Diverse assemblages of seed-dispersing megafauna once existed in Asian rainforests, but are now almost solely represented by elephants. Asia's rhinos ......
Vegetative and reproductive growth of subtropical and tropical forests plays an important role in regulating carbon cycle and maintaining food web dyn......
Lianas are an important component of subtropical forests, but the mechanisms underlying their spatial distribution patterns have received relatively l......
Intensified droughts are affecting tropical forests across the globe. However, the underlying mechanisms of tree drought response and mortality are po......
Microclimate and biotic factors drive wood decomposition. Yet, relatively few studies have been conducted in warmer tropical and subtropical forests c......
Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) have inhabited almost all forests in tropical Asia until recently, yet little is known about their role in ecologica......
Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is an important mechanism facilitating species coexistence in plant communities. Yet, which factors inf......
The proportion of leaves damaged by specialist guilds such as miners and sap-feeders decreased at locations with higher species richness and at higher......
Climate change is predicted to impact tropical rain forests, with droughts becoming more frequent and more severe in some regions. We currently have a......
The rapid proliferation of transportation networks (TNs) threatens the viability of species with wide geographic ranges via habitat fragmentation, roa......
Despite growing interest in using phylogenetic and functional methods to understand community assembly, few studies have examined how these methods ca......
Fig trees provide important resources to tropical animals, but is their keystone role affected by human disturbance? In Sri Lanka, we found that more ......
Monitoring programs for diverse tropical butterfly assemblages are scarce, and temporal diversity patterns in these assemblages are poorly understood.......
