Effects of habitat fragmentation on species richness and community composition of medium- and large-sized mammals in sugarcane-dominated Cerrado landscapes, southwestern Goiás, Brazil
Ednaldo Cândido Rocha
The Cerrado ecodomain has experienced significant fragmentation and habitat loss, primarily due to agricultural expansion and, more recently, the rapid increase in sugarcane cultivation. This study examines how landscape composition and configuration affect the richness and community composition of medium- and large-sized mammals in southwestern Goiás, Brazil, a region extensively modified by sugarcane agriculture. From 2013 to 2019, mammal species were recorded using camera traps installed in r
