Light-Gap disturbances, recruitment limitation, and tree diversity in a neotropical forest

Science, 1999
Light gap disturbances have been postulated to play a major role in maintaining tree diversity in species-rich tropical forests. This hypothesis was tested in more than 1200 gaps in a tropical forest in Panama over a 13-year period.

Neotropical freshwater fishes imperilled by unsustainable policies

, 2017
Neotropical freshwater fishes are the most diverse on the planet (>5,500 species), although nations in Latin America have been negligent regarding their conservation.

Chiroptera Neotropical.

2006
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Phyllostomid bats are fundamental components of the neotropical mammalian diversity and they have the greatest dietary diversity in any mammalian family. Their tendency to occur in a widespread spectrum of different habitats and their capability to carry seeds long distances makes them essential for ...

The rise of the Andes promoted rapid diversification in Neotropical Phlegmariurus (Lycopodiaceae).

New Phytologist, 2018
Tropical mountains are disproportionately biodiverse relative to their surface area, but the processes underlying their exceptional diversity require further study. Here, we use comparative phylogenetic methods to examine the impact of the Andean orogeny

Tapirs of the Neotropics

2019
This chapter presents a concise review of available information on the ecology and conservation of the three Neotropical tapir species: the lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), the mountain tapir (T. pinchaque), and Baird’s tapir (T. bairdii). Tapirs play important roles in the dynamics of tropical ecosystems as browsers, seed dispersers and seed ...

Large reservoirs as ecological barriers to downstream movements of Neotropical migratory fish

, 2015
Most large rivers in South America are fragmented by large dams, and a common management strategy to mitigate impacts has been construction of fish passes.

Palaeoecological background: Neotropics

Climatic Change, 1991
Strong changes of temperature and rainfall effected tropical South America during the last few millions of years; the sequence of the last glacialinterglacial cycle is relatively well known. Humid and cooler climates occurred in the period between >50 000 and approx. 25 000/30 000 B.P. A cold and very dry climate occurred in the period of approx.
