Functional traits of young seedlings predict trade‐offs in seedling performance in three neotropical forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2568-2582, December 2023., 2023
With strikingly consistent patterns across three tropical forests, the authors find strong evidence for the promise of functional traits to provide mechanistic links between seedling form and demographic performance. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that promote the coexistence of hundreds of species over small areas in tropical forest remains a ...

Loss and change: Culture narratives in old industrial regions in East Germany

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1577-1595, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Culture is perceived as the main driver of the restructuring of former industrial centres in capitalist societies. Hence, it proves useful to adopt a cultural approach to regional development in different dimensions, that is, culture as a meaning‐making process, a constitutive part of a community’s identity, or in an aesthetic sense. The study

Functional diversity of snakes is explained by the landscape composition at multiple areas of influence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
This study investigated the impact of roads and landscape composition on the functional diversity of snakes in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The results suggest that landscape composition affects the functional diversity of both road‐killed snakes and those inhabiting the adjacent vegetation within an area of influence ranging from 250 to 2000 m.

Native palms and trees mediate drought impacts on dry neotropical pastures

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1376-1387, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Dry forests are the most threatened biome across the global tropics. Despite their massive conversion into agricultural landscapes, local farmers often retain disperse trees and palms within grazing pastures. Understanding how on‐farm tree cover in the dry neotropics impacts the environmental and productive functions of pastures is key for ...

Bird species occupancy trends in Southeast Mexico over 1900–2020: Accounting for sighting record absences

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 606-618, March 2023., 2023
This article accounts for species absences before occupancy analyses, addressing a long‐standing concern of whether absence is true or due to low sampling effort. The authors affiliate long‐term bird species trends with functional traits in a lowland tropical rainforest landscape in southeast Mexico to help guide land management and conservation ...

Prioritizing forest management actions to benefit marine habitats in data‐poor regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Land‐use change is considered one of the greatest human threats to marine ecosystems globally. Given limited resources for conservation, we adapted and scaled up a spatially explicit, linked land–sea decision support tool using open access global geospatial data sets and software to inform the prioritization of future forest management ...

Sample coverage affects diversity measures of bird communities along a natural recovery gradient of abandoned agriculture in tropical lowland forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 480-491, March 2025.
Our results highlight the importance of standardizing biodiversity measures and incorporating beta diversity in biodiversity monitoring. We demonstrate that taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional bird diversity can be high in secondary forests within smallholder agricultural landscapes.
