Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that play an important role in wood formation in plants. However, the significance of the link between miRNAs and their target transcripts in wood formation remains unclear in rubber ...

Liana competition with tropical trees varies seasonally but not with tree species identity [PDF]
Ecology, 2015 Lianas in tropical forests compete intensely with trees for above‐ and belowground resources and limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana competition with adult canopy trees may be particularly strong, and, if lianas compete more intensely with some tree species than others, they may influence tree species composition.

The Thermal Tolerances, Distributions, and Performances of Tropical Montane Tree Species
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Due to global warming, many species will face greater risks of thermal stress, which can lead to changes in performance, abundance, and/or geographic distributions.

Why abundant tropical tree species are phylogenetically old [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Significance Neutral population models assume that competing species are ecologically equivalent and predict several properties of extant ecosystems. Ecological aspects of neutral models have been tested repeatedly, with a special focus on tropical trees, but their macroevolutionary predictions have received little attention.

Breeding Systems of Tree Species of a Lowland Tropical Community [PDF]
Evolution, 1974 Little information is available on the breeding systems of tropical forest trees. Yet a knowledge of reproductive methods is essential for an understanding of the patterns of gene flow and genetic differentiation within and between populations. Such information, in turn, is fundamental to an understanding of speciation and the genetic relationships ...

A catastrophic tropical drought kills hydraulically vulnerable tree species
Global Change Biology, 2020 Drought‐related tree mortality is now a widespread phenomenon predicted to increase in magnitude with climate change. However, the patterns of which species and trees are most vulnerable to drought, and the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive, in
