Influence of sugarcane plantations on the population dynamics and community structure of small mammals in a savanna-agricultural landscape
Conversion of native habitats into agricultural monocultures is a major cause of biodiversity loss favouring a small number of generalist species. Rodents can cause significant declines in crop yield, hence understanding the factors affecting their population dynamics is of importance to the agricul...
