Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 9, Page 1190-1204, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Mining is increasingly pressuring areas of critical importance for biodiversity conservation, such as the Brazilian Amazon. Biodiversity data are limited in the tropics, restricting the scope for risks to be appropriately estimated before mineral licensing decisions are made.

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 467-479, March 2023., 2023 We show that vegetation structure can predict species richness and functional diversity in Amazonian mixed‐species flocks in primary and secondary forests. In addition, we show that secondary forest flocks retain a large percentage of the functional diversity exhibited by their primary forest counterparts. Abstract Secondary forest has the potential to

Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlates
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 49-69, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser ...

Animal tracking moves community ecology: Opportunities and challenges
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 7, Page 1334-1344, July 2022., 2022 Eltonian and Grinnelian dynamics inferred from multi‐species tracking data. Panel (a): Tracks of five individuals from three different species reveal intraspecific and interspecific interactions through time, thereby enabling the construction of interaction topologies including both conspecifics and heterospecifics at an individual level.

Fine root dynamics across pantropical rainforest ecosystems
Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 15, Page 3657-3680, August 2021., 2021 We present the largest global dataset to date on tropical forest fine root biomass, productivity, residence time, and allocation of total net primary productivity to fine roots, collected to a standardised protocol across 47 Global Ecosystems Monitoring plots in lowland and montane forests South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

CALIBRATING CELLULAR AUTOMATA OF LAND USE/COVER CHANGE MODELS USING A GENETIC ALGORITHM [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 Spatially explicit land use / land cover (LUCC) models aim at simulating the patterns of change on the landscape. In order to simulate landscape structure, the simulation procedures of most computational LUCC models use a cellular automata to replicate ...
