Table 1S: Assessment of accuracy of the SOS Mata Atlântica/INPE (2008) map of

remaining forest for the year 2005. The G statistics is the percentage of pixels correctly

classified (i.e., forest and matrix). Standard deviation (sd) for Kappa´s statistics are

shown. Forest omission error is the percentage of forest on the reference map that was

mapped as matrix on the map used for the analysis. Forest commission error is the

percentage of matrix on the reference map that was mapped as forest on the map used

for the analysis.

Atlantic Forest region: (a) Araucaria, (b) Bahia, (c) Diamantina, (d) Interior, (e)

Pernambuco, (f) Serra do Mar and (g) São Francisco. Source of map: SOS Mata

Atlântica Foundation, 2005.

Figure 2S: Size distributions of remaining forest fragments within each biogeographical

sub-region (BSR) of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region.: (a) Araucaria, (b) Bahia, (c)

Diamantina, (d) Interior, (e) Pernambuco, (f) Serra do Mar and (g) São Francisco. %A:

percentage of total area; %NP: percentage of number of fragments.

Figure 3S: Amount of forest habitat under variable depth of edge effect for the

biogeographical sub-regions (BSRs) of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region. The area is

cumulative, and the largest amount for each region represents the total remaining forest

cover of that region. Edge depths of 100 and 250 meters are highlighted. See Table 1 for

BSR abbreviations.

Figure 4S: Largest cluster size of functionally connected habitat forest fragments (ha)

for varying functional distance linkages (m), for each biogeographical sub-region of the

Brazilian Atlantic Forest region.

(nature reserves, NR) and amount of forest per class of distance from nature reserves,
