Can variation in seed removal patterns of Neotropical pioneer tree species be explained by local ant community composition?

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 619-631, March 2021., 2021
We combined observations of seed removal by ants with a characterization of the above‐ and below ground ant communities at five sites on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, to determine if seed removal patterns were associated with local ant community structure.

Woody species recruitment under monospecific plantations of pioneer trees - facilitation or inhibition?

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2012
The successional model of forest restoration is based on the facilitation process, in which the establishment of pioneer tree species favors the late successional tree species. We tested the hypothesis of facilitation through a case study, comparing tree
