New records and a key for species of Synarthonia (lichenized scomycota: Arthoniaceae) in Colombia
For the first time in Colombia, Synarthonia inconspicua (Stirt.) Van den Broeck & Ertz, S. muriformis an den Broeck, Frisch & Ertz, and S. xanthosarcographoides Aptroot are reported and a valid diagnosis is provided for the recently described S ...

Arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and disturbed seasonal tropical forest [PDF]
We investigated the relationship between arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and landscape transformation in tropical forests of southeastern Campeche, Mexico. We surveyed frogs in six distinct habitats: slash and burn agriculture, seasonally flooded forest (

Forests and Landscapes of Dominican Republic [PDF]
Aims: This, in conjunction with the diversity of the substrates and the fact that the island is home to the highest mountains in the Caribbean and with a high rate of endemic species, allows them to be differentiated into three major groups –dry forest ...

Solar Flow Synthesis of Polymer Nanoparticles: Scaling Local Experiments to Global Potential
The large‐scale sunlight‐induced photochemical synthesis of polymer nanoparticles based on the Diels–Alder step‐growth polymerization of a bismaleimide and a difunctional o‐methylbenzaldehyde in a self‐built solar flow reactor is introduced. Furthermore, a framework is established to translate sunlight‐driven experimental results globally—validated in ...

Does degradation from selective logging and illegal activities differently impact forest resources? A case study in Ghana [PDF]
Degradation, a reduction of the ecosystem’s capacity to supply goods and services, is widespread in tropical forests and mainly caused by human disturbance.

Integrating LiDAR, Multispectral and SAR Data to Estimate and Map Canopy Height in Tropical Forests
Developing accurate methods to map vegetation structure in tropical forests is essential to protect their biodiversity and improve their carbon stock estimation. We integrated LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), multispectral and SAR (Synthetic Aperture

High density of tree-cavities and snags in tropical dry forest of western Mexico raises questions for a latitudinal gradient. [PDF]
It has been suggested that a latitudinal gradient exists of a low density of snags and high density of naturally-formed tree-cavities in tropical vs. temperate forests, though few cavities may have characteristics suitable for nesting by birds.
