I'm specifically looking for publications that document the recovery of avian and other faunal species in the neotropics (especially Colombia) after riparian areas or forest patches in agricultural landscapes are fenced off from cattle or agricultural practices.
Hello Alan,
A very useful little paper on this general topic is that by Meave et al. (Jorge Meave, Martin Kellman, Andrew MacDougall and Judith Rosales,1991): "Riparian Habitats as Tropical Forest Refugia"
Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters Vol. 1, No. 3 (May, 1991), pp. 69-76.
Published by: Wiley DOI: 10.2307/2997492
Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2997492
I have attached a copy of the paper.
If you check out Jorge Meave's page through Google Scholars Citations ( https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=vv2PcNgAAAAJ&hl=en ), you'll see he has many other publications related to tropical forest ecological community structure -- there could be other titles that that may be of interest to you!
Cheers,
Ian
would successional and regeneration studies using fenced exclosures be relevant? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4452621/ ; http://bios.uic.edu/docs/default-source/PDF-Forms/henryhowe_pub/howe-100.pdf?sfvrsn=2 ; http://www.academia.edu/17744392/Roles_of_Birds_and_Bats_in_Early_Tropical-Forest_Restoration
Hi, we have fenced plots in the dry and the wet forest of Mexico since 2006, here you can see the links to our projects
cheers
