High dispersal ability is related to fast life‐history strategies

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1349-1362, July 2018., 2018
Dispersal has been largely neglected in comparative demographic studies, despite its pivotal importance for populations. Our explicit incorporation of dispersal in a comparative life‐history framework provides key insights to bridge the gap between dispersal ecology and life‐history traits. Species with fast life‐history strategies disperse their seeds

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Allocation Strategies in a Chronosequence of Tropical Dry Forests: Plant Coordination and Environmental Drivers

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2025.
We explored the allocation strategies of N and P in leaves and fine roots (metabolic organs) and, in stems and coarse roots (woody organs) of nine dominant tree species in secondary tropical dry forests using scaling analysis. The scaling relationships of P versus N concentrations in non‐leaf organs were isometric across secondary succession and ...

Height–diameter allometry for a dominant palm to improve understanding of carbon and forest dynamics in forests of Puerto Rico

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 56, Issue 2, March 2024.
Palms are prominent components of many tropical forests but their structural characteristics impede accurate estimates of their aboveground biomass (AGB) in tropical forests. We built a new model for estimating height for a highly abundant palm in Puerto Rico, Prestoea acuminata.
