Defaunation in the Anthropocene
We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and
population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly …

More than just indicators: a review of tropical butterfly ecology and conservation
Roughly 90% of butterfly species live in the tropics. Despite this, we know very little about
tropical butterfly ecology particularly when compared to temperate butterfly systems. The …

Sustaining conservation values in selectively logged tropical forests: the attained and the attainable
FE Putz, PA Zuidema, T Synnott… - Conservation …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Most tropical forests outside protected areas have been or will be selectively logged so it is
essential to maximize the conservation values of partially harvested areas. Here we …

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and barcoded pyrosequencing reveal unprecedented archaeal diversity in mangrove sediment and rhizosphere samples
Mangroves are complex ecosystems that regulate nutrient and sediment fluxes to the open
sea. The importance of bacteria and fungi in regulating nutrient cycles has led to an interest …
