Forecasting how species and ecosystems will respond to climate change has been a major
aim of ecology in recent years. Much of this research has focused on phenology–the timing …

Forest vertebrate fauna provide critical services, such as pollination and seed dispersal,
which underpin functional and resilient ecosystems. In turn, many of these fauna are …

Plant phenology is known to depend on many different environmental variables, but soil
microbial communities have rarely been acknowledged as possible drivers of flowering time …

Agrobacterium is widely considered to be the only bacterial genus capable of transferring
genes to plants. When suitably modified, Agrobacterium has become the most effective …

Background and Aims In the dry tropics, vegetative phenology varies widely with tree
characteristics and soil conditions. The present work aims to document the phenological …

Abstract In tropical rainforests, 30–65% of tree species grow at densities of less than one
individual per hectare. At these low population densities, successful cross-pollination relies …

The sources of water used by woody vegetation growing on karst soils in seasonally dry
tropical regions are little known. In northern Yucatan (Mexico), trees withstand 4–6 months of …

The tropical dry forests constitute a mosaic composed of several phenological functional
types adapted to seasonal drought in different ways. Various functional types differ with …

Many studies have documented advancement in spring plant phenology; however, studies
in dry climates, where water, rather than temperature, is the limiting factor, are rare. To better …

Aim Most deciduous species of dry monsoon forests in Thailand and India form new leaves
1–2 months before the first monsoon rains, during the hottest and driest part of the year …
