Nesting resource availability for cavity adopter birds in a tropical dry forest of Central Mexico
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2022 Nesting resources for cavity-adopter birds commonly have spatial aggregation patterns within tropical dry forests. Spatial aggregation occurs because large trees, carrying large cavities, are restricted within small semideciduous forest areas.

Threatened Neotropical seasonally dry tropical forest: evidence of biodiversity loss in sap-sucking herbivores over 75 years [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Tropical forests cover 7% of the earth's surface and hold 50% of known terrestrial arthropod species. Alarming insect declines resulting from human activities have recently been documented in temperate and tropical ecosystems worldwide, but reliable data

Asynchronous response of tropical forest leaf phenology to seasonal and el Niño-driven drought. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The Hawaiian Islands are an ideal location to study the response of tropical forests to climate variability because of their extreme isolation in the middle of the Pacific, which makes them especially sensitive to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO ...
