Competition influences tree growth, but not mortality, across environmental gradients in Amazonia and tropical Africa

Ecology, Volume 101, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Competition among trees is an important driver of community structure and dynamics in tropical forests. Neighboring trees may impact an individual tree’s growth rate and probability of mortality, but large‐scale geographic and environmental variation in these competitive effects has yet to be evaluated across the tropical forest biome.

Evolutionary dynamics and biogeography of Musaceae reveal a correlation between the diversification of the banana family and the geological and climatic history of Southeast Asia

New Phytologist, Volume 210, Issue 4, Page 1453-1465, June 2016., 2016
Summary Tropical Southeast Asia, which harbors most of the Musaceae biodiversity, is one of the most species‐rich regions in the world. Its high degree of endemism is shaped by the region's tectonic and climatic history, with large differences between northern Indo‐Burma and the Malayan Archipelago.
