Isolated Trees in a Fragmented Tropical Landscape: A View Through the Soil Seed Bank
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.Here, we investigated patterns of plant species diversity, abundance, and composition in the soil seed banks of cattle pastures, under fleshy‐fruited, and nonfleshy‐fruited trees within pastures, and in secondary forest patches at ten study sites in Brazil.

The Rapid Recovery of a Caatinga Dry Forest is Mediated by Disturbance‐Adapted Species
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2025.Overall, regenerating and old‐growth forest stands exhibited similar plant diversity across all ontogenetic stages, with a negligible role played by forest stand age, precipitation, and chronic human disturbance. Species exclusively recorded as adults or seeds were mostly dispersed by animals, indicating that several species fail in either dispersing ...

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 ...

Tree traits are a stronger predictor of bee traits and species richness than taxonomic diversity
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 281-292, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits help to understand biological diversity and the mechanism by which ecological communities are structured and how they respond to the environment. For example, the high tree species diversity within tropical forests can be grouped into a few functional ...
