| Abstract | Habitat loss and fragmentation are among the most important threats to biodiversity conservation. They reduce habitat availability, increase isolation and generate patchy environments. At highly fragmented landscapes, changes in habitat spatial structure may profoundly affect species survival, leading several populations to higher chances of local extinction (Wiens, 1995; Lindenmayer et al., 1999; Meyer and Cameron, 2003). Proposing efficient conservation strategies for such species relies initially on understanding how the structure of fragmented landscapes may influence their incidence pattern (Cushman and McGarigal, 2004). The objective of the current study was to understand the influence of forest spatial distribution on the occurrence of three Brazilian Atlantic Forest bird species (Chiroxiphia caudata, Xiphorhynchus fuscus and Pyriglena leucoptera) found in fragmented environments in order to model their incidence pattern based on patch size, connectivity and the surrounding landscape structure. |
