Sample coverage affects diversity measures of bird communities along a natural recovery gradient of abandoned agriculture in tropical lowland forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 480-491, March 2025.
Our results highlight the importance of standardizing biodiversity measures and incorporating beta diversity in biodiversity monitoring. We demonstrate that taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional bird diversity can be high in secondary forests within smallholder agricultural landscapes.

Ant-diaspore interactions during secondary succession in the Atlantic forest of Brazil

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
Animal-plant interactions are important for the recovery of diversity and processes in secondary forests, which increasingly dominate the tropical landscape.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Allocation Strategies in a Chronosequence of Tropical Dry Forests: Plant Coordination and Environmental Drivers

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2025.
We explored the allocation strategies of N and P in leaves and fine roots (metabolic organs) and, in stems and coarse roots (woody organs) of nine dominant tree species in secondary tropical dry forests using scaling analysis. The scaling relationships of P versus N concentrations in non‐leaf organs were isometric across secondary succession and ...

Hurricane‐induced changes in mayfly assemblage structure, production and emergence in a tropical island stream Cambios inducidos por los huracanes en la estructura, producción, y emergencia del ensamblaje de Ephemeroptera de una quebrada de isla tropical

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 201-213, February 2025.
Hurricanes create major disturbances to stream ecosystems by producing large floods and removing riparian vegetation. Understanding their impacts is a priority, as hurricane intensity will increase with global climate change. Hurricane disturbance shifts mayfly assemblages from dominance by Leptophlebiidae before to Baetidae after.

Producción y descomposición del mantillo en un bosque secundario húmedo de premontano

, 2016
Litter production and decomposition were studied from March, 1971 to January, 1972 in a Premontane Moist Secondary Forest at San Pedro de Montes de Oca, Costa Rica, 1,200 m above sea level.The forest produced a monthly average of 2,246.10 kg/ha of litter (dry basis); the higher yield oecurred during the dry season (November early May).

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

Diversidad y abundancia de colémbolos edáficos en un bosque primario, un bosque secundario y un cafetal en Costa Rica

Agronomía Costarricense, 2005
Se estudió la diversidad y abundancia de los colémbolos del suelo en 3 ecosistemas: un bosque primario; un bosque secundario; y un cafetal, en el Parque Nacional Tapantí, Costa Rica. Mensualmente, se tomó 8 muestras de suelo en cada ecosistema, para un total de 360 muestras.

Aves como indicadoras ecológicas de etapas sucesionales en un bosque secundario, Antioquia, Colombia

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2020
Las áreas que se recuperan perturbaciones tales como actividades agrícolas y ganaderas, generan un aumento de bosques secundarios que causan cambios en la cantidad y calidad del hábitat disponible para las aves. El Índice de Integridad Biótica (IIB) compara la estructura, composición y función del ensamblaje de las aves en una regeneración secundaria ...

Combining spaceborne lidar from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation with local knowledge for monitoring fragmented tropical landscapes: A case study in the forest–agriculture interface of Ucayali, Peru

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
We employed a co‐production approach leveraging spaceborne lidar and local knowledge to investigate the structural characteristics of the forest‐agriculture interface in Ucayali, Peru. Results indicated higher relative height ratios (RH50/RH95 and RH75/RH95) for mature forest compared to secondary forest (p < .0001), even after accounting for the ...

Conservación de la biodiversidad en sistemas silvopastoriles de Matiguás y Rio Blanco (Matagalpa, Nicaragua)

Ecosistemas, 2006
Con el fin de estudiar la relación entre uso del suelo y diferentes componentes de la biodiversidad de aves moluscos y plantas, se seleccionaron 12 usos de suelo en 41 fincas, 28 en Bulbul y 13 en Paiwas (Matagalpa, Nicaragua).
