Analyses of fine‐scale and macrogeographic genetic structure in plant populations provide
an initial indication of how gene flow, natural selection, and genetic drift may collectively …

Background and Aims When ecologically important plant traits are correlated they may be
said to constitute an ecological 'strategy'dimension. Through identifying these dimensions …

Understanding the recovery dynamics of ecosystems presents a major challenge in the
human‐impacted tropics. We tested whether secondary forests follow equilibrium or non …

Tropical forest understory birds are declining globally for unknown reasons, indicating an
urgent need to understand the causes. We review and synthesize studies investigating …

Variation in forest canopy structure influences both understory light availability and its spatial
distribution. Because light is a major environmental factor limiting growth and survival of …

To characterize species differences in light‐dependent mortality and growth, I transplanted
seedlings of four related tree species into a range of light environments (< 1% to 85% full …

Empirical estimates of the relative importance of different barriers to gene flow between
recently diverged species are important for understanding processes of speciation. I …

Tropical forest productivity is widely assumed to be limited by soil phosphorus (P), but
biogeochemical processes that deplete P also could deplete base cations, suggesting …

We studied the landscape—level spatial variation in distribution and abundance of seven
species of canopy and subcanopy palms in a neotropical rain forest. Within 568 ha of …

Second-growth forests provide an important avenue for at least partially recuperating
biodiversity and ecosystem services in tropical regions. Yet, factors affecting changes in …
