We analyzed the potential for the dispersal of aquatic plants by cattle through endozoochory in Neotropical wetlands. A total of 982 propagules and whole plants from 37 wetland plant taxa, belonging ...

The factors that drive sapling growth in tropical dry forest succession remain unclear. Growth rates are higher in the early stages of succession and then decrease. Light and not water seems to be th...

Seed dispersal is one of the most frequently published topics in Biotropica. In this commentary, we highlight Biotropica's main contributions to the fertile field of frugivory and seed dispersal whil...

Salinity fluctuations were influenced by monthly rainfall and geographical location in two monsoonal mangrove forests with different rainfall intensities in Thailand. Stem growth and leaf phenology o...

As part of an ongoing collaboration between Natural State and the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, Yadvinder and Nikki recently visited a Natural State field site where, together with the Orange...

In this study, we examined how morphological traits and species diversity of Pyraloidea moths vary with temperature and vegetation cover along an Andean rainforest gradient in Ecuador. Using 4161 ind...

Drought tolerance is an integral determinant of drought survival and distribution in trees. Therefore, an accurate and rapid assessment of drought tolerance can lead to improved prediction of forest ...

We tested the riverine barrier hypothesis in New World monkeys, finding that river width significantly correlates with molecular divergence across species. Our results suggest that rivers and mountai...

We examined the patterns in leafing, flowering, and fruiting of 54 tree species in a tropical forest over a 13-year period in the Eastern Himalaya. Phenological patterns were highly seasonal, and mos...

We confirmed that vegetation density in the study area influences all components of lizard diversity across taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic axes.

Cocha Cashu is a dynamic system that has experienced various forms of past ecological turnover. However, the dynamism seen at Cocha Cashu was not caused by intensive human activities in the past.

Lemurology, or the study of lemurs, is a dynamic field, exploring major topics and involving diverse scientists. We reviewed scientific articles about Lemurs from 1900 to 2022 and reported how studie...

The oceanic island networks had higher network connectance, nestedness, and specialization than the continental island networks. Plant niche overlap was higher on the oceanic island than on the conti...

A study of 736 biological science journals showed only a small fraction are making efforts to foster a multilingual scientific community.

Ecosystems can undergo abrupt and irreversible changes due to global changes. Our systematic review reveals how feedback mechanisms shape tropical terrestrial ecosystems, highlighting the relationshi...

We studied Caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis) population dynamics in open, grass-dominated environments and shrubby environments of coastal Belize savannas. Population growth rates were...

Although trees commonly have holes used by reptiles for nidification, we know more about the selection pattern of these hollows for birds than for non-avian reptiles. Only the variation in air humidi...

We estimated river bird abundance through repeat field counts in the Indian Himalaya across 5 years using N-mixture models that correct for imperfect detection from sparse data. Five bird species dec...

In this study, through a multimodel inference statistical approach, we identified that the variables that explain the abundance and diversity of phyllostomid bats captured in the municipalities of Sa...

We use a terrestrial laser scanner in the forests of Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Edge effects, such as reduced stand structural complexity, are pronounced in isolated forest patches with low ...

Through a morphometric analysis, we found that the outline of Rio sp. (Pentatomidae) is more similar to that of Cephalotes ants (putative models) than to that of non-model ants. However, we could not...

In incipient ant-plant protection mutualisms, a juvenile plant's ability to host ants or to employ alternative direct defenses, such as leaf secondary metabolites, may depend on access to key resourc...

South Asia, renowned for its rich biological heritage, is home to a quarter of the global human population and has been experiencing unprecedented biodiversity loss. In this paper, we provide an over...

Over a 20-year period of artisanal gold mining in Brownsberg Nature Park, Suriname, we documented relative stability in primate encounter rates, a shift in the location of encounters for some species...

In the fruits of the Guanacaste tree (Enterolobium cyclocarpum), abort events are not randomly distributed among fruits and within fruits. The number of aborts within a fruit affects the final weight...

This study reports the first evidence of blue fluorescence in four species of terrestrial and freshwater crabs from Sarawak, Borneo. Fluorescence was observed in all examined individuals, with detail...

Mineral licks are critical resources for herbivores in Amazonia and other tropical regions which may be deficient in dietary minerals or consuming alkaloid-laced leaves which may cause gastrointestin...

We explored the allocation strategies of N and P in leaves and fine roots (metabolic organs) and, in stems and coarse roots (woody organs) of nine dominant tree species in secondary tropical dry fore...

The NOAA office in Hilo that supports that carbon dioxide sampling has been flagged for a possible lease cancellation.
