Climate warming effects in the tropical Andes: first evidence for upslope shifts of Carabidae (Coleoptera) in Ecuador

Barragán Yánez, Álvaro Rodrigo; Araúz, María de los Ángeles (29/04/2016)

In order to assess the impact of global warming on the biodiversity of the tropical high Andean páramo ecosystem, we compared historical and recent surveys of ground beetle communities along elevational gradients of the ...
Common trees of Yasuní. A guide for identifying the common trees of the Ecuadorian Amazon

Navarrete Zambrano, Hugo Guillermo (2016)

This book is destined to be a classic of tropical botany, as much for the very high quality of the production as for the enormous need that exists for guides of this kind in terms of the megadiverse flora of Amazonia. The ...
Leaf wax n-alkane patterns of six tropical montane tree species show species-specific environmental response

León Yánez, Susana del Consuelo (2019-08)

It remains poorly understood how the composition of leaf wax n-alkanes reflects the local environment. This knowledge gap inhibits the interpretation of plant responses to the environment at the community level and, by ...
Limited carbon and biodiversity co-benefits for tropical forest mammals and birds

Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (08/6/2016)

The conservation of tropical forest carbon stocks offers the opportunity to curb climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and simultaneously conserve biodiversity. However, there has been ...
Microclimate variability significantly affects the composition, abundance and phenology of butterfly communities in a highly threatened neotropical dry forest

Checa Villafuerte, María Fernanda (2014)

In temperate areas, microclimate is a key factor affecting the population dynamics of insects, but very few studies have examined the potential significance of microclimate in diverse tropical insect communities. We ...
Microclimatic warming leads to a decrease in species and growth form diversity: insights from a tropical alpine grassland

Muriel Mera, Erika Priscilla (2021-09)

Due to warming, changes in microclimatic temperatures have shifted plant community structure and dynamics in tundra and alpine regions. The directionality and magnitude of these changes are less known for tropical alpine ...
No strong evidence for increasing liana abundance in the Myristicaceae of a Neotropical aseasonal rain forest

Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (2017-02)

The "liana dominance hypothesis" posits that lianas are increasing in abundance in tropical forests, thereby potentially reducing tree biomass due to competitive interactions between trees and lianas. This scenario has ...
Pan-tropical prediction of forest structure from the largest trees

Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (2018-10-10)

Large tropical trees form the interface between ground and airborne observations, offering a unique opportunity to capture forest properties remotely and to investigate their variations on broad scales. However, despite ...
Phylogenetic turnover along local environmental gradients in tropical forest communities

Navarrete Zambrano, Hugo Guillermo; Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (2016-06-23)

While the importance of local-scale habitat niches in shaping tree species turnover along environmental gradients in tropical forests is well appreciated, relatively little is known about the influence of phylogenetic ...
Physical, but not chemical, antiherbivore defense expression is related to the clustered spatial distribution of tropical trees in an Amazonian forest

Cárdenas Muñoz, Rafael Enrique; Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (2019-01)

The conspecific negative density dependence hypothesis states that mortality of young trees (seedlings and saplings) is higher near conspecific adults due to mechanisms such as allelopathy, intraspecific competition, and ...
Plant dispersal strategies of high tropical alpine communities across the Andes

Muriel Mera, Erika Priscilla (2020-05)

Dispersal is a key ecological process that influences plant community assembly. Therefore, understanding whether dispersal strategies are associated with climate is of utmost importance, particularly in areas greatly exposed ...
Plant diversity patterns in neotropical dry forests and their conservation implications

Quintana Medina, Catalina Lilian (23/09/2016)

Seasonally dry tropical forests are distributed across Latin America and the Caribbean and are highly threatened, with less than 10% of their original extent remaining in many countries. Using 835 inventories covering 4660 ...
Plant traits predict inter- and intraspecific variation in susceptibility to herbivory in a hyperdiverse Neotropical rain forest tree community

Cárdenas Muñoz, Rafael Enrique; Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (2014)

A key issue in plant/herbivore interaction research is to understand which plant traits drive differences in herbivore damage. Variation in chemical, physical or phenological traits of plants may all modulate the degree ...
Spatially-explicit testing of a general aboveground carbon density estimation model in a western amazonian forest using airborne LiDAR

Valencia Reyes, Luis Renato (2015)

Mapping aboveground carbon density in tropical forests can support CO2 emission monitoring and provide benefits for national resource management. Although LiDAR technology has been shown to be useful for assessing carbon ...
