Habitat quality, not patch isolation, drives distribution and abundance of two light-demanding butterflies in fragmented coppice landscapes
Coppice forests are socio-ecological systems especially rich in biodiversity. They have been transformed into high forest and abandoned across large...

Stand structure, community composition and tree species diversity of sub-tropical forest of Nagaland, Northeast India
Tree species composition and diversity were assessed in six forest communities at an altitudinal gradient (i.e. from 247 to 1478 m) by laying four...

Patterns of Reforestation Successions on Abandoned Agricultural Lands of the Bashkir Cis-Urals
AbstractThe analysis and forecasting of the course of restoration successions on abandoned agricultural lands of the Bashkir Cis-Urals are presented....

Relationship between species diversity and tree size in natural forests around the Tropic of Cancer
Although numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain the patterns of species diversity of forests at local and landscape levels, it is still...

Landscape context importance for predicting forest transition success in central Panama
ContextNaturally recovering secondary forests are frequently re-cleared before they can recover to pre-disturbance conditions. Identifying landscape...

Complexity of the Male Perfume of Eulaema nigrita from Forest and Woody Physiognomies of the Brazilian Savanna: Is There a Relationship with Body Size and Wing Wear?
Male orchid bees collect volatile and semi-volatile compounds from the environment for storage and accumulation in specialized hind legs. Later,...

Lianas do not reduce tree biomass accumulation in young successional tropical dry forests
Young successional tropical forests are crucial in the global carbon cycle because they can quickly sequester large quantities of atmospheric carbon....

Absence of “Absences”: The Engler–Hengl Approach in Species Distribution Modeling
AbstractThe possibilities of creating artificial absence points (pseudo-absences) to build species distribution models are considered. An approach...

Fungal communities mediate but do not control leaf litter chemical transformation in a temperate oak forest
Background and AimsIn temperate forests, fungi are the main actors in leaf litter decomposition. Still, we have minimal knowledge of their influence...
