Appendix 1 –Main features of the 28 studied areas inPontal do Paranapanema, southeastern Brazil: AREA; degree of proximity (PROX) and vegetation structure (VEG–Factor1of a Principal Component Analysis, as the lower the value, the better the conservation status of the forest). Areas were classified according to the size: C, control; L1-L7, large patches; M1-M7, medium patches andS1-S7, small patches.
