and other mammals in a central Amazonian forest landscapeTorbjørn Haugaasen
Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, P O Box 5003, 1432, As, Norway
Primates 49:219-22. 2008..We suggest that the associations involving the coatis are connected to foraging and vigilance but may be induced by a common alternative food resource at a time of food shortage...
