Functional Traits Are Good Predictors of Tree Species Abundance Across 101 Subtropical Forest Species in China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
What causes variation in species abundance for a given site remains a central question in community ecology. Foundational to trait-based ecology is the expectation that functional traits determine species abundance. However, the relative success of using

Trap efficiency evaluation for small mammals in the southern Amazon [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2015
The effectiveness of ecological researches on small mammals strongly depends on trapping techniques to survey communities and populations accurately. The main goal of this study was to assess the efficiency of three types of traps (Sherman, Tomahawk and ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]

, 2020
Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Abundance and ecological associations of small mammals [PDF]

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2019
ABSTRACTEffective conservation and management of small mammals require knowledge of the population dynamics of co‐occurring species. We estimated the abundances, autocorrelations, and spatiotemporal associations of 4 small‐mammal species from 2011–2016 using live‐trapping mark‐recapture methods on 9 sites across elevation and canopy openness gradients ...

Integrating multiple sources of ecological data to unveil macroscale species abundance

Nature Communications, 2020
Measurement of species abundance is fundamental in ecology, yet challenging at large spatial scales. Here, the authors show estimates of abundance of 1248 woody plant species over the East Asian islands that highlight macroevolutionary processes of ...
