We assess the effect of forest loss on bird diversity in the whole landscape mosaic.

Forest loss decreased forest-specialist and habitat-generalist bird diversity.

Forest loss restricted forest birds to a few sites in the landscape.

Preserving forest cover is paramount for bird diversity in anthropogenic landscapes.

Two geographically partitioned haplotypes reported.

No recent gene flow between islands.

Results indicate good chances of Rata Island remaining rat-free after eradication.

The lowland tapir was the most recorded species using the underpasses.

Tapir underpass use summed more than 180 tons of biomass that crossed safely under the highway.

Mammal species assemblages differed among use in cattle boxes and drainage culverts.

Traffic activity on the highway peaked opposite to the activity peak of the mammals in the crossings.

Countries with limited financial resources should consider retrofitting of existing highway underpasses.

Fire has a strong impact in structuring the community of non-volant small mammals.

Fire may restrict and promote the occurrence of different mammal species.

Vegetation attributes have a fundamental role in the occupancy by small mammals.

Fire might disrupt gallery forests’ functioning affecting keystone interactions.

Domestic cats move far away from the household infrequently.

Cats often used native forest (12% of fixes), overlapping with guignas (L. guigna).

House proximity to forest edge (>200 m) strongly predicts the use of forest by cats.

Land subdivision, low human care and lack of control can exacerbate cats' impacts.

Public awareness policies needs to be more comprehensive and interdisciplinary.

Brazilian scientists should be consulted and participate in proposing laws.

Non bee pollinators must be considered in protective policies.

Brazilian largest biome has the lower number of pollinator-policies.

Policies on biodiversity protection in cities and on long-term monitoring are necessary.

Review of peer-reviewed literature on biodiversity conservation in insular Caribbean between 2000 and 2015.

On a per year base, Caribbean-based authors found in 32% of papers, accounted for 22% of lead paper authorships, represented 17% of authors per paper.

No evidence of improvement in the above metrics over time.

Marked differences in paper contributions among Caribbean locations, with evidence of low intra-regional collaboration.

Certainly attention needs to be brought to the potential consequences of creating novel animal communities on disease transmission

Bats host pathogens that cause significant human and animal morbidity and mortality.

We highlight how to prevent, detect and mitigate vampire bats and rabies in rewilding projects.

Global climate and land-use changes will have a serious impact on individual species and communities of hummingbirds.

Existing protected areas showed an important reduction of surface across the species distribution and hotspot areas for future.

A large proportion of “safe places” does not match the areas targeted for agriculture expansion in future scenarios.

It is imperative that policy-makers promote policies that are resilient to both threats as soon as possible.

Small forest-steppe parches are embedded in pine plantation matrix in Central-Europe.

Species turnover was higher for steppes than for forests, steppes are more isolated.

Habitat type, fragments size and matrix quality affects plants spiders and ants.

The habitat-specific matrix quality effects call for a situation-specific management.

Establishing native tree plantation and extensive grasslands conserve the biota.
