Species richness in these fragments now reflects local turnover, not long-term attrition of species. We expect that similar processes could be operating in other fragmented systems that show unexpectedly low extinction. 展开 关键词: Animals Trees Rain Species Specificity Birds Biota Brazil Extinction,...
In understanding the impacts of selective logging on biodiversity, relatively little is known about the critical behavioral link between altered forest con

Moreover, since manual removal of fruit pulp decreased the germination rate of seeds, the shrub species studied may not have developed adaptations for seed dispersal by animals. The most probable explanation for this situation is that the Velvet Asity has shifted relatively recently to occupy the ...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) demonstrated a new ecological factor that influences organisms through a multi-approach. Yet, the impacts of ALAN on understory plants remain largely unknown. We evaluated whether ALAN would affect the leaf mass per area
This survey adds to the hitherto small body of literature comparing understory and overstory strata in tropical rainforests and reveals previously overlooked patterns of floristic diversity. Keywords: herbaceous layer; Neotropics; rainforest; Gentry transect; phylogenetic diversity; plant diversity; Mexico...
What is the Forest Canopy? What are Nurse Trees? What is the Difference Between the Jungle and the Rainforest? What is the Pygmy Forest? What is an Old Growth Forest? Discussion Comments Byanon349821— On Sep 29, 2013 Thank you so much with some of the words I needed for class!
Context Light impacts seedling dynamics and animals, either directly or through their effect on air temperature and relative humidity. However, the micro-environment of tropical forest understories is heterogeneous. Aims We explored whether aerial laser scanning (LiDAR) can describe short-scale micro-...
Background Mixed-species groups in animals have been shown to confer antipredator, foraging and other benefits to their members that may provide selective advantages. In most cases, however, it is unclear whether functional benefits are a principal driver of heterospecific groups, or whether groups...
