Manual of tropical bryology [PDF]

, 2003
Bryophytes belong to the oldest land plants. They existed already in the Palaeozoic 300 mio years ago in forms which were hardly different from the extant species. They remained relatively unchanged with relatively low evolution rates (and are thus often

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Pre-contact Indigenous fire stewardship: a research framework and application to a Pacific Northwest temperate rainforest

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Fire is a key disturbance process that shapes the structure and function of montane temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Recent research is revealing more frequent historical fire activity in the western central Cascades than expected by ...

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

Ecography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Role of human agency in the transformation of the biogeography of Sri Lanka

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017
The area referred to as the ‘Central Highlands of Sri Lanka’, despite being the venue of a thin scatter of ‘Stone Age’ human settlements was sparsely populated by man throughout the island’s ‘Pre-Modern Era’, and much of it, especially at its higher ...
