Impacts of tropical rainforest disturbance on mammalian parasitismLadds, Z
Here we provide an assessment of the impacts of human-induced degradation on global TMF structure and of the forest’s ability to recover to its pre-disturbance condition. Specifically, building on a previous work23, we quantify in a consistent manner at pantropical scale: (1) the extent of ...
GP2 is located close to the proposed Pleistocene forest refuge on the CVL (Maley, 1996; Maley and Brenac, 1998). This refuge was supported by the discovery of endemic alleles in the rainforest trees Santiria trimera (Koffi et al., 2011) and Irvingia gabonensis (Lowe et al., 2010). ...

(FAO2010; Feeley et al.2012; Yin et al.2018). There may also be many unknown consequences associated with such changes (Manchego et al.2017). This will possibly alter the balance and functioning of the ecosystem, with subsequent negative impacts on the livelihoods of the forest-dependent ...
The negative impacts identified above appear limited to large palms and do not involve other fruiting trees such as the Myristicaceae. We would conclude therefore that this process is not a disturbance that affects large swathes of forest (or everywhere there is a tree that produces large peccary...
(also see ref.39), we show that this resilience may deteriorate as a result of redistributions of rainfall due to global climate change. We further argue that the Congo rainforest should also be considered a tipping element. Because our results indicate that forest cover in the Congo is ...
RAINFOR and PPBio networks, the largest on-the-ground dataset yet mobilized to address the impact of a single tropical drought. These structurally intact forest plots span Amazonian and Atlantic forests including those that are transitional with dry forests and Cerrado. We investigate the impact of...
