Reduced Offspring Viability Is Associated With Long-Term Stability of a Narrow Avian Hybrid Zone. [PDF]
We investigated hybrid viability in a tropical, avian hybrid zone governed by strong selection on male secondary sexual traits between the white‐collared manakin (Manacus candei) and golden‐collared manakin (M. vitellinus). We assessed putative hybrid fitness by investigating adult survival and hatching success along with a prospective selective ...

With strikingly consistent patterns across three tropical forests, the authors find strong evidence for the promise of functional traits to provide mechanistic links between seedling form and demographic performance. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that promote the coexistence of hundreds of species over small areas in tropical forest remains a ...

Abstract Reduction in population size, with its predicted effects on population fitness, is the most alarming anthropogenic impact on endangered species. By introducing compatible individuals, genetic rescue (GR) is a promising but debated approach for reducing the genetic load unmasked by inbreeding and for restoring the fitness of declining ...

Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.

ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

Runnability correlates: Results of environmental scans in Vancouver
Abstract As recreational running grows in popularity, the concepts of runnability and runnable cities have emerged as important dimensions of urban livability. This study examined the environmental characteristics of Vancouver's most popular running routes to determine what makes a city runnable.
