Experimental studies are needed to empirically examine the effects of climate change on
terrestrial organisms and to serve as the basis for predictions and management practices. As …

Tree growth response across environmental gradients is fundamental to understanding
species distributional ecology and forest ecosystem ecology and to predict future ecosystem …

Elevation gradients provide natural laboratories for investigating tropical tree ecophysiology
in the context of climate warming. Previously observed trends with increasing elevation …

A possible response of many plant species to global warming is migration to higher
elevations. However, these migrations may not be required if species can tolerate higher …

A pressing question in current biology is how ecosystems in general, and species in
particular, are responding to climate change in time and space. This dissertation responds to …

The genus Lanio is distributed from southern Mexico to northern Brazil. Until now, nesting
information has been limited and scattered among Lanio species. Nests descriptions are …

ABSTRACT Undulated Antshrikes (Frederickena unduliger) inhabit dense lowland humid
forest understory and, as with other species of antbirds, many aspects of their behavior and …

Tree ferns are a conspicuous and yet poorly known component of Neotropical montane
forests. Conservation efforts for these plants are hindered by a lack of information of patterns …

ABSTRACT The Black Antbird (Cercomacroides serva) inhabits the east Andean foothills
and Amazonian lowlands from Colombia to north Bolivia and western Brazil. It is uncommon …

ABSTRACT The Sooty Antbird (Hafferia fortis) inhabits Andean foothills and lowland humid
