Conspecific Negative Distance‐Dependence and New Zealand Podocarp Forest Dynamics
ABSTRACT The Janzen‐Connell hypothesis proposed that conspecific negative density or distance dependence (CNDDD) helps maintain the species richness of tropical rainforests through the action of specialist natural enemies that suppress conspecific recruitment beneath canopy trees.

We document an annual dry season migration of the butterfly Panacea prola across a 5‐year period at a lowland Amazonian site in southeastern Peru, adding to our extremely limited knowledge of insect migration in the world's largest and most biodiverse rainforest.

ABSTRACT Tropical dry forests are among the ecosystems most threatened by human activities worldwide. The Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest restricted to northeastern Brazil, exemplifies this scenario, as local human populations strongly depend on forest resources.

For diverse ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a common garden, we tested a three‐tier approach to clarifying the drivers of gmax. Our analyses yielded novel findings for this wide‐ranging species: a larger gmax was achieved through greater epidermal allocation to stomata, via a higher stomatal index and smaller epidermal pavement cells; larger ...

Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

Primary forests hosted more diurnal species and exhibited significant diel specialization. Secondary forests were less species‐rich, dominated by invasive ants, with reduced diel partitioning and more species active at night. Although the overall ant activity was higher during the day, this pattern was stratum‐dependent: arboreal and terrestrial ants ...
