Differences in leaf thermoregulation and water use strategies between three co‐occurring Atlantic forest tree species
Given anticipated climate changes, it is crucial to understand controls on leaf temperatures
including variation between species in diverse ecosystems. In the first study of leaf energy …

Disturbances, elevation, topography and spatial proximity drive vegetation patterns along an altitudinal gradient of a top biodiversity hotspot
The correlation between vegetation patterns (species distribution and richness) and
altitudinal variation has been widely reported for tropical forests, thereby providing …

Defaunation affects the populations and diets of rodents in Neotropical rainforests
Most tropical rainforests have been defaunated of large-bodied mammals and the cascading
effects of such extirpations have been poorly studied, particularly on other animals. We used …
