Patterns of Floristic Differentiation among Atlantic Forests in Southeastern Brazil and the Influence of Climate1

Ary Teixeira de Oliveira‐Filho, Marco Aurélio Leite Fontes · 1 Jan 2000

The tree flora of southeastern Brazilian Atlantic forests was investigated according to two main aspects: (a) the variations in floristic composition of both rain and semi-deciduous forests were analyzed in terms of geographic and climatic variables by performing multivariate analyses on 125 existing floristic checklists; and (b) the links of both rain and semi-deciduous forests…

Basin‐Wide Effects of Game Harvest on Vertebrate Population Densities in Amazonian Forests: Implications for Animal‐Mediated Seed Dispersal

Carlos A. Peres, Erwin Palacios · 18 Apr 2007

ABSTRACT Vertebrate responses to hunting are widely variable for target and nontarget species depending on the history of hunting and productivity of any given site and the life history traits of game species. We provide a comprehensive meta‐analysis of changes in population density or other abundance estimates for 30 mid‐sized to large mammal, bird and…

Gap Partitioning among Tropical Rainforest Trees

Julie S. Denslow · 1 Jun 1980

Published observations on adaptations for seed disperal and seedling establishment are consistent with the hypothesis that rainforest trees partition forest clearings as establishment sites for offspring. Gaps vary importantly in two ways. The size of the opening affects the microclimate of the gap and therefore the conditions for seedling establishment. For any individual tree, the…
