Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Tropical forests are disappearing, but we have a limited understanding of the factors driving species coexistence in mammal communities of old‐growth forest ecosystems. The total energy that is bound by plants is assumed to be a key factor determining mammalian species richness, but accurately measuring energy flows in complex ecosystems is ...
