Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Importancia de la heterogeneidad de hábitats para la biodiversidad de hormigas en los Andes de Colombia

Acta Agronómica, 2009
Entre marzo y octubre de 2002 se compararon los ensamblajes de hormigas que forrajean en el suelo en un sistema no manejado (reserva natural El Ciprés) y en algunas fincas vecinas. En dos transectos de 100 m se instalaron estaciones de muestreo cada 10 m

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Morphotype-based characterization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in a restored tropical dry forest, Margarita island-Venezuela

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2015
The mycorrhizal component of revegetated areas after ecological restoration or rehabilitation in arid and semiarid tropical areas has been scarcely assessed, particularly those made after mining disturbance.

Analysis of species pair associations combined with functional traits reveals the effects of environmental filtering and biotic interactions in an unmanaged temperate forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2177-2192, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract We investigated the drivers of interspecific spatial associations among forest woody species by analysing how environmental filtering, hierarchical competition, limiting similarity and colonisation effects shape functional trait distributions and vary with successional ...

Comportamiento gregario aparente de dinosaurios condicionado por una deformación sinsedimentaria. (Igea, La Rioja. España)

Estudios Geologicos, 1996
Durante la etapa de sedimentación que produjo las rocas que afloran en el yacimiento de la Era del Peladillo, hubo momentos de inestabilidad tectónica que deformaron capas de materiales todavía no enterrados.
