Gene Flow and Vertical Stratification of Pollination in the Bat-Pollinated Liana <i>Marcgravia longifolia</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigates pollen dispersal, vertical stratification of gene flow, and spatial genetic structure in the bat‐pollinated liana Marcgravia longifolia in a western Amazonian forest. Flowers are produced from the forest floor to the canopy, allowing analysis of pollination across strata.

Collared Peccary Wallows are Hubs of Animal Activity and Diversity in a Central American Wet Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCollared peccary wallows are used by a diverse assemblage of vertebrates in a Central American tropical wet forest. Wallows had significantly higher vertebrate activity and diversity compared to surrounding forest. Wallow visitors included 13 amphibian, 2 reptile, 11 bird, and 16 mammal species, engaged in behaviors including reproduction, drinking ...

Growth-defense trade-offs promote habitat isolation between recently-diverged species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGrowth–defense trade‐offs have long been implicated in tropical plant diversity, but how do these tradeoffs contribute to reproductive isolation? This study characterizes growth–defense trade‐offs between two recently diverged tropical plants and explore their role in maintaining strong habitat isolation.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of <i>Nothofagus</i> in southern Patagonia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEctomycorrhizal fungi play essential roles in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrient uptake at high latitudes. However, they have disproportionately been studied in boreal forests dominated by evergreen conifers. We characterized ectomycorrhizal associations and the nitrogen economy of co‐occurring deciduous and evergreen angiosperms from the genus ...

Source height and contact with terrestrial soil drive transplanted epiphyte performance
Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 11, Page 2388-2400, November 2023., 2023 Tropical vascular epiphytes, such as this orchid Peristeria pendula, performed worse when experimentally transplanted to new substrates in contact with terrestrial soil, versus substrates just above the soil surface. The results are some of the first empirical data supporting the epiphyte enemy escape hypothesis.

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 650-664, May 2023., 2023 Our findings suggest a continuous shift in the frugivore community composition along the vertical gradient of a plant species fruiting across forest strata, from a few generalized frugivores in the understorey to a diverse set of specialized frugivores in the canopy.
