Neutral‐based processes overrule niche‐based processes in shaping tropical montane orchid communities across spatial scales

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 1614-1628, August 2023., 2023
High compositional turnover, even across habitats with the highest degree of human intervention, suggests that both forest‐dwelling and open‐habitat species do not easily disperse across habitats. Species dispersal is the major force of orchid community turnover and might be strongly dependent upon macroevolutionary processes and species life‐history ...

The seasonally dry tropical forest species Cavanillesia chicamochae has a middle Quaternary origin

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 91-99, January 2022., 2022
We use DNA sequence data to understand the evolutionary history of the genus Cavanillesia (Malvaceae), with particular emphasis on C. chicamochae, an emblematic succulent‐trunked tree endemic to seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) of the Chicamocha Canyon of Colombia, South America.

‘BIG DATA’ AND ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT'S APPROACH TO SCIENCE

open access: yesGerman Life and Letters, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 394-415, July 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT This article departs from the hypothesis that Alexander von Humboldt used ‘Big Data’ in order to bring new scientific evidence into the open. His method of measuring and combining temperature, humidity, altitude and magnetism in a geographical environment must be regarded as innovative, indeed, as the foundation of modern science.

Contrasting trends in biodiversity of birds and trees during succession following cacao agroforest abandonment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 1248-1260, June 2021., 2021
Our research highlights the value of actively cultivated cacao agroforests and secondary forest alongside primary forests as reservoirs of biodiversity. By supporting both biodiversity and livelihoods, traditionally grown shade‐cacao agroforests fall within a people and nature framework.

Ultrapotassic volcanic centres as potential paleogeographic indicators : the Mediterranean Tortonian 'salinity crisis', southern Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dated peperites associated with ultrapotassic volcanic centres of the Neogene Volcanic Province of southeast Spain are of particular interest within the complex tectonomagmatic context of the Western Mediterranean because they show clear volcano ...
