Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Large‐seeded, animal‐dispersed (LSAD) trees include some of the most valuable and threatened species in the tropics, but they are chronically underrepresented in regenerating forests. Toucans disperse many LSAD species, so attracting toucans to regenerating forests should help re‐establish more diverse tree communities.

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 12, Page 1826-1837, December 2021., 2021 Remnant trees and forest fragments in agricultural landscapes can be important sources of propagules to facilitate forest recovery. However, many studies simply quantify forest cover in the surrounding landscape as a percentage, with little attention given to species composition, and subsequently fail to detect an effect on recruitment patterns.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 439-454, July 2021., 2021 Under favourable conditions, secondary rainforest recovered similar levels of species richness and key traits of old‐growth forest dung beetle communities. The carrion beetle community did not recover as well as the dung beetle community, and overall abundance was a third lower in naturally regenerating secondary forest compared with old growth ...

Revista Forestal Mesoamericana Kurú, 2012 La intercepción de precipitación en plantaciones de V. ferruginea Mart. y V. guatemalensis Donn. Sm. fue estudiada en la estación biológica La Selva, Heredia, Costa Rica. Se realizaron mediciones diarias de precipitación bruta, precipitación de copas y escorrentía fustal de agosto a noviembre del 2004.

Ecology, Volume 97, Issue 10, Page 2772-2779, October 2016., 2016 Abstract Many studies suggest that biodiversity may be particularly important for ecosystem multifunctionality, because different species with different traits can contribute to different functions. Support, however, comes mostly from experimental studies conducted at small spatial scales in low‐diversity systems.

Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with hydroxyl groups (MWCNTs‐OH) have been incorporated into polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea‐formaldehyde (UF) adhesives utilized in tropical wood gluing. The Raman spectroscopy, the atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to describe the MWCNTs‐OH.
