The author describes tropical rainforest ecology based around the 3 types of biological diversity (also known as biodiversity), which are known as genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. While the book focuses on tropical rainforests, such ecosystems have micro-ecosystems and there are other ecosystems (cloud forests) found in ...

The Origins of Tropical Rainforest Hyperdiversity
Trends in Plant Science, 2015Traditional models for tropical species richness contrast rainforests as "museums" of old species or "cradles" of recent speciation. High plant species diversity in rainforests may be more likely to reflect high episodic evolutionary turnover of species--a scenario implicating high rates of both speciation and extinction through geological time.

Fate and Transport of Mercury through Waterflows in a Tropical Rainforest.
Environmental Science and TechnologyKnowledge gaps of mercury (Hg) biogeochemical processes in the tropical rainforest limit our understanding of the global Hg mass budget. In this study, we applied Hg stable isotope tracing techniques to quantitatively understand the Hg fate and transport

Tropical montane cloud forests are a rare environment, defined and limited by the persistent presence of clouds and mists. They account for only 0.26% of the Earths land surface (Bubb et al. 2004). Despite this small area, tropical montane systems contain approximately 25% of all terrestrial biodiversity and therefore represent incredibly important ...

Ant-gardens of tropical Asian rainforests
Naturwissenschaften, 2006Ant-garden (AG) associations are systems of epiphytic plants and arboricolous (i.e., tree-living) ants, in which the ants build fragile carton nests containing organic material. They collect and incorporate seeds or fruits of epiphytes that then germinate and grow on the nest [sensu Corbara et al. (1999) 38:73-89].

Ecology of tropical butterflies in rainforest gaps
Oecologia, 2001Tropical forest gaps are ephemeral and patchily distributed within forest areas and have very different light environments compared with closed-canopy forest. We used fruit-baited traps to investigate if gaps are exploited by more opportunistic butterfly species compared with closed-canopy forest.
