Declines or mid‐elevation peaks in invertebrate diversity with elevation are often attributed
to climate and geometric constraints. However, vegetation structure may also drive diversity …

In arthropod community ecology, species richness studies tend to be prioritised over those
investigating patterns of abundance. Consequently, the biotic and abiotic drivers of arboreal …

Tropical rainforest trees host a diverse arthropod fauna that can be characterised by their
functional diversity (FD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD). Human disturbance degrades …

A diversity of microhabitats has been suggested to play a key role in mediating the co-
occurrence of trees with specific tree-inhabiting biodiversity, which may further influence …

Clearing diseased wood is a common measure used to reduce the continued spread of pine
wilt disease and prevent infecting other pines. However, the impact of clearing diseased …

Arboreal ants are ecologically important in tropical forests, but there are few studies using
DNA markers to examine their population and colony structure. Colonies of the arboreal …

Many tropical insect species remain formally undescribed, and the validity of some rarely
collected and poorly studied taxa is uncertain. Overbeckia Viehmeyer, 1916 is a monotypic …

Tropical rainforest canopies host a highly diverse arthropod fauna, which contribute to
ecosystem function through their functional (FD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD). While a lot …

Previous studies have provided important scientific information on ant species richness and
composition relating to the effects of elevation, sampling approaches, stratification, and …

Secondary montane forest is created by either natural or artificial disturbances resulting in
open canopies. It is an important resource in relation to economic and ecological values …
