The results of several studies suggest that forest fragmentation affects the mating patterns
and reproductive success of tropical tree species by reducing pollinator activity, pollen …

Spatial isolation caused by forest fragmentation and temporal isolation caused by
asynchronous flowering of plants have been proposed as important factors that affect the …

Tropical trees are particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation because of their low
densities, self‐incompatibilty system, and high rates of outbreeding. Forest fragmentation is …

Forest fragmentation and the resulting spatial isolation of tree species can modify the activity
of pollinators and may have important implications for the reproductive success and mating …

Canopy tree species are the dominant elements of the species‐rich, fragile and endangered
tropical rain forest ecosystems, yet little is known about the genetics of these species. We …

Mating systems were examined through allozyme analysis for nine tropical tree species that
occur on Barro Colorado Island, Republic of Panama. Estimates of outcrossing rates, using …

We compare the distribution of reproductive traits in woody vegetation of 10 wet tropical
forests in northeastern Costa Rica. Based on quantitative sampling of seedlings, saplings …

Invertebrates mediate several important ecological processes, including pollination and
seed predation, and events that affect invertebrate diversity or behaviour can potentially …

Reproductive Ecology of Tropical Forest Plants reviews recent developments in the
reproductive ecology of tropical forest plants and explores the implications of current …

Tropical trees are generally long-lived making it difficult to assess the long-term effects of
habitat fragmentation on genetic diversity. Maintenance of genetic diversity in fragmented …
