Nowadays, habitat loss is one of the main threats to terrestrial
vertebrates' survival. Due to the decreasing of continuous natural
areas, and consequent habitat loss, how animals use these remaining
patches, is becoming a central question for the conservation of
these species. The loss of the original land covers can promote a
change in the composition, diversity and behaviour of the native
fauna, as well as constrain the community structures. The outcome
of these processes of habitat fragmentation due to human
agro-forestry management is a landscape where patches of
autochthonous/native vegetation are immersed in a matrix of human
shaped landscapes. Although some carnivores are sensitive to
fragmentation, some species can benefit with the expansion of
agriculture. This book discusses the importance and role of those
agricultural matrix for species conservation.
