Long‐Term Fire and Vegetation Change at Cocha Cashu Biological Station, Peru
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.Cocha Cashu is a dynamic system that has experienced various forms of past ecological turnover. However, the dynamism seen at Cocha Cashu was not caused by intensive human activities in the past. ABSTRACT Past human influence from the pre‐Columbian and colonial periods may have played a role in shaping modern Amazonian vegetation.

Vegetation Structural Complexity Across Elevational Gradients: Insights From the Tropical Andes
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Assessing how vegetation volume, fill, and complexity covary along elevation gradients is crucial for understanding the spatial distribution of animal diversity, a key question in biogeography and ecology. Across ecosystems, canopy height sets a limit to vegetation volume, which, combined with vegetation fill, should determine the amount ...

Dietary Profile of Rhinopithecus bieti and Its Socioecological Implications [PDF]
, 2018 To enhance our understanding of dietary adaptations and socioecological correlates in colobines, we conducted a 20-mo study of a wild group of Rhinopithecus bieti (Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys) in the montane Samage Forest.

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1864-1878, March 2025.Summary Grasses are fundamental to human survival, providing a large percentage of our calories, fuel, and fodder for livestock, and an enormous global carbon sink. A particularly important part of the grass plant is the grain‐producing inflorescence that develops in response to both internal and external signals that converge at the shoot tip to ...

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.Rare plant and vertebrate species have been documented to contribute disproportionately to the total morphological structure of species assemblages. These species often possess morphologically extreme traits and occupy the boundaries of morphological space.

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 4, Page 1368-1383, October 2024.Understanding how diverse assemblages of scavengers can coexist on shared ecological resources is a fundamental challenge in community ecology. However, current approaches typically focus on behaviour at carcass provisioning sites, missing how important differences in movement behaviour and foraging strategies can facilitate sympatric species ...

Terrestriality across the primate order: A review and analysis of ground use in primates
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract Terrestriality is relatively rare in the predominantly arboreal primate order. How frequently, and when, terrestriality appears in primate evolution, and the factors that influence this behavior, are not well understood. To investigate this, we compiled data describing terrestriality in 515 extant nonhuman primate taxa.

Lianas shift towards larger sizes and more acquisitive trait values in an Asian tropical rainforest
Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 2, March 2024.Liana communities showed a shift in trait values indicating that they changed towards more large, acquisitive lianas with rapid water use. There are more larger stems through time due to the relatively low mortality of the larger individuals, which is associated with relatively low levels of disturbance.
