Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is shaped by multiple factors, including life‐history traits, contemporary range distributions, niche constraints, and historical demography. The interplay of these drivers remains largely unexplored, particularly at scales proven to be relevant to conservation management of tropical biodiversity hotspots.

LilloaLas lianas son plantas trepadoras leñosas que compiten con los árboles por los recursos del suelo y del dosel. Su ecología ha sido ampliamente estudiada en ambientes boscosos, pero se conoce muy poco sobre su diversidad y su relación con los árboles ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1572-1588, October 2026.Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Liana infestation impacts tree growth in a lowland tropical moist forest [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2009 Ecosystem-level estimates of the effect of lianas on tree growth in mature tropical forests are needed to evaluate the functional impact of lianas and their potential to affect the ability of tropical forests to sequester carbon, but these are currently ...

Contribution of Lianas to Plant Area Index and Canopy Structure in a Panamanian Forest
, 2015 Lianas are an important component of tropical forests, where they reduce tree growth, fecundity and survival. Competition for light among plants may be intense; however the amount of light that lianas intercept is poorly understood. We used a large-scale

The importance of lianas and consequences for forest management in West Africa
, 2002 Lianas are an important but understudied growth form common to most tropical forests. Recent studies have documented the contribution of lianas, both positive and negative, to many aspects of forest ecology.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013 The neotropical liana Gnetum leyboldii Gnetaceae is a gymnosperm that resembles angiosperms in wood anatomy, overall morphology, and seed dispersal mechanism. Like other woody lianas, seedlings germinate in the shaded forest understory and start climbing
