First Evidence of Fallen Fruit Feeding by Bats Revealed by Camera Traps in a Tropical Dry Forest
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.Ground foraging among volant frugivores is an underappreciated aspect of behavioral flexibility. Here we report the first evidence of fruit bats feeding on fallen fruit, captured by camera traps in a Costa Rican tropical dry forest. These observations provide insight into the flexibility and mechanisms of coexistence among frugivores.

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Dispersal unit characteristics provide crucial insights into species ecology and are essential for the conservation and restoration of ecosystems. The Caatinga, the largest ecosystem of seasonally dry tropical forests and woodlands in South America, remains underrepresented in terms of dispersal unit data, which are often scattered across the ...

Mariposas del bosque tropical seco de Nicaragua
Tropical dry forests support high biodiversity but are globally threatened. The dry forest region of Nicaragua spans the length of the country on the Pacific side, incorporating a number of volcanic locations. Despite the importance of dry forests, there have been few quantitative studies of the entire butterfly fauna of these regions.

Land use history and landscape forest cover determine tropical forest recovery
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2365-2381, October 2024.Both a higher land use intensity and fragmented forest landscape decreases the speed of forest recovery, indicating that human actions and landscape transformation shape the course of succession. Restoration in fragmented forest landscapes through natural regeneration is more suitable in areas with low previous land use intensity, higher forest ...

Growth–defense trade‐offs promote habitat isolation between recently‐diverged species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Growth–defense trade‐offs have long been implicated in tropical plant diversity, but how do these tradeoffs contribute to reproductive isolation? This study characterizes growth–defense trade‐offs between two recently diverged tropical plants and explore their role in maintaining strong habitat isolation.

Regional differences of functional and taxonomic bird diversity in tropical agroforests of Peru
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2024.We studied changes in the functional and taxonomic dissimilarity of bird communities in cacao agroforests and adjacent forests in two landscapes dominated by different forest types (dry tropical forest and subtropical rainforest). We found that the functional traits that are most vulnerable to disappear in agroforests at increasing distance from forest

Co‐production of agroecological innovations to improve sustainability in South American fruit farms
People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 833-848, April 2024.Abstract Agricultural intensification and expansion are the main drivers of biodiversity loss that continue to increase this century, especially in South America. International markets and global policy provide incentives and frameworks to address this, but these are unlikely to be effective unless farmers on the ground are enabled and motivated to ...
