Functional Ecology, 2023 Abstract Life forms are key to understand the changes in species composition and vegetation types in space and with succession over time. We asked how life forms from dry and wet regions differ in their leaf traits and trait hyperspace (i.e. trait variation) in early tropical forest succession on abandoned agricultural fields.

The influencing factors for distribution patterns of resident and migrant bird species richness along elevational gradients [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The latitudinal and elevational patterns of species richness of resident and migrant birds have been of interest to researchers over the past few decades, and various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the factors that may affect these patterns ...

Predicting species diversity in tropical forests [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000 A fundamental question in ecology is how many species occur within a given area. Despite the complexity and diversity of different ecosystems, there exists a surprisingly simple, approximate answer: the number of species is proportional to the size of the area raised to some exponent. The exponent often turns out to be roughly 1/4.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Interspecific hybridization occurs among birds, and closely related sister taxa tend to hybridize at a high rate. Genomic hybridization markers are useful for understanding the patterns and processes of hybridization and for conserving endangered species

Measuring the conservation value of tropical primary forests : the effect of occasional species on estimates of biodiversity uniqueness [PDF]
, 2010 Background Developing effective conservation plans for multi-functional landscapes requires an accurate knowledge of the relative conservation value of different land-uses.

Forest Ecology and Management, 2021 Abstract Saving Europe's remaining natural forests is one of the main objectives of the political challenges to stop the ongoing decline of biodiversity. Conservationists and foresters need objective data to assess the success or failure of management actions to conserve biodiversity.

Light-related variation in sapling architecture of three shade-tolerant tree species of the Mexican rain forest [PDF]
, 2008 The crown architecture of three shade-tolerant tree species (two subcanopy and one mid-canopy) was analyzed in relation to the light regime of the forest understorey.

Inferring species interactions in tropical forests [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 We present 2 distinct and independent approaches to deduce the effective interaction strengths between species and apply it to the 20 most abundant species in the long-term 50-ha plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. The first approach employs the principle of maximum entropy, and the second uses a stochastic birth–death model.
