For present-day carnivore faunas, the distribution of these four guilds in terms of three broad size categories has been found to be characteristic of different habitats. The presence of two omnivores distinguishes the Paalar fauna from tropical evergreen forest on the one hand and from temperate...
Its vegetation, representative of several distinct ecosystems, includes evergreen tropical humid forest; mountain rainforest; tropical deciduous rainforest; pine-oak forest; and evergreen cloud forest. On Cerro Ovando alone, about 800 different species of plants have been recorded. Map of Chiapas. ...
Tropical evergreen forests growing below 800m are repositories of unique bio-diversity. The next vegetation zone is the subtropical grassland and forests found between 900m and 1800m. The tree rhododendron is found in this zone, along with forest of oak, walnut and sal, and numerous varieties ...
B. Subtropical Mixed Evergreen Forest This includes the Mahabharat Lekh, which rises to a height of about 2400m and comprises the outer wall of the Himalayan range. Great rivers such as the Karnali, Narayani, and Sapta Koshi flow through this area into the broad plains of the Terai. This...
The 169 species of birds recorded on the 30 ha Mo Singto Forest Dynamics Plot, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, are a subset of the 329 species recorded in the headquarters area of the park. Most of the Mo Singto-recorded species are typical of evergreen forest interior but the transient...
Soil fauna abundance and diversity in a secondary semi-evergreen forest in Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles): influence of soil type and dominant tree species The importance of secondary tropical forests regarding the maintenance of soil fauna abundance and diversity is poorly known. The aims of this stu...
Tropical rainforests play important roles in carbon sequestration and are hot spots for biodiversity. Tropical forests are being replaced by rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations, causing widespread concern of a crash in biodiversity. Such changes in a
our results show that climate change forced a turnover of flora and fauna, suggesting there was a change from large-size perissodactyl-dominant fauna in forests under a warm-temperate climate to small rodent/lagomorph-dominant fauna in forest-steppe in a dry-temperate climate across the Eocene–...
Savannas can be thought of as geographical and climatic transition zones between the deserts of the higher northern and southern latitudes and the equatorial rainforests. It is relatively arbitrary to distinguish savannas from other significant vegetation types like tropical deciduous forests (or monsoon ...
