A new classification and conceptual framework for plant phenology are proposed to resolve
problems in describing tropical patterns. A long-term (12 yr) survey of flowering in 254 …

To examine the interspecific reproductive synchrony of Dipterocarpaceae with vertebrate
responses to seed availablity, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution and phenology …

The first systematic observation of a general flowering, a phenomenon unique to lowland
mixed‐dipterocarp forests in Southeast Asia, is presented. During general flowering, which …

Research in tropical forestry is confronted with the task of finding strategies to alleviate
pressure on remaining forests, and techniques to enhance forest regeneration and restore …

The general flowering (GF) events of forests in south-east Asia are perhaps the most
spectacular phenomena in tropical biology. GF events occur at multiyear intervals. In GF …

General flowering is a community‐wide masting phenomenon, which is thus far documented
only in aseasonal tropical forests in Asia. Although the canopy and emergent layers of …

One of the most intriguing and complex characteristics of reproductive phenology in tropical
forests is high diversity within and among forests. To understand such diversity, Newstrom et …

Asian tropical forests are amongst the most diverse on the planet, a richness that belies the
fact that they are dominated by a single family of trees, the Dipterocarpaceae. Many other …

We examined patterns of seedling recruitment and their underlying mechanisms in a
population of Chrysophyllum sp. nov.(Sapotaceae), a shade‐tolerant canopy species in …

At irregular intervals of 2 to 10 years the aseasonal tropical rain forests in west Malesia
come into heavy mass flowering, followed by mast fruiting. During a heavy flowering almost …
